Racing Team Nederland towards the 2018-2019 Super-Season

Recognizable by its very showy yellow livery, the Dallara P217 of Racing Team Nederland debuted in ELMS this year, led in particular by Frits van Eerd. With Rubens Barrichello and Jan Lammers, the trio also lined up at the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing 13th in the race.

2018 will mark a new stage for the Dutch structure with the expected transition to WEC. Still with the Dallara P217, Frits van Eerd's team will face regulars in the LM P2 peloton at world level.

« I am very proud that we are taking this big, ambitious step after our first year, says van Eerd. With our participation in the World Championship, the Netherlands is represented at the highest level of sports car racing. »

It will be the first time since the revival of the WEC in 2012 that a Dutch team will be at the start, with its debut planned at Spa on May 5. However, no driver has yet been confirmed to compete in LM P2.
