BOSS GP sets first season record 2017 already before Kick Off

BOSS GP in Assen 2016.

Great news for the BOSS GP Championship season 2017: Counting 36 registrations for the season, which starts on 22nd/23rd of April at Hockenheim in Germany, as many drivers and teams as never before registered for the fastest race series in Europe.

“This is great news”, says Christian Gaense, Race-Coordinator of BOSS GP. “The registration record shows the confidence of drivers and teams in BOSS GP, the race organization as well as the changes for the 2017 season like the cooperation with our new tyre supplier Pirelli. After a new record of participants in 2016, topping the number of drivers again this year will strengthen and expand the championship once more.”

Currently running and still open until the 12nd of April is the registration for the first race of the season at the “Hockenheim Historic”. With 36 drivers registered in general for the 2017 season until beginning of April, who actually wont show up each of them at each race due to different reasons, Gaense is yet looking forward to a “top-class field at each of the races of the BOSS GP championship 2017, qualitatively as well as quantitatively. For the Hockenheim season opener we can expect a grid of ~20 cars”.
