Marc Basseng

Marc Basseng is an experienced sports car racer with a successful career that has revolved around the Porsche brand. Born in 1978 in Engelskirchen, Germany, he started out in karts before moving up the Porsche Junior Team in the Porsche Supercup where at the age of just 19 he collected his first pole position and podium finishes on his debut year. After becoming Renault Clio V6 Cup Junior Champion contested the VLN-and the wins came rolling in: 2 in 2004, 4 in 2005, and 5 in 2006. That last year was significant too as Marc made the journey across the Atlantic for the first time to contest the Daytona 24 Hrs where he finished in an excellent 5th. 2006 also saw him guesting in the Porsche Carrera Cup, and joining up with the Belcar series where he tasted victory. Last year Marc had his most rewarding racing season to date: winning the GT class at the Daytona 24 Hours, claiming a Le Mans Series victory, five more wins in the VLN and climbing onto the podium of the Nürburgring 24 Hrs, as well as catching the eye in the FIA GT Championship.
Marc is oficial driver of one of the fastest Porsche RSR, the Land Porsche in Germany.

NICKY PASTORELLI

Nicky Pastorelli

Nicky comes to the arena of sportscar racing from background in single seaters. The 24-year-old from Rijswijk in The Netherlands followed the well-trodden path taken by young drivers of karting and Formula Renault before he firmly marked himself out as a future star by winning the Euro F3000 Championship. Thrust into the international limelight, his F3000 pace and ability led to a test with the Minardi F1 Team, and he was swiftly signed as official Jordan F1 test driver in 2005. In 2006 he followed another traditional path as he made the break into the Champ Car series with Rocketsports Racing, as well as being the official third driver for Midland F1. Nicky had by now caught the eye of Ron Meixner who has always supported young talent, and he was offered the opportunity to drive the VICI Racing Porsche-Fabcar in the 24 Hours of Daytona. A modern, consummately professional racing driver, Nicky is fast, smooth and blisteringly quick, and a sure sportscar star of the future.
