To win both the GT2 and overall titles in the prestigious Privilege Insurance G.T. Championship with a team that combines Dutch business acumen with British engineering expertise in the true spirit of European co-operation. The Championship itself was born from the world famous Le Mans 24 Hour race and brings some of the most highly powerful and truly exciting GT sports cars to our race tracks.
Already established itself as a regular winning force in both Holland and in International events, Dutch Racing Promotions has a record of great success in the Maranello Ferrari Challenge, the Ferrari-Porsche Challenge, the Opel Euroseries, the Dutch Touring Car Championship and in International F3 racing. The partnership with G-Tech Motorsport brings to the team a superb engineering input from a company that has a proven hugely successful record in British motorsport with the bonus of a base in southern England, close to the Continent and ideal for both the British and Belgian races of the Championship.
