Sidney Blokker wins Touring Modified at Dutch Nats Rd5

Round 5 of the Dutch Electric On-road Nationals was held at the technical track of Deventer. The small track offers plenty of grip but also high kerbs which would play a major role in the race. The premier Touring Modified class is run according to EFRA rules and only a single set of Volante 36R tyres is allowed for the entire race. In Q1 and on new tyres, Mitchell Van Es (Awesomatix) took P1 in front of Florian Joos (Tamiya) and Sidney Blokker (Yokomo). Then Florian managed to win Q2 thanks to an error from Mitchell in the last lap but Mitchell stroke back and won Q3 in front of Sidney and Florian. This meant Mitchell would take P1 on the grid in front of Florian, Sidney, Rick van den Akker (Xray) and Niek Middelkoop (Xray).
