Peter Kox joins Young Driver AMR for Le Mans
Young Driver AMR has completed its line-up for the Le Mans 24 Hours next June. The German team, which will enter the only Aston Martin DBR9 in France, today confirmed it has signed experienced Dutchman Peter Kox for its assault on the Le Mans GT1 title.
The 45-years old driver from Eindhoven, The Netherlands will share the cockpit of the DBR9 with 33-years old Tomas Enge and 23-years old Christoffer Nygaard, hardly making it a ‘Young Driver’ entry. Kox and Enge raced together in a GT1 car back in 2003, when the two drivers won the GT1 class at Le Mans in a Ferrari 550 Maranello, also developed by Prodrive.
Young Driver AMR will have full Aston Martin Racing support and Le Mans and the team is likely to join the Le Mans Series at the 1000 km of Spa-Francorchamps in May to get a better preparation for the Le Mans 24 Hours. Peter Kox will compete in the FIA GT1 World Championship for Reiter Engineering, one of Young Driver AMR’s rivals.
