Review BRV Racing – DSMEC Truck Grand Prix

BRV Racing took part in the DSMEC meeting, organized within the framework of the Truck Grand Prix last weekend at Zolder. For this event the VW Golf was prepared for Bruno Vermeeren.

The qualifying was managed in humid conditions on slick tyres and 16” wheels.

Bruno about the qualifying session: “We managed a lap of 1:57.677 in these conditions. For the race on Sunday we decided to buy 15” wheels to avoid the problems we have with the 16” sized wheels (I was not able to reach 5th gear) and to manage better lap times.”

Bruno had a restrained start of the race with his 15” wheels.

“It was strange to drive with a manual gearbox, 190bhp, standard brakes and a harder suspension, which in fact gave me no advantage, again. I was driving in 10th position at half race but the car refused to start after the refuelling. Our mechanics pushed the VW Golf but this is forbidden so we got a stop and go penalty. I kept a good rhythm again to finish the second half of the race and I managed to drive similar lap times to my personal best in the Sprinters Cup. At 3 laps from the end of the race I had to deal with gearbox problems. Luckily I was able to bring the car to the finish using 3rd and 4th gear!” Bruno concluded.
