Spyker confirms: Spyker vs. F-16 fighter jet

"As GPUpdate.net revealed exclusively earlier this month Spyker Formula 1 driver Christijan Albers will race a F-16 fighter jet the team revealed today. The event will take place at the Royal Netherlands air force base Volkel on Friday afternoon.

The Spyker team holds historical ties with the Royal Netherlands Air Force; back in 1913, the first commander of the air force drove a Spyker car and from 1915 the air force flew seven Farman F22 planes, built under licence by Spyker. Today Spyker still uses air force concepts to build its GT cars, known as the Spyker Squadron. The logo of Spyker also holds an air plane propeller.

A select group of guests are invited to the event at the Volkel air force base; principally partners and guests of the Spyker team, potential recruits for the air force and representatives of educational institutions. Together with these guests a small number of people have won tickets for the event through various media outlets.

GPUpdate.net will cover the event on Friday with photos and news from the airforce base."
