D'Hondt & Sanza win at Belgian Nitro On-road opener

This past Sunday the first round of the Belgian 1/8th and 1/10th Nitro On-road Championship was held at the track of Bierset. The qualifiers and finals were run in difficult track conditions due to rain in the morning and early afternoon. In the 1/8th class Robin D’Hondt took the pole with his new BMT. He confirmed his good performance in the dry final where he found himself in last position at first, following a crash in the first corner. With smooth but fast driving Robin moved his way up into the lead again before the first pit stop and he then maintained a high pace to take the win. Local young talent Augustin Mejor (Mugen), in his first year in the 1/8th class, demonstrated his skills and ended the main final in 2nd position. Hugues Yerna (Capricorn) completed the podium in 3rd.

Alberta Touring Series Rd2 – Report

Alberta Touring Series Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the Alberta Touring Series was held in Edmonton, Alberta. The NASCAR club hosted a great event with 121 entries across six classes. The focus of this new series would be to have fun, keep rules to a minimum, save budget conscious racers some money with less travel and create a friendly provincial rivalry so the format for the weekend would be three qualifiers and triple mains for everyone. In the Touring Car Modified Class, TQ Wayne Mah (Awesomatix) would win all three of his mains in dominating fashion over Steve Soon (Serpent), with Tommy Tam (Yokomo) taking 3rd.

FBA Belgian Touring Car Championship Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the FBA Belgian Championship was held in Zarren at the RTI/Lovan club who hosted the race on a big indoor track. In the Touring Car Modified class it was last year’s winner Olivier Bultynck who took TQ in front of up and coming Mitchel Van Es. Nick Joosens grabbed the 3rd spot on the grid while a not-so-happy Nicolas Delisé ended the qualifiers on the 4th spot. The opening A-main saw Olivier having a splendid start and while the remainder of the field tried to follow him, a fight arose between Nick and Mitchel that ended in a coming together which allowed Nicolas to slip into 2nd place. Meanwhile Olivier was up and away and he took the win by almost 6 seconds. Further down the field Nicolas was under big pressure from Nick but managed to take 2nd place.
