After an absence of almost three years Carworld Motorsport returns to the fastest class of the Dutch Supercar Challenge. The past few year Pieter Dubois and René Wijnen competed in the Supersport I class driving a Renault Mégane Trophy silhouette, but from the next race weekend at Spa onwards they will be driving a Mosler MT900 GT3. The duo returns to the class they won in 2005 with 326 points, a record still standing, driving a Viper SRT-10.
Carworld Motorsport has been competing in the Dutch Supercar Challenge for many years now. Team owner Pieter Dubois and René Wijnen very successfully entered a Viper in 2005 and 2006, but the next year they parted ways. From 2008 on the two men from the deep south of The Netherlands joined forces again and entered a Renault Mégane Trophy, resulting in multiple wins and podium finishes. Besides the Wijnen - Dubois entry Carworld Motorsport has ran several other cars like the Porsche of Rob Frijns, who is now at the top of the standings in Supersport I together with his son Charlie. In the past the Carworld team also entered the yellow ETEC Viper of Robert de Graaff and Philippe Ribbens.
Even though they were successful in the Supersport I class they always had the desire to return to the GTs. “After we left the class we won with a record breaking points tally René and I always had the wish in the back of our minds to return”, Pieter Dubois explains. “And our sponsor Kembit was very eager to return to the highest class too.”
Not long ago the opportunity to acquire a GT car presented itself and the choice was an easy one. “After we decided to return to the GTs we soon found a buyer for our Mégane who offered us the possibility to get our hands on a Mosler”, Dubois said. “Due to misfortune and technical difficulties we were no longer a title contender in Supersport I, so we decided to make the switch with immediate effect. This way we have two more race weekends this year to get to know the car and decide what changes we want made for next year.”
Carworld Motorsport has a busy schedule ahead of them, because apart from the Mosler they have to prepare, they are in top position for the Supersport I championship with father and son Frijns and the team is also running another Mégane. “We are on a tight schedule to prepare our new Mosler so we can present our new livery at Spa”, concludes team owner Dubois. “The team members and our sponsors have reacted in a very positive way to our switch and the expectations are high. We are really eager to race our Mosler!”
The Dutch Supercar Challenge will be racing at Spa Francorchamps, Belgium on October 2nd and 3rd.
