🏁No matter how busy work is, it’s essential to wind down. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 – how do you strike the right balance and blow off steam? For Maikel Abbenbroek, 𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗲𝗸, 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 (𝗕𝗢𝗬𝗦), unwinding is dirt track racing at breakneck speed.   "I started racing in 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝟭 at the start of 2023. It involves racing around oval tracks with purpose-built, open-wheeled, single-seater cars with unlimited engine capacity. I currently race about 10 times a year, mainly in the north of the Netherlands. What’s makes it special is that it’s a contact class, so you’re allowed to nudge and push the cars around you going into the turn, making it easier to pass a slower competitor. You don’t actually need any special skills, but it’s definitely an advantage not to be too afraid! The car I drive is a steel, self-built chassis surrounded by fenders with a powerful V8 engine. The engine is a rear-wheel drive, located in the middle and the driver sits behind the engine. I share this hobby with my brother and we spend a lot of time in the workshop at our parents’ house. The family supports us. Our dad helps us with preparing and painting the car. Before one race, I saw the sky turning black and during the race it started pouring with rain. Rain and clay is not a good combination for racing, and I found out the hard way. Mud and dirt were everywhere, and I got close and personal with the guardrail at least once every lap. Not much fun at the time, but I learned a lot from it. There was mud everywhere you can imagine! We had a good laugh about it in the end." 👉Whatever your discipline or experience, we encourage you to be bold, technically creative and to go beyond the trodden path.
