Belgian SCT Cup Rd2 – Report

Round 2 of the Belgian SCT Cup was held at the astroturf track of the BPT club on a technical yet fun layout. As usual the event was run very smoothly and due to the track being in the shadow in the early hours of the day the qualifying started with a wet and slippery surface but from round 2 on the grip came up, making for ideal racing conditions. In Pro2 qualifying Nicolas Evens (TLR) swept all three qualification rounds to take the TQ from Philippe Hautecoeur who put his mid motor converted Team Associated truck on the 2 spot for the finals. Behind the two ten drivers were covered by only 5 points meaning that getting into the A-final was not an easy task. At the end Laurent Halluin (Team Associated) would end up in 3rd place ahead of Pascal Bouffioux (Team Associated).
