But meet the team of 2026:

Mauro Polderman
Dirk Van Rompuy

Mauro Polderman

Mauro Polderman is an 18-year-old talent from Knokke. At the age of 16, he made his debut in the highly competitive Euro Clio Series, where he won the Junior title in Mid-Europe. One year later, he also claimed the European Junior title, earning him a place in the RACB Talent Academy.

After making his 24H Zolder debut last year and immediately finishing on the podium in his class, Mauro is aiming even higher this year with VR Racing by NGT in the GTS title fight.

Dirk Van Rompuy

Dirk Van Rompuy is the founder of VR Racing and a true fixture at 24H Zolder. In 2026, he celebrates his 40th participation in this Belgian endurance classic, an absolute record.

With years of experience, a previous overall victory in 1982, and strong results throughout his career, Dirk brings exceptional race insight and preparation to the team. His goal is clear: to score strongly in GTS and fight for a top overall result.

Belle Pappange

Belle Rappange grew up surrounded by motorsport as the daughter of former racing driver Rob Rappange. She made her debut in the Ford Fiesta Sprint Cup and is currently making a name for herself in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Benelux.

For Belle, life often moves from the office to the racetrack and back again. With experience in a similar Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport and strong preparation for endurance racing, she becomes a valuable asset to the team.

Nicolas Guelinckx

Nicolas Guelinckx is an 18-year-old talent from Limburg with remarkable endurance experience. Despite his young age, he is already heading into his fourth 24-hour race, with previous appearances in Dubai, Barcelona, and Zolder.

His experience in long-distance races, night stints, and sustained focus makes Nicolas a strong addition to the team. At 24H Zolder, he aims to contribute to a top performance while continuing to build his path towards GT3 endurance racing.

Erik Qvick

Erik Qvick lives and breathes motorsport. The 60-year-old from Ostend has built a strong reputation both as a driver and as a race car builder, in Belgium and abroad.

As a technical force behind several of Dirk Van Rompuy’s projects and as an experienced driver, Erik is a familiar name at 24H Zolder. During his 18th participation, he brings speed, race insight, technical knowledge, and team spirit to the endurance race.
