Tomorrow (on my birthday), the fifth race for the ZAC2 competition will be raced. After 5 races the competition is very close, with Koos de Boer in the lead (46points) followed by Koen van Holsbeeke (43points) and in third ucp's very own Roy Visser (42points). We will be racing on the lesser known, and not loved by the reallife GT racers, Anderstorp GT circuit. A very demanding track, with banked turns which only have grip on the ideal line. Overtaking will be hard, and letting the faster GT cars pass you, will be even harder!

Race Time: 75 minutes

Roy Visser
Have been testing on the track, my setup needs allot of fine tuning still, since i cant match the speed of last years champion (Mark Kroesbergen, current 5th in the championship, just 2 points infront of the second ucp driver, jeroen ursem) but my ability to drive a steady pace will hopefully make up for it!
