24 hours at Spa - Francorchamps not even started for Ho-Pin Tung
2009-07-26
At the moment that Ho-Pin Tung was ready to take over the wheel from legendary former Formula 1-champion Jacques Villeneuve in the 24 hrs race in the FIA GT championship at Spa-Francorchamps today, the entry of the Gravity International Team in the Mosler MT 900R ended unfortunately. The Canadian crashed the car when pouring rain caused a multi car collision at the entry of the bus stop chicane. ‘The car was at the front and rear a little shorter,’ said the disappointed young Chinese. ‘I was ready, stood with my helmet on and wanted to show something in the wet.’
‘It is a shame that all our efforts did not show in the results. I did not know 24 hours could be so short.’
The Chinese hero now concentrates on the forthcoming meeting in the Superleague Formula at Donnington Park. ‘My second place at Zolder, last weekend, certainly contains a promise,‘ says a motivated Ho-Pin Tung.
