[werner]

Round 4-6 of the Dutch GT4-championship were held at Zandvoort last monday. 17.500 visitors saw the drivers finisch in the following order.

Race 1:
1. Junior Strous, Aston Martin GT4, 14 laps in 26:17,388 (137,615 km/u)
2. Tim Buijs, BMW M3, op 0,564 sec.,
3. Christiaan Frankenhout, Porsche 997, op 1,000,

Junior Strous skipped a race of the Indy Light series to race in Europe for his Sponsors.


Race 2:
1. Jeroen Bleekemolen, Corvette C6, 14 laps in 26:18,583 (137, 511km/u)
2. Phil Bastiaans, Porsche 997, op 0,740 sec.,
3. Danny van Dongen, Corvette C6, op 0,782,

Bleekemolen did not qualify due to racingduty's in the German Porschecup at the Lausitzring, so he had to start from the last place (22th). Fortunately, that gave him fresh tires, so the disadvantage was not that large.


Race 3:
1. Tim Buijs / Sebastiaan Bleekemolen, BMW M3 GT4, 26 laps in 50:37, 074 (132,738 km/u)
2. Simon Knap, BMW M3 GT4 GT4, op 5,254 sec.,
3. Phil Bastiaans / Christiaan Frankenhout, Porsche 997, op 7,156

Junior Strous was in the lead for a long time, but his mandatory pitstop was to short, so he had to do a stop-and-go-penalty throwing him out of the podiumspots.


For the next 3 races, the championship for the first time moves to Assen.
