Wesley van Helmond doubles at Race Real Dirt!

Last weekend MAC Vlijmen in the Netherlands hosted the event ‘Race real dirt!’, a three-day event opening with a day of open practice followed by a day of 2wd buggys and a day of 4wd buggys. As the event name suggests it was driven on dirt and the track crew did an amazing job by laying down an awesome clay track. The layout was a good mix of fast and tight corners and jumps, which made for good and close racing. Saturday there was a possibility for free practice to get the right setup and get a feel for the track. During the day the track grooved up, so the grip was right on point for the actual race. On Sunday in 2wd, after 4 rounds of qualifying Wesley van Helmond from the Netherlands took the TQ spot by taking 3 of 4 rounds, followed by Bruno Heremans from Belgium and Paul Dijkstra also from the Netherlands. During the first final, it was immediately clear that the battle for the win would be between Wesley and Bruno. Although Bruno took over the lead a couple of times during the finals, it was Wesley finishing first in all three finals that took the win. Bruno took second place with the best of the rest Tom van Drunen, who was able to squeeze himself between Wesley and Bruno in the last final securing the third spot.
