KLWF11 - 5 days to go.... Passed by a Dutchie!

As we have had a look at the British competitors, our attention now is at the foriegn entrys, coming in at row 3, 6, 9, 12 and 18. 11 entries this year, so let's focus on mainland Europe. With the assistance of Dutch driver Ronald Claes (H277) (and wife Ursula too), we look at the Netherlands challengers

Danny van WAMELEN (H3) has been no stranger to racing over here this season. And he hasn't made the numbers up. Impressive displays on shale at King's Lynn and Mildenhall have probably brought his skills to our attention.

Could be a potential winner if he starts on row 3.

Toon SCHUT (H30)
During the 90's, Toon was one of the brightest stars in the Sport, including a 3rd place at Ringwood in 1995 and 4th at Crewe in 1993. He also won the British at King's Lynn in 1994, and the European in 2002.
One of the lowlands top drivers ever, he will be in the shake up if he's in the third row

39 Marten van der WAL

Concentrates solely on the dirt in his native Holland, he has been consistent taking a meeting final runner up spot at the most recent Blauwuis.
Might spring a few surprises, but might be too far back

45 Edwin PLOEG

Edwin seems to be one of the few shale only drivers on the continuent, keeping most of his racing to the dirt/shale of Emmen and Blauwuis, taking a win at the latter in April
Although consistent, he might fall back

47 Patrick TERSTEEG
Has been over to Arena this year for a spot of racing UK style. Has been consistent on the shale and dirt the majority of the season.
All dependent on where he starts, could be a surprise

Wim PEETERS (H124)
Son of the 2005 World Champion Willie (H24), he's proven his worth on both tarmac and shale this season. At Coventry, he was in the running for the final amongst some stars. More than capable.
Might be a bit soon for him to follow his dad, but certainly capable of it.
