Crazy raceweekend! Interesting for sure, racing an oval in the rain…….
First training felt some pace in the rain, but had to stop after a few laps, because of the window fogging up so badly I was driving blind. Made some changes to help with that, and thankfully were able to finish all the races.
Eurocup we got a decent result coming in third in class/ 5th overall, our suspension setup of was just a tad to aggressive for the rain unfortunately. Team stepped up improved the setup a lot and we had to more great wet races.
Final race was in the dry and again team hustled to go back to the dry setup and slick tires. Car was flying, super strong and same pace as the leader. Was able to fight the lefthanders for P2 overall, but than unfortunately suffered a puncture in the right front tire, causing a very nasty virbration, and dropping is all the way back down to P8. This was very disappointing, but that’s also racing, and still proud of the team for switching setups so quick and making the fight possible!
Consider it a good thing to be able to be sad with P2!

October 25th we fight one more time, and hope to bring home the title!

Thanks for making this possible!:

Worldcup weekend was crazy!

First training and race were great on the new suspension setup, but unfortunately we had a left rear puncture during the first race, so did not score any points…

The best race we had was in the rain staying ahead of most of the lefthanders. Rik Maessen was to fast for us, but when he made a little mistake or got caught with traffic we could keep up, trying to battle for the win. We finished 2nd overall which was our best result so far, but got a 2 place penalty, because I did not hear race control when they told me to switch positions with someone during the starting procedure…

Because of the good results 2nd race and final we won event nr 1

2nd event we struggled a lot on tires, loooooaaaads of understeer. Tried to fix that with other tires, but that made it 10 times worse. Because of a huge vibration in the front left tire, the car would not turn at all.

Than less than an hour before the final, we discovered a cracked brake rotor, but with the help of Henk Hansen and Marcel we got it fixed in time, and with a set of good tires we were flying again, passing a lot of cars, and snatching the event win by just 1 point!

Another big help was that now finally our radio problems seem sorted, and for once I had a spotter in my ears for the full race, making it able for me to move back up into the racing line in corners instead of waiting until the straights after an overtake which saves a lot of speed.

Small crew this weekend, but big results! Great team effort again!

Big thanks to the team and our partners!
