Last Saturday, on the 23rd of August, Van Amersfoort Racing celebrated its 50th anniversary, where a special open day event was organised. Guests from all around Europe had the unique opportunity to view VAR’s workshop up close through a tour; from the actual cars to the sims.

Partners Milwaukee, Snap-On, mCon, Girls Across The Grid NL, and Tricorp had the honour of showing their roles in autosport, where they educated the fans and gave insight to the collaboration between VAR and their company.

Tricorp assisted a great deal by taking care of the merchandise stand, as well as handling the catering. Milwaukee and Snap-On presented their tools, Girls Across The Grid NL gave insight into their community, and mCon provided sims in which the guests could experience the racing themselves.

With 400 people showing up, this day was rated as a great success. Many of the attendees have shared positive thoughts about the day with VAR in person and online, as well as shared stories - and learned new things that the general public might not know.
