Belgian SCT Cup Rd6 – Report

Round 6 of the Belgian SCT Cup was held at the Off-road Racing RC Torhout club. The event marked the serie’s first visit at the venue whose 250 metres long astro turf track offers both technical and flatout sections, with some tricky jumps in between that require very precise driving. Due to rainy weather in the built up to the event, the track was still wet in the morning and it took until the afternoon to dry up, making tyre choice critical. In Pro2 qualifying, Géry Ledocq (Kyosho) took the TQ by winning all three rounds while Nicolas Evens (TLR) obtained the second spot of the grid despite some mechanical issues in the final run. Tom Vercarre (TLR) and Guillaume Laffut (TeamC) fought for P3 all morning long and eventually it was Tom who rounded out the top 3 results.

Spanish National Series finale – Report

Madrid played host to the final round of the Spanish National Series. Going into the finale Javier Alonso, Marc Moix, Javi Ferrando and Carlos Ferrando all had their chance to get the title and it was Javier who set the early pace by TQing three of the qualifying rounds while Carlos locked the P2 spot on the grid after coming out fastest in the final two qualifiers. In the first main, Javier Alonso had a big crash at the beginning which let Carlos Ferrando pick up the lead and cruise to the finish line. In A2, Javier Alonso was on new tyres which gave him enough advantage to take the main easily so in the last leg, the title was at stake between Alonso and Ferrando. Both soon separated from the field and fought for the championship, which finally ended up in Carlos’ hands. The podium was completed by Javi Ferrando making a 1-2-3 for Xray.

Spashett & Farrell win at BRCA LMP12 Nationals Rd1

Last weekend saw the first round of the 2017/18 British Championship for LMP12 pan cars. The first race of the season took place at the Eastbourne track in the south of England. The club has a regular facility in a sports hall, and laid out a fantastic track on ETS carpet. The track used a mixture of hard drainpipe markers and small bot-dots on the tricky corners. The layout made for great crash-free racing, and saw the drivers unanimous in their praise for the new ‘small’ bot-dots. The Championship has three classes being contested, on Saturday all drivers compete in the 13.5 Stock class, and on Sunday drivers choose either 6.5 blinky Modified or 13.5 blinky Sports Modified.
