El pasado fin de semana, se disputó la última prueba del Cto. Nacional de Bélgica 1:8 pista.
Robin D’Hondt, sumó una nueva victoria, 4ª en la temporada regular. Robin ya era matemáticamente campeón desde la 5ª prueba, en la que se clasificó en segundo lugar.

Mención especial al jovencísimo Daan Haling, que se hizo con la victoria en la categoría F2, por segunda ocasión esta temporada.

Desde Bélgica, Robin nos manda su visión de la carrera:

«The 6th and last round of the Belgian championship was also held at the track of Charleroi, the original idea was to have this race at the track of Bierset but sadly enough the track had to close its gates for an airport expansion. Friday evening we arrived there, rain was falling out of the skies. Think the gods don’t like me or so, 6 Belgian championships this year => 6 times rain on Sunday or Saturday … Great! Saturday when the track was finally dry, qualifications had to be run. So I

El pasado 5 de Octubre, se celebró la Copa de Portugal 2008 (Taça de Portugal) en la pista de Vila-Real, donde se dieron cita los mejores pilotos Lusitanos de la especialidad.

La pista, que no se encontraba en su mejor momento, se fue deteriorando paulatinamente con las series, hasta quedar llena de baches y con mucho polvo. Esto obligó  alos pilotos a extremar la precisión en su pilotaje ya que en estas condiciones, resultaba difícil manetener los coches en el trazado del «Alto Douro».

Durante las clasificatorias, Miguel Matías fue el más rápido y se hizo con la pole, seguido de Carlos Durães y Ricardo Monteiro.

Los dos pilotos, Miguel Matías y Carlos Durães, mostraron que estaban un paso por encima de sus adversarios y se postularon como principales favoritos a la victoria final.

Sin embargo, en las vueltas de calentamiento previas a la Final el recientemente proclamado campeón de Portugal 2008 rompió y no tomó la salida a tiempo. Aún

Track conditions, were hard. Bumpy and with lot of dust. Therefore all the drivers had to make an additional effort to keep the car in the track.

Miguel Matías took the TQ followed by Merlin Team Driver Carlos Durães and Ricardo Monteiro.

Both Them, Miguel Matías and Carlos Durães were the fastest during heating, showing that they were one step over rest of drivers and that they were the favorites to final victory.

Track conditions for the Main final, were still worst than in heating. In the Main Final warm-up laps, Miguel Matías broke and came back to boxes, starting too late. Spite the lost time he took place in the final, showing a big competiton spirit.

Carlos Durães completely dominated the A-Final from the first laps, being very fast and showing a consistent and regular driving.
