Mampaey: “First of all, it is nine years since we were on track there last time. In 2011 we did a test with the BMW Z4 GT3 there so going back there nine years later with the DTM car was great. The track was damp in the beginning but when it was possible to put the slicks on, I went down to Eau Rouge and shot a couple of videos of how the car went flat out through it, I think from as early as lap three onwards and that was very spectacular. The car with the downforce and lots of power as we have now in DTM, that’s fantastic around that track. I really enjoyed it. I also had three or four other spots where I could go to and watch the car going through the fast sequences of the circuit. With the high mileage we did it was a successful test and we are looking forward to racing there. It will probably not be so easy, I think following each other, DRS and Push-to-Pass will also have a big influence, so the test was important to prepare the event as well as possible. And from an emotional point of view it is always nice to be back there, having memories from a very young age and now seeing the DTM car there.”
