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.

During the qualifications the track became drier and quicker and it was Jordy Velder who was the fastest, earning the 2 extra pole position points. In the final Jordy was able to defend the lead to take the win, and the Dutch Buggy championship, with Raijco van der Sluijs taking the runner-up spot in the 30 minute main. Jorg van Leuken completed the top 3 result while Jarno also won the Hobby class.
