Father and son clinch the 24H TCE Series European title

The Dutch pair of Ivo and Rik Breukers, father and son, clinched the TCR title within the 24H TCE Series by finishing second in class in the 12H Spa-Francorchamps, closing event of the season.
After setting pole position in Qualifying, and despite a collision with another car that dropped them to eight in the class during the early stages of the race, the Breukers drove their Red Camel-Jordans.nl SEAT León DSG for 221 laps around the 7km Belgian racetrack. They crossed the finish line one lap behind their countrymen and rivals in the title fight Gijs Bessem and Harry Hilders who won the class in their NKPP Racing by Bas Koeten Cupra DSG and finished second overall in the TCE race behind a Ginetta G55 of the SP3 class.
Eventually, Ivo and Rik Berukers were crowned champions with a margin of just four points over Bessem and Hilders.

“I was sweating all over!” said Ivo Breukers after the race. “I was very excited to finish, and I was praying everything would go well. Anything can happen, and the car had a hit in the beginning, and I’m just so happy!”

Third in the class to secure a 1-3 for Bas Koeten Racing, was the LMS Racing by Bas Koeten Racing Cupra DSG shared by the Finnish trio of Antti Buri, Olli Kangas and Kari-Pekka Laaksonen, the winners of last year’s race.
The 24H TCE Series’ last round will be the 24H COTA at Austin Texas, on 16/18 November that will award the Continents title.
