A long 4 day race event which didn’t match my aspectations. The whole team tried really hard to make the two racing team holland Mustangs go faster during the weekend but it didn’t work out. On Saturday Allard Kalff became first in the legend cup but not with the pace we wanted. In the last race we suffert engine damage with the nr 9 mustang driven by pieter Christiaan and Bernard van Oranje. Everybody was disappointed because we worked hard to make it happen. Enough to do before the next race. Tomorrow I fly to Mexico for a 2 week holiday nice to see my girlfriend again.

Next event will be the master series in donnington, England with the McLaren M8F driven by Michiel Campagne

For the first time in my life I went to the Brands Hatch track. A really nice track that has a lot of height differences. It is a big circuit/paddock but it feels really cozy.

I was running the McLaren M8F from Michiel Campagne. It was my first event that I had to run this car and it went ok. Of Course it takes some time to learn all the car specific tricks but a lot of it became more clear during this weekend.

During Qualifiy u could see that Michiel needed to get used to the power of his M8F again. After a small spin in the outlap his times started dropping really fast. In race one he managed to drive a flat race. The second race he overtook some cars and became 4th eventually. He managed to drive a 1.27 which was his fastest time of the weekend.

We have some minor technical things to sort out for next race which will be in Donnington 25-27 june.

The first race event for me will be Zandvoort next weekend during the Masters of formula 3.

For the first time in 4 years the shanghai athletic event has got the highest status that u can have as an athletics grand prix. For me the competition didn’t really change. I was on charge of the music in the stadium. After a good preparation the event it self Which only takes around 4 hours was not to difficult. Now I fly back to the Netherlands again to prepare to visit England for a race with the McLaren on brands hatch.

Second time to Zandvoort this year and many to come. This weekend was a weekend to forget really fast. The Morgan suffered from a crash and the Marcos had a mechanical failure which doused lots of damage. Both cars are repairable but it is gonna take some time and sweat. Wednesday I will leave to china to work for PB-Event during the shanghai diamond league grand prix, track and field

Assen always means rain! Every-time I go to Assen it is raining. This weekend I was preparing the Morgan +4S from Nico Zonneveld. The Morgan was competing in 2 race series. The national championship for historic touring cars and GT’s and the master series which is a international historic championship.

The Morgan went through some changes before this weekend. We installed a 60 liter gas tank to make sure we can finish a 90 min race without refueling. Everything went according to plan but the 90 minute race was stopped after 70 min because the race exceeded the sound levels for that day. The Morgan finished all the races without any major problems a nice start of the season.

Together with my colleagues we are preparing all the cars that are running the first NK-HTGT race in Assen.

This is the first race of the season and we are working hard to bring the cars back to war strength. A nice combination for me mechanics and engineering at the same time.

After a very long day I arrived in Zolder for a practice day. This year I will maintain 2 cars at Tachyon Motorsport, The Morgan +4s Driven by Nico Zonneveld and the Mclaren M8F driven by Michiel Camapagne.

The morgan did some really wet laps in the morning but during the afternoon session we had some small issues in the clutch or gearbox we still need to figure out what it is exactly. We will start working on this as soon as possible to be ready for the first race.

The Mclaren M8F is just fitted with a new body and Allard Kalff took it for it’s first shake down in the rain. Everything felt oke but the 750HP was a bit too much for the slippery track. Allard told that even in 5th gear he had wheel-spin on the long straight. Michiel drove a few laps in the afternoon and stepped out of the car with a big smile on his face.

No website updates after I returned so far simply because I don’t like to write posts in the middle of the night. When I returned I started working at Tachyon Motorsport right away. We had to prepare 2 Mustangs for the Dutch GT4 race at Zandvoort. After some long days we managed to get both cars to the track on time.

This season I will continue doing the data logging for both mustangs. Unfortunatly with all the bad weather and weird race situation there was not much to analyze, better luck next time.

The Cars did very well and Allard and Michiel even had their best result ever (6th position in the main race). Next event will be a practice day at Zolder, Belgium
