GLPK wordt "Oreca" voor Pagani
Bron: dailysportscar.com:
"Hot on the heels of the earlier snippet today regarding the Pagani Zonda, we now learn from an official release that Tom Weickardt (Owner, American Viperacing), Toine Hezemans (Owner, Carsport Holland), and Paul Kumpen (Owner, GLPK), have joined together in partnership to form a new company, Carsport Zonda.
Carsport Zonda has secured the exclusive worldwide rights from Pagani Automobili to build the Pagani Zonda C12GTS.
The GTS cars will be produced exclusively at the new Carsport Zonda facility near the Pagani Automobili factory in Modena, Italy. The car will feature a chrome moly steel space frame attached to a carbon fiber center structure, and will be powered by a Mercedes AMG V12. Tom Weickardt’s American Viperacing team will enter the car at Sebring in March, and then in the remaining nine ALMS races.
What we didn’t know until now is that the Zonda C12S was inspired by Juan Manuel Fangio and was first conceived after a private gathering at Fangio’s home: it was a tribute to the great man. Within three months or less, we’ll have an idea of its potential on the track. "
