BRNO – CZECH REPUBLIC. The third round of the FIA GT1 World Championship moves to the challenging Brno Automotodrom in the Czech Republic this upcoming weekend.

Mad-Croc Racing will again enter the two Corvette C6.R. Xavier Maassen and another Dutch driver will race the #11 Corvette, while Pertti Kuismanen and Mika Salo will be on duty in the #12 American GT1.

Mika Salo is of course a former ex-F1-driver, who drove over 100 GP’s for Ferrari, Sauber, Lotus, Toyota, BAR and Tyrell, finishing as high as 2nd in the German GP in 1999.
