Wolf Racing Cars factory team enters in the Zolder 24 Hours with Anthony Kumpen, Bert Longin, Frank Beliën & Ivan Bellarosa

Wolf Racing Cars will enter a factory car with all the latest specs in the 24 Hours of Zolder. The drivers will be Wolf factory development driver Ivan Bellarosa, accompanied by Belgians Anthony Kumpen, Bert Longin and Frank Beliën.

Giovanni Bellarosa : “We are very happy that Anthony Kumpen & Bert Longin have chosen the Wolf GB08 to target another win in the 24hrs of Zolder, this prestigious race that they have already won 6 and 5 times. Accompanied by Frank Beliën and Ivan Bellarosa we have a very strong line-up, so all good reasons to focus on the Wolf!"

Anthony Kumpen: " I know what it takes to win this race, I won it 6 times already and with this Wolf we have what we need to win. Now we have to start analysing the details, currently the main priority. Last year for example I expressed my concerns on some small developments that we still had to test during the race. Unfortunately, the race proved me right, since the parts I worried about were the ones that cost us the victory. This year, we will make all final decisions together with the Wolf engineers.
One reason we chose Wolf is because I am convinced it's the car we need to win, but on the other side we want to write history. We want to be the first ones to win the Zolder 24 hours in an open car. In Zolder the easy decision is to come with a Porsche, because the race is really made for that car, but we never follow the easy way. I even dare to say that with the factory support and the line-up and extra support we have, we are the favourites to win the race. We don't just aim for a podium and we won't be smiling after the race unless we are on P1."

Bert Longin: " At the beginning of the season Anthony convinced me to step into Nascar and I’m so happy now that we did. It's a fantastic type of racing that will soon grow big in Europe. A few months later, he came with this project. Although it's not the common thing to do if you look into it in detail, it's like Anthony says: we are the favourites and we have to win in this combination. To give even more strength to the project, we add some technical and engineering support from PK Carsport to the factory team. In this way we add important experience on a strategic level.
In the past 3 years the race was a bit down on the number of cars. Now it seems like we will have about 50 cars. This makes the race a lot more difficult again and makes it even more important to win."

Ivan Bellarosa: "I am honoured to compete in this race with Anthony and Bert. My main task will be to enable them to quickly understand our GB08 . We are driven by the same determination to win the race. Frank also already won this race, so we cannot hide for the competition."
Frank Belien: “In 2010 I won the Zolder 24 hours with Bert and Anthony. This year we are team mates in the Belgian GT championship. Bert and Anthony proposed me to step with them into this new project that they set up for the Zolder 24 Hours. As we have been successful together in the past and with the great potential the Wolf showed so far, it was an easy decision for me to participate in this project. Our ambition is high and I look forward to this race on my home track."
