History

2013

After initially returning to the GPVWC with just a Formula Challenge team, Mike Pitman decided to boost Vod:Bul's image and range by entering a team into the World GT Series, choosing to run Chevrolet Corvettes. Pitman quickly snapped up young Dutch driver Calvin Hermse to race for the team, despite his driving for rivals Wauters in Formula Challenge. The second driver was announced just before the first race at Monza; Ghovand Keanie, who had competed in the final race of the previous season, completed an all-Dutch line up at the team.

The first race of the season showed great promise, with Keanie starting the race in 4th position. Tangled up in a first corner incident, Keanie continued to fight in the mid-top 10 throughout the race, but unfortunately lost out in the final lap due to an apparent puncture, crossing the line 8th, though still securing a valuable 8 points for the team. Hermse was less fortunate; driving with a less-favoured steering wheel, Hermse was forced off the road on the first lap and suffered damage. He eventually retired after further damage, roughly 8 laps from the end.
