Mitchel van den Brink and Bart van Heun have secured their first victory in the FIA World Baja Cup. In Greece, the duo was by far the strongest in the Can-Am in the SSV class T4.
“We are super happy with this first victory. This is a great start to the season for us.”
After five specials, Mitchel and Bart were able to reach the podium as winners in the T4 class. The 23-year-old from Harskamp finished second in the general classification behind winner Tiago Reis from Portugal.
,,It was really cool. It was a tricky rally. Both days we had to drive really focused on all the stages. One small mistake and you’re in the abyss. Luckily we didn’t experience anything,” according to the talented driver of Eurol Rallysport.
Progress on all stages
Mitchel drove the Can-Am of South Racing over the finish line as winner in the T4 class in all specials. ,,Today we improved the times again. That was also due to the ruts and the fact that there was more grip. We made progress on all the stages. Also compared to the leader. We came a little closer every time. We constantly increased the distance to number two. It is our first victory in the World Cup. We are really super happy with that. On to the next one,” according to an enthusiastic Mitchel van den Brink from Greece.
