New car, same speed for Bleekemolen
New car, same speed for Bleekemolen
Ten days ago Jeroen Bleekemolen climbed out his Alex Job Racing Porsche at Lime Rock to survey the damage – significant damage which resulted from a massive impact from the Risi Competizione Ferrari.
The No.22 Porsche was slammed in the passenger door and written off. The Alex Job Racing team faced a race against time to build up a new car for this weekend’s event at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park.
The car may be new, but the speed was the same with the Dutchman taking the GTC class pole here in Canada today.
“It was a really good qualifying run,” Bleekemolen said.
“It is a new car since Lime Rock. The guys did a great job since the last race to completely rebuild the car and it has been fast all week. The car has been trouble free and fast.
“We have been the fastest in the practice sessions and now on pole. Cooper is doing some fast laps, so I think we are the favorite for tomorrow. I think it is going to be a great race to the very end.”
