Olly Jefferies wins at Schumacher BTCC nationals Rd4

Round 4 of the Schumacher BTCC took place at the Cotswold track located on Kemble airfield. The track has proved over the past years to be a real challenge for drivers due to its high speed nature but remains the most popular track on the UK calendar. A full entry of 120 drivers booked into the event and with sunshine greeting the drivers on race day it looked to be a great event. After four rounds of qualifying Olly Jefferies was able to take TQ spot in the Open Modified class after a long battle with Elliott Harper throughout the four qualifying rounds.

Olivier Bultynck wins at rainy Belgium TC nats Rd3

The 3rd round of the Belgium Electric Touring Car Nationals took place at the track of Bierset under bad weather conditions with a lot of water on the track. After the qualifiers it was defending champion Olivier Bultynck who took the pole in front of Nicolas Delisé and Nick Joosens. Olivier had a splendid start in the first final and started to pull away from the rest. Due to the constant rain all drivers where struggling with the track conditions but Bart Van Sande, coming from 8th place on the grid, started to challenge Nick while suddenly Olivier’s car stopped, ending his final. In the meantime Nick had taken over the lead following a mistake from Bart. Paul Dejonghe was in 3rd place and he was able to hold the position until the final. This meant Nick would take the win with a happy Bart grabbing the runner-up spot in the opening A-final.

Darren Bloomfield wins at Eden Park

The 1/10th Off Road BRCA National series moved on to Eden Park Raceway, South East London for the 4th round of the highly competitive series. Whilst the 2WD championship is still relatively open, with 3 different winners from the first 3 nationals, 4WD was a different story with Neil Cragg looking to wrap up the series. The club have made a few changes to the track, removing some of the more vicious curbs and opening up new layouts, giving them opportunity to lay a fresh layout for both days. Saturday morning started sunny and dry, the racers on Yellow Minispikes for their double 3 minute practices, but the discussion was all about when the threatened rain would arrive, and we did not have to wait long, arriving midway through round 1, leaving Richard Thorpe to make the most of the opportunity to take round 1.
