His home circuit race on the dunes is on the calendar for August 25. “I’m fit and happy to be working with Dinamic again. We can build on the experience of last season. That is important, because the Super Cup is all about the details,” Jaap knows better than anyone.

may be a son
The veteran once again faces drivers who could easily be his sons. “Yeah, good huh. It motivates me a lot, because I’m far from finishing the race. The plan is to surprise the young people as much as possible.” The obstacle in the battle with the team drivers and the top teams is not his age, but the limited options for testing. Outside of the official test days, the number of sessions for Jaap is limited. “This means that I have to find the car settings and the tires peak during the weekend itself. But I’m ready for the challenge!”

Young Italian Francesco Braschi and Italian/Canadian Driver Aldo Festante are teammates at Dinamic Motorsport. His team has prepared a Porsche 911 in the colors of the Italian flag for the Dutchman. “Good color scheme. Then opponents can move aside immediately when they see a red nose appear in their rearview mirror,” concludes Jaap van Lagen with a wink.
