In a warm and sunny day twelve cars took part in the TCR Benelux testing days at Circuit Park Zandvoort, with twenty-two drivers taking turns at the wheel.
Five SEAT León cars were run by Delahaye Racing (1), WRT under the banner of the RACB National Team (1), Ferry Monster Autosport (1) and Bas Koeten Racing (2); Delahaye Racing (2) and WRT (1) also fielded Volkswagen Golf Gti cars, while two other VWs were run by Milo Racing (2). The Boutsen-Ginion Racing entered two Honda Civic cars.
The fastest lap of the day was set by Maxime Potty/Ronnie Latinne (WRT VW Golf) in 1:49.604, ahead of Renaud Kuppens (Boutsen-Ginion Racing Honda Civic) in 1:49.859 and Amaury Richard/Didier van Dalen (Delahaye Racing VW Golf) in 1:50.129.
In fourth, fifth and sixth positions followed the Mondron brothers (Delahaye Racing SEAT León) in 1:50.216, Sam Dejonghe/Dénis Dupont (RACB SEAT León) in 1:50.316 and Alexis van de Poele/Romain De Laval (Delahaye Racing VW Golf) in 1:50.691. A further evidence that the TCR Balance of Performance works well.
The two Volkswagen Golf cars of Milo Racing missed the afternoon session due to transmission problems, and so did Loris Hezemans’ SEAT that crashed because of a braking failure.
