It was Olivier Bultynck who dominated the qualification in front of Thomas Stockman and Nick Joosens. Following a rain shower the first final would be interesting but Olivier Bultynck took the lead followed by Thomas Stockman and Nick Joosens. It was sure that this race would go between these three guys and Ollie was going well with Thomas trying to follow. On lap 12 Thomas made a mistake and Ollie was gone and Nick took second place and Thomas came in as third. The second final and Olivier could control the race but on lap 9 his car broke and Thomas took the lead. Thomas took the win in front of Nick and Nicolas.

The organisers of the DHI Cup, who announced that last January was their last event, were in touch to tell us that they are back and will run both onroad and offroad together in the Stadium Arena Fyn in Odense, Denmark on the 6th to 8th of January. The international race scene has changes a lot since the first DHI-CUP back in 2001, so now they think it is also time to do something different. For the first time a big international indoor race will do both offroad and onroad on 2 different tracks, that will be 32 x 22 meters. So you will be able to compete in both classes or all classes if you like and have enough cars. They hope to have drawings of the Stadium Arena and the tracks in a couple of weeks.
