D’Hondt is Belgian 1/8th scale Champion

More news from Belgium, this time its Serpent reporting that their team driver Robin D’Hondt has clinched the 2007 1/8th scale Belgian National Championship with a calculated drive to 2nd place in the final round at Roeselare over the weekend. The current Benelux Champion qualified 2nd for the event behind outgoing Champion Steven Cuypers making it an all Serpent front row and making the most of his TQ position Cuypers, the winner of Round 3, led the final well into the second half of the race before an engine flame out ended a great drive. This allowed Ilia van Gastel into the lead and D’Hondt, who had won round 1, 4 and 5 of the Championship, into 2nd spot which was enough for him to become National Champion.
