‘Lets wait and see what we can do’ - Interview with Michiel Becx and Edwin Kuijpers of Becx TDS Racing

It’s quite an extraordinary buggy Michiel Becx and Edwin Kuijpers bring to the start of the Morocco Desert Challenge, without a doubt. Not just because it is bright neon yellow. The Mitjet is designed as a buggy for baja racing, which means it is fast – and it does look fast - , but not necessarily easy to drive. “It is not built for rally raids like this”, copilot Kuijpers admits. “Therefore we ourselves may be a bit more modest concerning the expectations.”

The Dutch duo went for a test in the Merzouga dunes the past few days ahead of the start of the Morocco Desert Challenge, where they found quite a few points to improve. “We’ll have to wait and see how good this car is”, Kuijpers says. “We aim for a top 10 position, which should be possible when nothing crazy occurs, and we’ll see what happens from then on.”
