The yellow-blue
Mini Modified tractor called “Power Made Lambada” from the Lambada Pulling Team from Zwolle in the Netherlands will return to Europe for the 2026 season. After its only
appearance on European soil at Europe’s largest tractor pulling event in Made,
Netherlands, last year, the Mini was shipped by the Dingerinks to the USA, where the team competed at the National Tractor Pulling Championships in
Bowling Green, Ohio, and promoted Europe’s largest tractor pulling event
(Made’s Powerweekend).
There,
driver Wim Dingerink secured a 8th and an 14th place finish in a field of over 50 competitors. Following its
appearance in Bowling Green, Ohio, last August, the yellow-blue Mini
sponsored by Made’s Powerweekend is returning to the Netherlands to join the
Lambada Pulling Team.
There, the tractor will be prepared for the 2026 season,
and the Lambada Pulling Team will compete with the Power Made Lambada at five
events across Europe from late April through mid-June.
The Lambada
Team will compete with the Mini in Füchtorf, Langedijk, Loerbeek, Stroe, and
Made. After the five events on European soil, the tractor will then be shipped
back to the USA at the end of June, where the Lambada Pulling Team, with the
support of Made’s Powerweekend, will participate in two events in August. The
first stop for the Power Made Lambada, built with a supercharged BAE V8 Hemi
race engine and supported by Boyd Performance, will be the Hillsboro Charity
Pull in Hillsboro, Wisconsin.
The 2026
tour will once again conclude with the National Tractor Pulling Championships
in Bowling Green, Ohio. The team led by Wim and Gert Dingerink is hoping for
another successful outing in the Mini Modified class in Bowling Green, Ohio,
with the Power Made Lambada. The Lambada Pulling Team has also entered the
Power Made Lambada at the last minute for the Dutch Championship as well as the
Euro Cup.
As in the
previous year, the team will once again be supported in 2026 by its sponsors
Made's Powerweekend, Inter-Techno, Toplenzen, and Boyd Performance.
