Lovan Winter Series Rd2 – Report

The second round of the Lovan Winter Series was held over the weekend just before Christmas. The club did the utmost to make a flowing but technical track on the 35x18m surface they had available. The race attracted a massive 104 entries and had the honour of being the biggest electric RC car race of 2018 in Belgium. The quality of the field was also quite high, with no less than seven national champions, four multiple national champions, three ETS/EOS A-main finalists and three European champions. Five classes were run, separated between Formula, 1/12 GT and LMP, and touring Stock and Modified. Touring Stock was the biggest class with 58 drivers, probably thanks to the liberal rules, which allowed every 13.5 motor, blinky speed controller and rubber tyres with a hardness of at least 26 shore. The race format was the same as for round 1, three free practice rounds without reseeding, four qualifiers of which the fastest one would count to determine the grid and triple finals for everyone.
