When Toni Seiler returns from the summer break in his native Switzerland for the fourth race weekend of the ADAC GT Masters season (Nürburgring, 2nd - 4th August), he will have a new co-driver for his yellow Corvette Z06.R GT3 (Callaway Competition). The longest-serving contestant in the series will be joined by ex-DTM driver Jeroen Bleekemolen from the Netherlands, who earlier this year won the ADAC Zurich 24-hour race.

For 31-year-old Bleekemolen, who has now made his home in Monaco, this will be the first time he has driven a Callaway Competition Corvette Z06.R GT3 in the ADAC GT Masters; he has previously contested the series on six occasions in either a Lamborghini or a Porsche and has one pole position to his credit (Nürburgring 2007). Last year, Bleekemolen put in a guest appearance in his home race at Zandvoort, sharing the third podium spot with Porsche co-driver Robert Renauer.

Toni Seiler will be hoping that Bleekemolen can help him secure his first win of the 2013 campaign in the Gentlemen stakes; in the last six ADAC GT Masters races, the two-time amateur champion has managed only two third-place podiums in the Gentlemen classification. Bleekemolen will be Seiler's third team-mate of the current season; the 55-year-old has previously partnered Niclas Kentenich and Gerhard Tweraser.
