Who actually likes these gender posts? Gender as the justification for anything. As a woman, that offends me, sorry. Please measure me by performance. It's about sport. About success. That should be valued. I want maximum performance. I want to win. That's what it's all about.

Wie de media volgt, krijgt de indruk dat Vooruit de enige politieke partij in Vlaanderen is. Terwijl ik niet uitsluit dat er twee bestaan of mogelijk nog meer.

Just after 3AM, and having led at 6 & 12 hours to score points towards the Michelin Endurance Cup (IMEC), #70 headed behind the wall and back into the garage with a broken suspension component. The team have officially retired from the 63rd edition of the #Rolex24.

We were leading GTD at the 6 and 12 hour mark, however a right front suspension failure saw us redraw from the Daytona 24 Hours. Very proud of the effort of all our team members.
