Belgian Electric On-road Nationals finale – Report

The Racing Club Roeselare played host for the final round of the Belgian Electric On-road nationals last weekend. The RCR track recently opened their new track and it is considered to be one of the best facilities in Europe. The flowing high speed track with technical parts was highly welcomed by all the racers who attended the season finale. In order to prepare the 2020 season, two new demo classes, 13.5 blinky Touring and 17.5 blinky FWD, were added to the normal classes of 17.5 Fun, 13.5 ETS, Modified and Formula. Thanks to these classes – and a great raffle – there was a record entry of 45 drivers. Due to the illness of his mechanic, newly crowned Belgian champion Florian Joos decided not to take part in this race and Olivier Bultynck, the current 1/10 European 13.5 champion, decided to give the new 13.5 class a go. So everyone expected Mitchell van Ess to dominate the Modified class, but while his pace on Saturday was blistering, Sunday went horribly wrong for the young Dutchman. In qualifying, Mitchell had two DNFs. Young ARC driver Liam Van de Wouwer had the fastest single lap time, but it was multi Belgian champion Steve Lambrechts running an Xray who took the TQ in front of Liam, Dimitri De Baeker (Xray) and Mitchell.
