GT: Team Pouchelon in the Coupe de France

Team Pouchelon entered two Vipers in 2011 but has for the moment reduced the size by only entering one for Erwin France and Franck Morel. While perhaps waiting for better, according to Alexandre Pouchelon, the boss of the team. “ We are studying the possibility of fielding a second car. Either an additional Viper, or a car from another brand, why not to register in another GT category than the Coupe de France. A decision will be made in the coming weeks, he admitted to the GT Tour website. We still have great things to do with our “grandmother”, who achieved some performances during qualifying last year. Over the years, we have made it more reliable and improved its pure performance. “, he continued. The Viper, a 2006 vintage, is indeed equipped with the developments proposed by the manufacturer two years ago, particularly in terms of the V8.

On the crew side, the two well-known drivers have the experience of the team. Erwin France shared the wheel with his father Pierre-Alain last year, while Franck Morel was the driver in 2008. Franck has a good burst of speed and good experience. As for Erwin, he entered the Super Pole twice in 2011 and he has potential. There will be great competition between the two of them. We want to win the title. We will try in any case, even if we expect tough competition with new generation cars. On the other hand, we hope for this competition in order to enjoy ourselves! »
