Preseason Tests

The Preseason Tests for the first season of the Women's GT World Championship took place at Circuit Zolder in Belgium. Every team had to participate in the test sessions. One fact pointed out early on was that Jaguar and Maserati were very quick, with Simona de Silvestro setting the pace on Day 1, followed by the Maseratis of Beitske Visser and Shirley van der Lof. Day 2 saw Melanie Troxel of drag racing fame set the fastest time, with the Maseratis being more consistently at the front of the timesheets than the Jaguars.
