Racing team crosses Netherlands US: “A dream come true”

Led by Frits van Eerd, the racing team Netherlands won the world title at the LMP2 Pro-A levels at this year’s World Tolerance Championship. That is why it is time for a new challenge, which has been discovered in the United States.

The racing team will compete in the IMSA Endurance Cup next year in the Netherlands States. With this, the Dutch team will appear next year at the start of popular races such as 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of September.

The drivers are back team owner Van Eard and former F1 driver Quito van der Garde. New to the team is young American talent Dylan Murray, who will be the mandatory silver-rated driver. During Daytona’s 24 hours, there should be four drivers in a team, which is why no one but Rinus VK will join the team that weekend.

It was a dream come true for Van Eerd. “I always say I want to race in the United States. I studied there and already participated in IMSA races at the time, so it’s really a dream come true for me that we’re going to do four big IMSA races now. Let’s get started. .It’s a wonderful experience and I’m so glad it continues now, “said Jumbo CEO.
