European Circuit Kicks Off in August

31 Copa del Rey Mapfre in 2012 was the last time the team competed.

In less than two weeks, Bella Mente Racing will kick off its European racing circuit in Palma Mallorca for the 33rd Copa del Rey MAPFRE. For six days (August 4-9), the 72-foot Judel/Vrolijk designed Bella Mente will do battle on the Bay of Palma against four other mini maxis, including Italian entry Alegre, which is defending its 2013 class title. Following the event, the team will go on to race at the Mini Maxi Rolex World Championship in September and the Rolex Middle Sea Race in October.
