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. But the track was drying fast and in the Efra class it was VBC team driver Olivier Bultynck who took the TQ spot with the only 18-laps runs in front of team mate Nicolas Delisé in second and Nick Joosens in 3rd. 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.
