Belgian Electric On-road Nationals Rd6 – Report

The 6th round of the Belgian Electric On-road Nationals was held at the MRG Genk track in challenging weather conditions. On Saturday it was raining cats and dogs while on Sunday the rain had stopped and with the track was still being wet qualification was a bit difficult at first.

To no ones surprise it was Ollie who took the lead in the opening A-main and he kept it till the end, even struggling with a bad rear tyre could not hold him from winning. A bad start of Nicolas ruined his first final while Nick was in second place behind Olivier. Mitchell Van Es did everything he could to catch Nick but he had to settle for third.

Niclas Manson wins at Swedish Summer Cup Rd4

Round four of the Swedish Summer Cup was held at the Västerort astro turf track in superb weather conditions. In the 2WD class the Team Associated duo of Niclas Mansson and Mattias Fransson came in 1st and 2nd after the qualifiers with young Elias Johansson (Serpent) rounding out the top 3. The opening A-main then saw a battle of the top 3 with Niclas and Mattias ending the leg separated by only around half a second. Elias came in 3rd some four seconds down. In the second A-main Elias pushed a bit more and he even was in the lead for some time but he had to make way foe Mattias Fransson while leg one winner Niclas only came in fourth place. The third and decisive main was a pretty entertaining affair with some changes up front and it was ultimately Niclas Mansson who took the win and with it the overall victory. Elias came in 2nd to seal an overall third place while Mattias’ fourth place handed him the runner-up spot.
