Lovan Winter Series Rd3 – Report

The third and penultimate round of the 2018/19 Lovan Winter Series was held this past weekend. The organisers yet again created a fast but challenging track on the huge 40x30m track surface. As always, the very liberal rules regarding tyres, motors and additive meant the competitors had to be well prepared in order to fight for the available podium spots. Entries were a bit less this time, but the field was more than competitive to provide exciting races in the five available classes of 1/12 GT and LMP, Formula and Touring Stock and Modified. The latter only saw seven entries, but among those entries were two former European Champions; Stock Touring Champion Rémi Callens and 1/8th nitro Champion Robin D’hondt. It was also interesting to notice that this class did feature the most youngsters with Liam Van de Wouwer, Athan de Witte and Florian Joos.
