Mustang Takes on the World, and Wins!
From a Canadian automotive forum:
MUSTANG STAMPEDE TAKES ON THE WORLD, WINS 'EM ALL
5.10.2008
Belgian Eric de Doncker wins his second consecutive FIA GT4 European Driver's Championship in the Motorsports98 Mustang FR500GT4 and his team wins the FIA GT4 Team Championship in Nogaro, France earlier today. Accumulating 117 points in the 18 race series, de Doncker needed to finish only sixth or higher in one of the three Nogaro GT4 races this week-end. A third place finish in the first race by the cautious de Doncker clinched both championships again in 2008.
In the US, the longest Grand American Koni Championship race of the season (6 hours) saw equivalent victories for the Mustang FR500Cs, with the 2008 Grand American Driver's Championship, the 2008 Team Championship, and the 2008 Manufacturer's Championship won by Mustang racers at Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia. Mustang drivers Canney & Plumb took the Manufacturer's Championship with the win, and Mustang drivers Maxwell & Foster became co-Driver's Champions with their fifth place finish as well as taking the Team Championship for Team Hypersport. Five Mustangs, three Porsches, and two BMWs were in the lead lap at the end of the six hours, with the BMWs taking eighth and ninth and the Porsches taking third, fourth, and seventh.
