Rally Sweden
In 2010 Van Merksteijn Motorsport entered the Rally Sweden for the second time, the favorite event of father and son Van Merksteijn, where they both drove Ford Focus RS WRC cars. Later that year during the Rallye Deutschland Bernhard Ten Brinke made his WRC debut. The Dutch Champion driving the Focus with co-driver Eddy Chevaillier recorded an amazing result by finishing in 12th position overall in Trier. In Rally Sweden, Rally de Portugal and Wales Rally GB Van Merksteijn Motorsport was also present in a support role for Ipatec Racing as organizers and managers of their WRC activities.
