Saker Sportscar Challenge 2012
The beauty of Saker, is that it is an already well proven product, strongly established in Australia and the Netherlands for many years. The latter currently entering its sixth year of the hugely successful Saker Sportscar Challenge, with over sixty five cars having already been built.
The Saker has an outstanding appearance and is a pure racer that can easily compete with much more expensive race cars, like Porsche and BMW. It uses a strong-space frame chassis with a GRP sectional bodywork, including gull-wing doors (GT model) and runs on Avon slicks.
The Dutch National Racing Team (DNRT) will continue organizing the dutch Saker Sportscar Challenge in the Netherlands, the dutch one make series which has been succesful for years. The DNRT is proud to anounce that this year the Saker Sportscar Challenge drivers will have the unique chance to race the racetrack of Spa Francorchamps as a part of the Saker Sportscar Challenge, followed by a race in the UK and the final race during 'Saker World Final' on Zandvoort.
