“Last year was our best season ever. But we wanted to step up to the next level and together with MPM we can make that happen. I’m very happy with this deal and I’m sure it will be a long-term cooperation between our team JWR Racing and MPM”, says the number four in last year’s FIA European Pro Modified Championship.

Last year was Marc Meihuizen’s best season so far. The Dutch Pro Modified-driver improved his personal best and Dutch national record to a stunning 6.05 sec and was semi-finalist in the last three races of the season. With his number four spot Meihuizen was the best Dutchman in the 2011 FIA European Pro Modified Championship. “We wanted to step up to the next level. I know Michiel van Wilgen, one of the founders and owners of MPM International Oil Company and a real dragrace fan, for almost twenty years now and arranged a meeting with him. Referring to MPM’s slogan ‘Moving things forward’ we share the same ideas about racing and the approach of our sport. The result of our meeting was that with immediate effect we will fly the MPM International Oil Company colours at the European racetracks. I’m extremely proud of this and I’m sure we’ll have a great season together”, says Marc Meihuizen.

Stunning design
MPM’s own designer Jörgen Al, is working hard at the moment to wrap the well-known ’68 Pontiac Firebird in MPM colours and as usual, Jörgen’s design looks stunning. And the MPM designer has to hurry because David Vegter’s MPM Pro Mod has to be wrapped too before the start of the new season. Although Marc and David will have their own operation, the MPM Pro Mods will look like a two-car team, one with a blue and one with a white flame job at the front.

Same crew
Joeri Woudenberg will be Marc’s crewchief again and except the brand new team-outfit the crew will be the same as it was in 2011. “Joeri is a proven winner and all the other crewmembers did a great job too last season and are very dedicated. We don’t say we will make 5.8 sec runs now or will be the new European champions, but I’m really looking forward to this season and we’ll do our very best”, says the brand new MPM-diver.
