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
After a nice goodbye party in Coatzacoalcos I’m ready to leave to The Netherlands. All my luggage is packed and I will leave at 01.35 to Puebla to take the bus there to the airport. I will arrive around 12.00 in Mexico-City so that will give me some time to do some sightseeing. There are no buses that can take u there later that take me there before my flight that leaves at 20.15.
Tuesday I’m back and I will start preparing for the first race weekend at Zandvoort wednesday.
BallyGally website project is added in the projects section.
After some deep thoughts and considerations. I decided to come back to the Netherlands the 30th of March. I’m coming back to start my professional career mainly at Tachyon Motorsport. About the other activity’s I will keep your posted. The first race I will be attending will be the Paasraces in Zandvoort. After 3.5 months of relaxing I figured out that that is not what I want to do another 3 months. I want to get back an focus me as much as possible on Racing and everything that goes with that. Meanwhile In my last two weeks I travel as much as possible through Mexico to enjoy it to the fullest.
This weekend I’m in Mexico-City to visit the concert of Coldplay. Denisse and I already went to this viva la vida tour october 2008 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Now they are finally in Mexico. Denisse is a big fan so she didn’t want to miss it. It is nice to visit Mexico-City again. More news later
After an cold week in Xalapa it is time to go to Coatzacoalcos. Will I’m writing this I’m in the bus for a 6 hour trip. We where stopped 10 min ago at the toll station. A soldier came in to the bus and then the funny part starts. He wonders true the bus he looks more like somebody that lost his cellphone. Then he comes closer and looks behind me for what? “nobody knows”. Denisse reminds me if I have my passport close and then the guy asked me where I’m going?(couldn’t he ask that the bus driver he knows best) then he want to look in my bag (the only bag he checked) of course no problem lots of wires from my laptop (would look weird for me a bunch of wires) he shined his magic flashlight in it and everything was oke. He didn’t even asked where I was from! I must say America can learn a lot from this country.
During my stay in Xalapa Denisse took me too a beautifull park in the middle of the city. For those 2 hours I really thought I wass the main actor of Jurrasic Park or Avatar. I made my first small movie with this park as the subject. To view it even better check the HD option.
after experiencing some problems with my old theme I decided to give my website a new look.
I will continue working on the details.
The content is not changed so everybody can still enjoy the content. At the end the theme is just the skin.
