Belgian Tamiya Cup Rd4 – Report

Round 4 of the Belgian Tamiya Cup was held at the Motorsport Arena in Genk this past weekend. The MRG track is located between a karting and MX track, which makes it the perfect location for petrol heads. Due to the Coronavirus measures, the drivers needed to wear masks, which made social interaction a bit strange. The race was held in perfect conditions though as most drivers were eager to rock their rides after such a long break. The fastest class of the day was Euro GT. Run with mostly TRF cars and powered by a Carson 12T combo these cars achieve similar speeds to the 13.5 class. After an absence of four years from the drivers rostrum, David Joos decided to make his comeback at this nice track of MRG Genk. Claude Gyselinck (TRF420) achieved a very popular TQ, his first TQ ever. He was followed by David Joos (TRF420), Steve Heyman (TRF419X) and the surprising Hannu Coopman who ran a TA07R. Hannu even finished a fine P2 in the opening A-main with his TA07 and grabbed a nice P4 overall in front of the unlucky Claude Gyselinck who couldn’t capitalise of his great TQ. The final victory went to David Joos, Wesley Desmet (TRF419XR), who won A3, finished in a fine P2 overall in front of Kenneth Meisters.
