Who are we

The official formation of Road Race Travel took place in October 1999. Jaap Keijer, Johan van Dalen and Richard Kolsters have joined forces during the RAI engine to organize something for the joint visit of motorcycle races.

The reason for this meeting was that the driving force behind Road Racing Express, Mr. Bart Tuenter suddenly died on January 7, 1999. That year it was also not possible to visit the races with an organized trip. There was a void for organizing this kind of travel. For the real racing enthusiast that was a big loss. Over the years we had all built up a large circle of acquaintances and there was still a demand for the continuation of such an organization.

After the development of the plan, Road Race Travel was founded notarially in December 1999 and registered with the Chamber of Commerce in January 2000. With good courage we started our new hobby. Over the years, Jaap and Johan have stopped working. Only Richard Kolsters is left of the founders. After stopping Jaap Richard van Arum has joined the board.

Because we have no income from the whole, we are able to use reasonable prices. Quality and service are of paramount importance to us. We therefore always reserve the best grandstands and best (more expensive) hotels. This is therefore preferred over quantity and nice sales talks. Advice is given completely free 7 days a week.

We have set up a web shop for mainly entrance tickets. Here you can find all entrance tickets for the races. In the future we want to expand the webshop with multiple services.

Because of our daily activities, we are not always available at all times. For this we ask for your understanding. It is however possible to always reach one of us both during a trip. In general, it is best to contact us in the evening after 7 pm or during the weekend. If you do not hear, you can leave a message on the telephone answering machine or voicemail. Of course you can try again at a later time or we will call you back.

We prefer to provide an excellent service than we sell nice talks.

Then we would like to briefly introduce ourselves to you:

Richard Kolsters is living in Best and has been visiting motorcycle racing both in the Netherlands and abroad since 1990. After seeing the Dutch TT he was immediately sold to motorsport. In addition to motorcycling (Yamaha R1), sheep drifting with his Border Collies Scott and Flinn and photography is his biggest hobby. In daily life he has a management position at a powder coating company in Eindhoven. In Best you will find the administration and organization.

Richard van Arum is living in Driebergen and has been visiting all kinds of competitions since 1970 where motorbikes are driven. Motorsport is a real addiction for him and he visits a race every weekend if possible. Whether it's a GP, Superbike, ONK or motocross. He visits these matches mainly on his favorite motor Ducati. The combination of Road Race Travel and motor racing visits is his biggest hobby. In daily life he works at a reputable car company in Bilthoven.

We try to provide you with the best possible service and are therefore available for you 7 days a week.
