TCR BENELUX : Zandvoort : 1 win and podiums!
" I'm very happy to have had the support of Honda and Boutsen Ginion Racing for this successful participation in the TCR Benelux Zandvoort event. I really enjoyed the weekend, and hope, that there will be another races I can join this season "
Norbert Michelisz
" A great experience to share the wheel with a driver like Norbert Michelisz, fast driver and nice person. We did a great job together !"
Stephane Lemeret
"Again I enjoyed very much my week end racing in the TCR Benelux ! The whole team was great and the performance was there ! Unfortunately representing the Michel Vaillant car number 13 the luck wasn't on our side this week end and small issues cost us good points and possible wins... That-s racing.... Now let's focus on the next WTCC race in Argentina and hoping to get another opportunity for sweet revenge in TCR Benelux :)"
Art Car Michel Vaillant Tiago Monteiro
" Week-end qui s’annoncait difficile après notre casse moteur, dans la fast window des essais, ce qui nous empêche de participer à la « long qualifying race ». Je suis parti en confiance pour mes courses sprint, la vitesse était vraiment au rendez-vous ce qui nous a permis de bien remonter et d’aller accorcher mon premier podium en TCR "
Benjamin Lessennes
"Difficult race weekend at Zandvoort after engine failure on Friday. I finished the week-end with a 4th place in my second race behind the wheel of the Boutsen Ginion Honda after having started from the back of the grid. Better luck next time at Zolder, 18-20 August, I hope ! "
