For the second race weekend of the 2015 season in the Blancpain Sprint Series Reiter Engineering is putting together a new driver duo for the Gallardo GT3 Extenso. Peter Kox will return to the team that we worked for many years as developing, test and factory driver for the race in Zolder, Belgium. The Dutchman will share the cockpit of the R-EX with Albert von Thurn und Taxis.
It’s going to take a while before you see Reiter Engineering on an entry list ahead of an event without the assumption that Peter Kox will also be listed, as for so long he’d been partnered with Hans Reiter before he left the organisation last month. When DSC sat down with Kox back at this year’s Blancpain Test at Paul Ricard for a long chat about his history with the team, little did we know that the partnership was nearing its end.
My first memory of Kox driving for Reiter was pretty recently to be honest. Sitting on the Mercedes grandstand at the 2010 round of the FIA GT1 World Championship at the Nürburgring, watching what was then a competitive field of cars fight through changeable conditions in the Saturday Qualifying Race, I remember being amazed.
