DVB RACING as official team in 2015 with works support from KTM

For DVB RACING the 2015 season bodes well. The Willebroek based team acquired two brand new KTM X-BOW RR and as official KTM team will also receive the official support from the Austrian manufacturer. In addition DVB RACING will also be able to count on a professional driver who will act as coach and support the drivers during the race weekends.


DVB RACING, last season title defenders in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Benelux with Jeffrey Van Hooydonk and Koen Wauters, was also in action in the BRCC with the KTM X- BOW Clubsport and the Thems Racing Ferrari 458 Challenge. The team have largely completed their homework and will be able to offer their clients a highly competitive and budget friendly service for the coming season.


Frank Thuriaux: “We have acquired two brand new and specially evolved KTM X-BOW RR for DVB RACING and these will be highly competitive. The priority will be focussed on the Supercar Challenge in the GTB division, and these cars should be in contention to win races or at least clinch a podium place on each circuit in this division.


Eight weekends of two races each is the perfect format. In the final round of the BRCC held during the Belgian Masters at Circuit Zolder a KTM recorded a lap time of 1’36”. This new car, developing 360 bhp for 810 kg and with improved aerodynamics, brakes and suspension is definitely faster.


There is official support from Austria and should they so wish drivers and potential drivers can receive coaching from a professional driver, whose name will be revealed shortly. Ideally the car also lends itself to track days and taxi runs with sponsors and is extremely budget friendly.


This offers drivers an additional opportunity to prepare fully and to clock up additional mileage during the season. We are presently on the look-out not only for young talented drivers, but also gentlemen and professional drivers”.


In the past DVB RACING was active on various fronts and in 2015 nothing will change.


“It goes without saying that the KTM car lends itself to other championships also”, Frank Thuriaux continued. “Notwithstanding that the Supercar Challenge remains our priority, both cars would be perfectly legible to compete in the two Belcar events that Circuit Zolder is organising next season.


And seeing that such cars as the Porsche GT3 Cup and Ferrari 458 Challenge will be taking on a leading role, the KTM will also be in a position to compete up front. In addition DVB RACING also has two Porsches at their disposal, the 997 Cup and the 991 Cup, which will under normal conditions once again be entered for the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Benelux.


In this event Jeffrey Van Hooydonk and Koen Wauters finished respectively second and third, whilst one year earlier we won the title,” a highly enthusiastic Frank Thuriaux concluded.


DVB RACING is impatiently awaiting the arrival of the two new KTM machines, which will then immediately be put to the test and fully prepared for the 2015 season.
