When the IM/e performed in Zandvoort it was being driven by the young Frisian racing driver Beitske Visser. Now the experienced Xavier Maassen had the chance to get behind the wheel. The record attempt took place during the Superprix 2017, a racing weekend involving various events at the circuit in Zolder, near Hasselt in the Limburg region of Belgium.

Maassen has been working with the team for a long time, explains spokesperson Arthur van der Werf of InMotion. “He has been involved in the project from the start, and has already completed plenty of test drives for us.” He is keen to point out that for driving tasks the team always approaches trained racing drivers. “For reasons of safety, we never drive the car ourselves, not even some twenty meters for a demonstration.”

Van der Werf hopes that an opportunity will soon arise for the team to make a record attempt at another circuit. “We would really like to have a go in Assen, and we are also considering circuits in our neighboring countries. Nothing has yet been decided, but having said that we only gained entry to the Superprix in Zolder a short time in advance.”

Eventually, with a successor to the  IM/e, InMotion hopes to participate in 2020 in the innovation class of the 24 Hours of Le Mans – which goes by the name 'Garage 56'. Every year this class offers a single car the opportunity to enter without restrictions, with the exception of the safety regulations.
