Klostermann leaves, Kim Morgan enters

Michael Klostermann yesterday chose to leave the Danish Touring Car Championship Invitation-Only Class, before he even got going. Instead he will go back to the Bel-Ray Special Saloon Challenge series. Coming the other way is Kim Morgan Jensen, entering the DTC S2000 field with his BMW 320i E46.

“I received a call from Peter Elgaard of the DTC organisation,“ Kim Morgan Jensen informs the DTC Media website.

“He asked me if I would like to enter the DTC series. My plan was to drive the Special Saloon, but I might as well drive this series, as the car fits the DTC.”

The car Morgan enters has been raced in the DTC. Mike Legarth used to race it in the privateer cup, after taking it over from the WTCC team Schnitzer. Internally in the DTC championship the powerful non-S2000 cars have not proved to be very popular with the S2000 runners in the championship.

“I hope that I can get a bit more speed into the car, but apart from that my objective is quite humble. I hope to get a lot of kilometres into me and the car, and just hang on as much as I can.

Surely it will be something else, even though I have been on the grid to the other races. But once we get going, then I don’t think the difference will be as big. I honestly don’t think so.”

The DTC series starts its first race later today, sporting only three non-S2000 contestants in the Invitation-Only class: Jens Ole Mathiesen in BMW M3, and John Hansen and Martin Marrill in Seat Leon Supercopa.
