FIA GT - REVIEW FIA GT SPA 24hrs: ProSpeed Competition clinches podium in Spa GT3
26 July 2009

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS. “It didn’t turn out to be an easy weekend for us and we didn’t fully achieve our targets”, an honest Rudi Penders commented after the finish of the 24 Hours of Spa, the fourth round of the FIA GT. “We did clinch a podium in GT3 with the #161 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup S with Palttala, Lanik, Loix and Slingerland, as also a fourth place in GT2 with the #61 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR of our gentlemen drivers Van Splunteren, Coronel, Hommerson and Machiels, which is a fantastic performance, but our spearhead, namely the #60 Porsche of Collard, Edwards, O’Young and Westbrook was highly frustrating. A race incident lost them a podium, but in all honesty we weren’t able to put the winning Ferrari under enough pressure. On the other hand we can boast having four cars at the finish, seeing our Belgo-French team, Brouard, Kerkhove, Havette and Nozière crossed the line, with as outcome a well deserved sixth place in GT3. Overall we were pretty good, but a top result wasn’t there.”
