Another international podium for Christoff Corten

One of the discoveries in the European endurance scene is Christoff Corten (19) from Belgium. The young driver from Tienen started in last years Spa 24 Hours and drove in his international career with a Porsche 997 Super Cup managed by Level Racing. Along with Kurt Dujardin, Brody and the young Dutchman Mathijs Harkema they scored victory in the GTR class during the same race. In last weekends final race of the Blancpain Endurance Series in Silverstone, Christoff Corten made a guest appearance and once again he scored a podium. Corten drove along with his team mates Brody and Mathijs Harkema in the Level Racing Porsche 997 and scored a third place in the GTR class. In this way they scored a second place in the team standings for the small team from Eupen.

Level Racing had set its score into a top three finish, aiming to claim the vice champion title for the team in the GTR class.

Team manager Olivier Muytjens commented: "Corten drove the first stint but was slowed by a puncture. Later on we had problems with a broken starter engine in which our three drivers had to catch up to get the maximum out this troublesome race. In the end they scored a third place in the Gentleman Trophy, once again an international podium and in the same time the vice champion title! Congratulations to our drivers!"

Christoff Corten: "It wasn’t an easy race, that’s for sure. In the beginning of the race I had some problems with understeer and really battled with the Porsche. At the time they fixed the problem with the starter engine the team also adjusted the balance of the car resulting in better lap times. Finally we scored a third place in our class and at the same time the second place place in the team rankings. I was glad to score another podium without further problems. It’s my fourth race with Level Racing and all the times we could fight for the top rankings. Right now I’ve to start my long search in finding the needed sponsorship aiming on another season. I would like to thank Total fort their trust in me and hope to score much more top rankings next year!"

Christoff Corten is available for teams participating in the Zolder 1000 kms.
