Hans's first season racing with the FISC Spridgets was 1999 and he came back for more in 2000.
He built his own car with help from Koen Weerheijm. (see below) & got his Dutch racing licence by attending the racing school at Assen.
His first ever race was Croix-En-Ternois in 1999 with the FISC cars. He had a good clean battle with Dave Grove at Spa & was shown the ropes at the Nordschleife by Carel Küthe.
The next race, Croft (UK ) didn't go too well. The free practice on Friday was fine & the car was going well. Unfortunately the officials wouldn't let Hans race over the weekend because He didn't have a licence valid for "Europe" , just Holland.
Maybe the UK officals attitude will change when Britain finally joins the EU !!
2002 is Hans' fourth season with FISC, the target is a better handling car, and a lot of fun, good clean battles, fewer technical problems, beer, wine and Willems good food.
Hans is regularly accompanied to the races by his wife.
