Wiet Huidekoper

Louis "Wiet" Huidekoper (Bussum, 29 October 1953 - Purmerend, 7 January 2023) was a Dutch racecar designer and former technical director for the Opel DTM programme.

Following his study at the Delft University of Technology Huidekoper worked at Fokker, the Dutch aircraft manufacturer.

The car was driven by Nick Adams (GB) and Fermin Velez (E) and they won the World Championship for C2 that year.

[3] In April 1992 in a meeting chaired by Bernie Ecclestone it was decided that 1992 was to be the last season for the Group-C category and the World Sportscar Championship.

For 1993 Huidekoper designed the Vector Formula Fords, which raced first on the continent of Europe and in the USA in FF1600, FF2000 and FF-Zetec form.

Huidekoper joined Porsche in 1994 for their efforts in that year's edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, competing with the Dauer-Porsche 962LM.

For 2002 the cars were converted back to take the Judd V10 engine and continued to compete successfully in all major Sportscar Championships until 2005.

In October 2002 Volker Strycek appointed Huidekoper technical director of Opel Performance Center.
