Measurics curse on the GPVWC winter series

No points were scored during the 2012-2013 GPVWC Winter GT (which later became the World GT), and it seems to be the same in this years’ winter series: the GPVWC International Touring Cup.

Looking back to last year; there was a pretty strong line-up with Lee Davidson and Mike Schroten as primary drivers and rookie Martijn Rietberg as reserve driver.

But Measuric racing was not able to score points, although there were some serious attempts. Mike Schroten was able to score points until he ran out of fuel with only 1.5 laps to go. Two weeks later, during the Daytona GT race, Mike Schroten had some serious chances to finish within the top-5, Schroten qualified 4^th. But after almost one lap, while driving 5th, he lost connection to the server and retired.

Team manager Mike Schroten wanted revenge during GPVWC’s new winter series: the GPVWC International Touring Cup (ITC). With a line-up including Janne Vaananen and Jon MacLean as primary drivers and Joshua Anderson as reserve driver (and after a few rounds this line-up changed when Joshua Anderson replaced Jon MacLean in the #35 car. However, with only two more rounds to go, Vaananen and Anderson were not able to score points and the team is currently 21^st in the standings, out of 22 competing teams.

 

With only two more rounds to score points, there is quite some pressure on the team. Are they able to break the curse, or will it dominate the team during the remainder of the season?
