German sports car pilot Stefan Mucke on start at the GT1 World at
Spa-Francorchamps - "A track that I really like and the car should be
optimal for it" - Aiming on points
Berlin/Spa-Francorchamps (rol/ot) Aiming to gather some points, German
sports car pilot Stefan Mucke made his way off to Spa-Francorchamps at
Belgium after a short trip to the Baltic Sea with his family. At Belgium
the fifth event of the FIA GT World Championship is scheduled from
Thursday to Saturday (29th to 31st of July) including the season runs
nine and ten in the main program of the 24 hours race.
"This time our races take place on Friday and Saturday but as usual
lasting one hour each. The rollercoaster track at the Ardennen is always
a highlight for each race driver. I like that track very much and I think
the car should be optimal for it", tells the Aston Martin works driver
that is sharing the cockpit of the DBR9 for the Team Young Driver AMR
(Paderborn/Copenhagen) with his Dane team colleague Christoffer Nygaard.
"I am aiming to bring some points home again this time", underlines
Stefan Mucke. "This will not be easy, because our DBR9 has to carry a
lot of additional weight", adds the 28 year old. "Anyway I am looking
forward to the races, especially because the break has been very long".
About four weeks ago the Berlin drove the fastest lap time at the Paul
Ricard track at Le Castellet (France), but in the end he didn't gather
any points because of a problem with the drive mechanism at the
Qualifying Race and a tyre damage at the Championship Race. "I hope to
get through the races in Spa without any problems this time. We should
have the speed yet to drive up front", tells Stefan Mucke.
