The tragic death of Dilano van ‘t Hoff has hit the motorsport world hard, with tributes flowing from all areas. Two of those who worked in close quarters with the youngster saw a natural talent about to achieve a major breakthrough. They pay their tributes to the Dutch drivertragically lost his life in a Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine crash at SpaIn 2021, it seemed that he was a huge talent.
Ex-Red Bull and Lotus F1 junior Callan O’Keeffe now runs School of Send, a business set up to help young drivers with all off-track affairs, and the British-based South African began working with van ’t Hoff early in 2022. That pole came in Dubai, against drivers of the calibre of Marti, Arthur Leclerc, Dino Beganovic, Paul Aron, Isack Hadjar, Jak Crawford. A lot of F1 juniors there…Photo by: Dutch Photo Agency
“Dilano didn’t really need a driving coach, he needed... let’s call it a performance coach,” explains O’Keeffe. “He had an immense amount of natural ability and the thing that’s holding you back isn’t necessarily the technique – it’s the fact that you don’t have two arms. You need both arms in FRECA because they’re very physical cars to drive. Simon did an amazing job bringing Dilano back to full health after all the injuries.
“He changed a lot more in himself in the last year, and maybe the results on track weren’t reflecting where he was, and it wasn’t all down to him at all. Everyone can see his team-mates aren’t winning at the moment, but his little battle, which I try to assess at the beginning of the season, was being quicker than his team-mates.”
“We were pretty much there with it. It would stiffen up sometimes, so we always kept on top of things at the track to keep it all relaxed, and he would do his training. It was a real challenge, because trying to tell a kid to slow down a bit and have a day’s rest, he wasn’t like that. He was, ‘No, no, I’ve got to get my fitness’, and I was, ‘Listen, you need to rest and let your body recuperate a bit and then you’ll feel even stronger when you come back.
