Belgian Electric On-road Nationals Rd4 – Report

The fourth round of the Belgian Electric On-road nationals was held at the fast and flowing track of the MAC De Baanbrekers club in Rucphen this past weekend. Most drivers already arrived on Saturday for the open practices and in the Touring Stock class, Vincent Van Gansen was just 0.2 seconds shy of the track record whereas both Olivier Bultynck and Florian Joos slightly improved Florian’s 13.950 track record so Sunday’s racing promised to be exciting. Q1 of Touring Modified was a bit of a bombshell when Florian Joos smashed the track record to an astonishing 13.775 and the first 22 lapper in the history of the track. His new Xray prototype car seemed to be ideally suited for the track. Newly crowned European Stock Champion, Olivier Bultynck wasn’t far off with his Awesomatix as he too scored an amazingly fast 13.869 lap time. With new tyres, his pace over 5 minutes was a bit slower though. Mitchell Van Es, who was running his older electronics and batteries wasn’t far off, but couldn’t quite keep up on this power hungry track.

Jessica Palsson wins at Middle Swedish Cup Rd4

Round 4 of the Middle Swedish Cup was held at the Eskilstuna track last weekend. Serpent’s Pontus Larsson would take the overall TQ after coming out on top in Q2 and Q3 as Q1 winner, Jessica Palsson would snatch the runner-up spot after the 1/8th Nitro Buggy qualifiers. After the semifinals it was Jessica Palsson with the pole position for the 30-minute A-main event as Elias Johansson came in 2nd and Pontus obtained P3 on the grid after a troublesome semifinal. At the start of the main final the three pulled away from the field and had a long fight for the top, however things would spread a bit as Pontus dropped down the field by the first round of pitstops but he was able to close the gap on Jessica again when his concentration came back by about mid-race. Ultimately however it was Jessica who brought home the win as Pontus was able to secure the runner-up spot despite running out of tyres in the closing stages. A lap down it was Kristian Johansson who would round out the overall top 3 result. With his 2nd place finish Pontus was able to secure himself the Middle Swedish Cup title for 2019.

BRCA 1/10th IC Circuit Nationals Rd5 – Report

Round 5 of the BRCA 1/10th IC Circuit Nationals was held at the long standing technical and challenging Wombwell circuit in South Yorkshire. Saturday unfortunately followed the poor forecast with heavy showers and torrential rain and of the few drivers who turned up on practice day most spent time securing their gazebos and tents and waterproofing their cars or preparing their “wet car “. However a few brave drivers ventured on to the circuit with minimal success. First thing Sunday morning was grey and cloudy with a damp circuit but not raining. With rain forecast later a decent time in the early heats would be the target. 200mm Touring saw Joe Kerry (Capricorn) keep up his reputation for performance in wet conditions easily taking the FTD. Neil Wallace (Serpent ) qualified in 2nd with Matthieu Dambrine a creditable 3rd.
