Coast Racing Team: all or nothing!

Let 's be honest. Things haven't been working out that well for Frank Vancraeynest and his team. Last year they were haunted by tire problems and other technical items. This year the team had its portion of bad luck too, with their fast driver Philippe Dentant being out. At Coast Racing there are no secrets, so let's look behind the scenes ...

Frank Vancraeynest is very clear : "This Euphony 24 Hours of Zolder race means everything to us. After all the bad luck we will try to have it another way. We will be on the GTB podium or we will vanish while we're fighting. That is, unless some more bad luck happens, yet I think this time I will tear out every hair on my head... (They are curly and they are... a lot!) We have had our share of bad luck and the team is convinced that times will change. Every team member, small or big, deserves this! Noh?"

And they are serious about it at Coast Racing. Vancraeynest, and Paul Grutman as a second driver, have a lot of experience with the endurance racing at Zolder. Once it was a hobby, right now it is a passion, surrounded by a bunch of motorsports enthusiasts each doing their job perfectly. For Frank everyone in his team is just as important, no exceptions...

Frank Vancraeynest ordered a complete setup of the car at AD Sport. Costs and efforts were made. "This year we have chosen the team of Albert Vanierschot to set up the car. We lacked engine power, yet this was entirely due to the older spec we fitted in. No word about the service quality which is extremely good. So some weeks ago I ordered a complete new setup for the car, renewing the engine as well as many other items. This will cost lots of money, but as I said this race means everything to us ! WE go for it and we hope others will too, offering a thrilling race to all those motorsports enthusiasts."

"By the way : interested drivers looking for a seat should contact one adress : teaminfo@24u.be. My congratulations to the team of 24u.be. It is the fourth year that they bring everything about the race to the screens of those who stay home, being the official website of the event, and being run by a former team manager of Coast Racing. I truly am proud of it. We both still enjoy everything. Stay tuned on www.24u.be where you will find every news about us and the other teams in the Euphony 24 Hours of Zolder."
