Kevin Demaerschalk: “I am very pleased to participate in the last 4 BRC events of 2018 with Lara Vanneste at my side. Obviously I’m looking forward to discover the C3 R5 which is even more powerfull than the DS3 R5 and with which we are really able to fight for the podium. There is a lot of competition in the Belgian league and several teams have a chance at victory, this makes the championship even more fascinating.”

Lara Vanneste: “After a few years of absence from the Belgian rally scene, I am enthousiastic to be back. Driving with Kevin is new for me, but after a practice session at the Condroz Rally last year, I knew that Kevin and I will be a good team. Kevin has shown several times during the past years that he has the talent and intelligence to win."

Leon ten Hove, marketing manager Kroon-Oil: “In the recent years Kevin has proven to have a lot of talent and speed. With this talented driver, experienced co-pilot and a car that awaits a promising introduction, we expect to be a strong contender. We are therefore looking forward to the events where Kevin and Lara will appear at the scene of the action.”
