FIA GT: Mad-Croc Racing sign Maassen



Mad-Croc Racing has signed Xavier Maassen for the FIA GT1 World Championship.

The 29-year-old Dutch driver will race a Corvette C6.Rs for the DKR Engineering-run squad joins Oliver Gavin, Mika Salo and Pertti Kuismanen who are already confirmed in the other car as the team’s confirmed drivers.

Maassen was a race winner in a DKR Corvette in the FIA GT Championship in 2008 and drove to fourth in the final standings in the same series in a Luc Alphand Aventures C6.R last season.

The team will name Maassen’s co-driver soon according to DKR’s Kendy Jenclaes, although Enrique Bernoldi has been linked with the role after leaving Matech Competition this week.

“We are very happy to have been able to sign a driver like Xavier, who proved both his speed and his professionalism last year,” Jenclaes said. “We now need to find a second driver as fast as Xavier, in order to fight for the title.”
