For those who don’t know, racing at TRCR isn’’t easy as the local fast guys are extremely fast. Countless hours of practice results in critical knowledge of the dirt, car setup, and layout of this awesome racing facility.

Dutch Buggy Cup final round – Report

Dutch Buggy Cup final round – Report

The final round of the Dutch Buggy Cup was scheduled to be held at the MVW Astro turf race track in Purmerend. The weather forecast for Saturday was sunny and dry but rain was predicted during the night and when the drivers arrived at the track on Sunday morning the surface was damp and the temperature dropped to 16 degrees. This meant drivers were left with the choice to change to a wet setup or wait for the track to dry and use Saturday’s settings and at the end many drivers choose to only change the tyres and anti-roll bars to adapt to the damp track.
