© DPPI
PK Carsport’s Corvette of Mike Hezemans and Anthony Kumpen claimed a fine win in difficult conditions today in Oschersleben, their Corvette Z06 taking the win ahead of the two Vitaphone Maserati MC 12 cars, Bartels and Bertolini ahead of Müller and Ramos. After Saleen in Silverstone and Maserati in Adria, this is the third different winning make in three races.
In GT2, three makes finished on the podium - an exceptional result in this category. Reigning Champions Vilander and Bruni claimed the win in the rain, ahead of the Prospeed Competition Porsche of Edwards and Holzer - the youngest driver pairing on the grid. The Hexis Racing AMR Aston Martin of Makowiecki and Mücke took third - the first podium for this car. Chris Niarchos won the Citation Cup after a fourth-place finish for CRS Racing. The best 2010 generation car was the Marc VDS Racing Ford GT, with a fine sixth-place finish.

Congratulations Hezemans! Thoroughly enjoyed this race. Like Adria and my attendance at Silverstone before that - the racing is top notch and the way they involve the fans at a rock bottom price makes the FIA Championship the place to be. Things are only going to get better as of next year also. Anyway, role on Spa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations Hezemans AND KUMPEN. Mike made a fantastic start and there was a perfect team strategy, but i’ve seen with my own eyes AT THE SCENE that Anthony had to work very hard during the rain. Watching him driving in very difficult conditions ( Maserati’s are a lot easier to race in the rain, we’ve noticed ), he did an excellent job ( and i’m NOT a member of his fanclub, but i must confess he was great ). On the other hand, Tommy, i must agree, long live FIA GT and its successors ( in the secure hands of SRO ).
