Competition record

LFRS 97-98
Team Shark-Porsche has started with only two drivers in class A, but before the first race had even started, there were already two more drivers in other classes who voluntarily offered their services for this season. This year's car has a new design.

On 17-Nov-1997 Team Shark has released its internal performance analysis software: GP2PerfView. This free software can be found at Rene Smit's home page.
