Belgian SCT Cup Rd4 – Report

Round 4 of the Belgian SCT Cup was held in the middle of a park in Enghien as part of the biggest RC exhibition of the country. The Buggy Tournai Racing Club laid out a nice temporary tack but due to the weather, practice on Saturday would be limited. On Sunday it took the first two qualification rounds for the track to dry up completely, making car setup and tyre choice a bit complex and spicing up the race. In the Pro2 class, Nicolas Evens (TLR) dominated and won all rounds. In the first round, Géry Ledocq (Kyosho) followed in 2nd in some distance, struggling with car setup. Tom Vercarre (TLR) was in full swing again and took a nice 3rd spot, a result he would only improve in the second and third round by taking 2nd places, securing himself the P2 spot on the grid. Géry’s struggles continued in the second round where he finished 3rd while he broke his truck in the final qualifier, however he still took P3 for the finals.
