Besides testing for Benetton Jos also has talks with Zakspeed. Both sides are seriously interested in a drive for Jos this year in one of the two Porsche GT1-98 cars that are being serviced by Zakspeed. Besides Zakspeed Porsche itself also has two GT1-98's that are being serviced by the factory in Stuttgart. Zakspeed drives with Michelin tyres and Porsche drives with Pirelli's. The first race in this class that doesn't count for the World Championship is on April 12 in Oschersleben.
