Friday night I had to make a tour to pick-up all the necessary spare parts for the weekend. During the Friday free practice some parts broke down and needed to be arranged last minute. Wout and I drove from Soest to Venlo to Lananken (BEL) to Hockenheim it was a long trip even with a fast car like the Volvo 850 T5-R.
This weekend I will be at the “In memory of Jim clark” event at the Hockenheimring. This weekend will be the start of the 2009 NK HTGT (dutch championship for historic touring-cars and GT’s) season. Tachyon Motorsport brought 6 cars to compete in this event. For me it is the first time to visit the Hockenheimring. Last 2 years Tachyon went with les cars and my services where not required. To get more information u can visit the official website of the “In memory of Jim Clark”. Want to know more about the history of Jim Clark Wiki.
After having 2 offers to graduate I made the right decision (I think ) to work for CPM Europe B.V.
I started since 6 April and I will be working here till 31 July.

Monday is the big day for the Paasraces (easter races) in Zandvoort. All the people from the team arrived early for the Easter traditional breakfast. Only without butter this was not really traditional (we still don’t know what happened with the butter we are still looking for it). After breakfast Allard prepared for his 25min race.
Michiel and Allard both did there qualifying session. Michiel had to drive against all the pro’s as a gentleman. Ofcourse this was a battle not to be won. He positioned himself at the back of the grid.
The dutch GT-4 season is finally on its way. Today we did a lot of fine tuning of all the components on the car. Both michiel and allard did some good lap times. Tomorrow morning there will be a qualifying session and then we know where we stand
Last Sunday I made a interior together with Denisse for all the radio equipment that we have to use for the GT4 Ford Mustang. Now that everything has its own place we don’t need to worry about that the rest of the season. Monday there will be a shake down test at Zandvoort to check if all new electronic systems will work and ofcourse how the car is running.
