First Race of the Season
15 May 2023
The first round of the BELCAR Historic Cup didn't go as intended. The car lacked power during the whole weekend and the fastest lap was two second slower than in 2022. After the start of race 1, we were leading shortly. Unfortunately, we lost the lead quickly and had no chance to get it back. Race 2 ended early, after loss of coolant.

Preparations for the season
09 March 2023
The preparations for the new season have been delayed by supply issues of engine and gearbox parts. That's why the test session at Circuit Zolder has been postponed from March 30th to May 11th. The biggest upgrade over the winter should be the new ATB differential.
2023 Race Calendar
15 December 2022
The upcoming BHC season will feature six events on four race tracks in three countries. Five of these events will be part of the championship, but Assen will not. Thus, it's likely that we'll not race there.
Dyno test shows room for improvement
02 October 2022
After the engine rebuild and installation, we went to the dyno. The test run showed that the engine was not back to its old strength. Because of that, we decided to end the season without attending to the final BELCAR Historic Cup round at the Nürburgring. A thorough investigation of the engine will be executed over the winter.
Engine rebuild finished
15 August 2022
Since the first four races of the season ended with two podiums and two DNFs, it's necessary to improve the reliability of the Lotus Europa. To be on the safe side, the Renault 807 engine underwent a complete rebuild. This was originally planned for the winter, but had to be scheduled earlier due to the problems at Spa-Francorchamps. In addition, several electrical components were replaced.
1st Place and DNF at Spa-Francorchamps
27 June 2022
The starting position was quite bad due to a braking issue in qualifying. In race 1 we managed to finish first in class, eventhough we had trouble with loss of coolant. Weather conditions for race 2 were difficult to predict and we went for rain tires, but the track dried fast. We tried to finish without a tire change, but the alternator impeller collapsed and cut an ignition cable, which ment DNF in race 2.
First Podium in BELCAR Historic Cup
16 May 2022
The first round of BELCAR Historic Cup 2022 brought us a 2nd place in race 1. It was very close as we crossed the finish line only two seconds behind the winner. In race 2 the Lotus Europa lost power in the last corner of the last lap due to a fuel pump issue. Unfortunately, we didn't score any points for race 2, as we didn't cross the finish line.
