Marc Sluszny - Le Mans update

Marc Sluszny of Antwerp, Belgium, has postponed his plan to compete in les
24 Heures du Mans. A late driver change on his announced team for this
year's race led to discussions with several other teams, but he decided
against the available opportunities. With the Le Mans test set for June 5,
he did not believe the remaining time was sufficient to implement an
effective program. 

 

Instead, Sluszny will work with two-time Le Mans GT winner Sascha Maassen of
Raeren, Belgium, to prepare for the 2006 race.

 

"Doing Le Mans is one of my highest goals, but it has to be an adventure
that is lived together as a team and for the team, rather than an individual
performance. For me, the team effort is as important as my personal
achievements," Sluszny said. "Together with Sascha, I believe we can find
the right combination for next year."
