Pedro Rombouts wins Rd3 of Dutch Nationals

Last weekend saw the 3rd round of the Dutch 1/10th Nationals held at the Rucphen track. With a disappointingly low turnout it was round 2 winner Julius Kolff (Serpent) who would take the TQ spot with his first run of the day and while other drivers improved their times throughout the day, they couldn’t beat his original time. The first 10 minutes of the main saw a good battle between Julius and Pedro Rombouts (Xray), the pairing running closely with Pedro taking the lead after a quicker first fuel stop before the battle continued. Unfortunately Julius ran into engine troubles and lost 2 laps before getting back on track still in 2nd. The battle for 3rd was between Roy Bakker (Capricorn) and Ruud Schuitmaker (Edam) with the positions changing due to pit stops but eventually Schuitmaker would have a an issue 2 minutes from the end which would end his race. The final order was Rombouts taking the win ahead of Kolff in 2nd and Bakker 3rd.
