Maarten van Lierop takes Rd5 in Holland

The fifth round of the Dutch 1/10th scale Nationals took place last weekend at the MACH track in Heemstede, just 1 week after the 4th round, which was run in Groningen. Qualifying went Daan Jacobs’ way and was 3 seconds clear of Maarten van Lierop, with series leader Pedro Rombouts taking the 3rd spot. In the final it was an exciting battle at the front with Daan and Maarten battling it out in the early part of the race, with Maarten eventually able to pull a gap. With the gap increasing at the front, Daan was also able to pull a gap on Pedro, who was in 3rd and that was how it stayed till the end. It is now close for the championship with Pedro still leading the series race. In the Nomac class it was Davy Geraets on pole position, but it was Marc Meijer who took the win from Davy in 2nd and Michael Behnert in 3rd. In the 1/8th Promo class Luigi Pili took the TQ spot and could convert it into the win from John Rusman in 2nd and Frank van Delft in 3rd.
