But it was at the wheel of a Ford Fiesta Super 2000 that Kuipers made his mark on the world stage when he finished ninth overall on Rally of Turkey in 2010 to open his point-scoring account. He contested a further seven events in the car and just missed out on a top 10 finish on RallyRACC-Rally de Espana, ending the season 19th in the final drivers’ classification.
Co-driven by the experienced Belgian Frederic Miclotte, Kuipers contested 11 rounds of the WRC in 2011 and claimed a career-best fifth overall in France.
