Professional Thai racing driver Sandy Kraokaew Stuvik has raced with B-Quik Racing since 2019. The combination of a talented driver and flawless team has garnered them 3 overall GT3 Championship victories in the Thailand Super Series. In parrallel to their professional racing program, B-Quik has also instilled this racing mentality into their employees, with the B-Quik Academy. The B-Quik Academy offers top-performing employees the chance to become a professional racing driver like Sandy.
This racing season, Sandy will use his years of experience in international motorsport to help boost the results of the B-Quik Academy drivers competing in the Toyota One-Make and Honda One-Make series respectively. The Academy’s premier candidate, Adisak Tangpuncharoen, competed in his first season of GT3 racing in 2023. Sandy had coached Adisak since 2019, when the latter competed in the Toyota Yaris One-Make series. As Adisak fulfilled his dream of becoming a successful GT3 driver, Sandy hopes to guide more B-Quik Academy drivers to their dream.
“Coaching the B-Quik Academy has been truly rewarding so far. As all candidates have mechanical backgrounds, they understand the cars functionalities and limitations well, and it is my responsibility to explain how they can extract more lap time out of their racecars. This, in combination with improving racing tactics and mentality, will be my primary directive for the B-Quik Academy this season. I’m very glad to be a part of this fantastic project by B-Quik Co, Ltd. I can’t imagine a better employee incentive program, and I look forward to the talent we can harvest in 2024!’. Says Sandy.
Sandy is honoured to be supported by The Pizza Company, B-Quik, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Jet8 Aviation, Pelican , 4F Thailand, Dacon Trading, Thaiwings Travel Agency, the Sports Authority of Thailand, and the Royal Automobile Association of Thailand.
About B-Quik Academy
The origin of the B-Quik Academy project began in 2010 with Mr. Henk Johan Kiks, CEO of B-Quik. He noticed that B-Quik employees had the ability to modify and tune his classic racing cars for competition. In 2017 B-Quik officially started the search for passionate and capable applicants to join the B-Quik Racing team as racing drivers. The project received 150 employee applications, and after two rounds of selection using go-karts and Honda Jazz racecars, four finalists were chosen. All four of them have competed in various racing events such as the Thailand Super Series, Toyota One-Make race, Honda One-Make race, and RAAT Endurance.
