Jost wins Rd6 as Mullink takes Dutch BL-Cup title

Jost wins Rd6 as Mullik takes Dutch BL-Cup title

The 6th and final round of the Dutch BL-Cup was again held at the Euregio circuit in Hengelo, this time as a combined event with the German BL-Cup, raising the number of entries and making for good competition. The Euregio track pleased the drivers with a new feature called the Carrera twister which was a nice addition. After the qualifiers Bart grabbed the TQ followed by runner-up Lucas Jost. In the semifinals it was again Bart who came out fastest to put his buggy on the pole position for the main final. Right from the start Bart was leading the pack but he wasn’t able to pull away and so he was closely followed by Lucas who in turn had to defend himself. On lap 3 the leader made a mistake and he fell back to 5th place and Bart managed to get back into the 3 spot only to retire later due to a problem on his buggy. Up front Lucas managed to retain the lead and to take the win from Sascha Gehring and Anne Strom in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Overall and despite the DNF Bart Mullink took the 2015 Dutch BL-Cup title.

Thanks to Oscar Koot for the report.
