Jos Menten announced as fourth driver with MPM Racing by Verbist, and not Schroyen!

Jos Menten als vierde man bij MPM Racing by VerbistThe driver tally now stands at 105, as opposed to 104! At the last minute MPM Racing by Verbist added a fourth driver to its line-up. Following on from the Belgian driver Julien Schroyen crying off, Jos Menten was drummed up to drive the Porsche 996 GT3 RS. Together with Markus Palttala, Armand Fumal and Michel Pulinx this 27 year old Dutchman will be out to clinch gold in Division 3.

Jos Menten's last appearance in the 24 Hours of Zolder dates back to 2006: "I've always kept great memories of the Zolder endurance race, and especially as highlight my second place back in 2003. What this coming weekend's outcome might be? No idea. A lot will depend on the car and how the GT3-cars in general perform. For us there's no problem regarding the norm time. We'll drive our own race and we'll see we end up. Victory in Division 3 is possible... but who knows we might still come out with a few surprises in the overall rankings. "
