Horndawg I appreciate your summaries of the prospective grids as well as your links that are already translated to english, it cuts down on time required to keep up to date on the sports car news. Please keep up the good work!

Equipe Verschuur have announced their 08 driver line-up. It will be headed by P. van Merksteijn of course (car owner), he will be joined full time by Jos Verstappen (ex-F1) and the third driver is Jeroen Bleekemolen (A1GP).

HORNDAWG: mind you the official name of the team is not Equipe Verschuur but Van Merksteijn Motorsport.

The team would appreciate it if this name is used...

To add to the confusion, the team is being refered to as "Van Merksteijn Motorsport by Equipe Verschuur" and the RS Spyder is being run out of (a separated off area of) Equipe Verschuur's facility at Nigmegen.

Trevor: I know

But the official name for the team to be used in '08 and on the timing sheets will be Van Merksteijn Motorsport.

We were asked to use this name in our reports by the team.

(Btw, the facility is near Nijmegen in a place called Oosterhout)

Rather than butcher the name I think I'll refer to the team as "VM Motorsport".

I am probably the happiest person on this board to this! Jos is my favourite driver! (Along with Jacques Villeneuve that is) It'll be awesome to see him in a top prototype! Have you guys heard if they intend to do Sebring or Petit?

Racing Box to not only run a P-2 Lucchini Judd but a 2008 Porsche 997 RSR also.
