Many Dutch celebrities have taken part in the Circuitdag events, including Prince Bernhard and Prince Pieter-Christian of the Royal Dutch Family, former Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, and racing veteran – and Twitter annoyance – Tim Coronel.
Against Cancer’s current ambassadors include ADAC GT Masters driver Indy Dontje and World Supersport rider – and son of Dutch MotoGP legend Wil – Rob Hartog.
In addition to the Circuitdag event, Against Cancer also held many events throughout the year, such as the Winter eXperience and Kartevent held at Nijmegen, two Family Trip events to the German town of Gladbeck, and 4 VIP Day events.
The VIP Day events are held in collaboration with famous names such as Eredivise team PEC Zwolle and the FIM Superbike World Championship.
