Information Albi-Engineering racing team in Dutch GT4:
With great passion Albi Engineering* joined the Dutch GT4 Championship**. Team manager of Albi Engineering, Erik Albertsma, automotive engineer and data analist, runs together with his team, which has 8 years of experience at top
level in professional auto racing, the only BMW Z4 in this well known and extremely competitive GT4 Championship.
All resources and an adequate budget are spent on an optimal preparation of the BMW Z4. Now the start up defects and some unfortunate mechanical problems are taken care of, this smallest but most competitive team is performing
superbly with incredible achievements in the last few meetings of this season. Although the BMW Z4 is the only car within this Championship that didn’t receive any restrictions from the SRO Commission since in theory the car was
below GT4 standards for 2009. A short list of achievements by the team of Albi Engineering thus far; four podiums, two pole positions, the fastest race lap and the Dutch GT4 track record at Zandvoort. As in this season team
Albi Engineering will be accompanied by the two experienced drivers Ferdinand Kool (Formula Ford, Formula 3) and Richard van den Berg (Dutch Supercar Challenge).
*Albi Engineering Founded in 2001, Albi Engineering is the
company of Erik Albertsma, former autosport engineer to among others current A1GP and Porsche supercup star Jeroen Bleekemolen. Albi specializes in the installation and set-up of data acquisition systems, as well as analysing the
consequent data for help with further improvement in all aspects of car handling and engine dynamics. Using Italian top supplier AIM as a base, teams assisted by Albi have claimed championships in Touring cars, single marques cups
such as Alfa 147 Challenge and single seater classes like Formula Renault
**Dutch GT4 championship: At the moment the Dutch GT4 Championship is the biggest, most popular and competitive GT4 Championship in Europe. These cars of several different brands are well-matched which leads to spectacular
battles on the track at an even playing field. The qualifying times of the top 15 cars are within one second therefore they all have a good chance competing for the top-prizes. The SRO Commission recommends this race category
highly and is proud to have this championship in their GT racing series.
