Last Sunday took place the first round of WinterChamps managed by Robitronic.
The Mach One at Helmond (Netherlands) was the first location for the race. However, due to the bad weather and track conditions, it was moved to NBR track at Mol (Belgium)
The weather forecast was predicting bad weather.
Finally it was just some rain during lower finals and the track was dry and in good condition most of the time.
After the first qualifying round, Daniel Reckward (GE) was the fastest in 1:8 Buggy, and Bas De Konik (NL) was the fastest in Truggy.
The local driver Kim Verheyden was the fastest in the 2nd qualifying round, but Daniel Reckward took the TQ, followed by the Dutch Buggy Champion and Merlin Team Driver Jorg van Leuken.
In Truggy Bas De Konik was the fastest again taking the TQ followed by Mark van Waaijenburg and Matthijs Jansen.
In the main Final Jorg Van Leuken took the first place, but after a few laps he had some trouble with one servo and was overtaken by Daniel Reckaward who finally won the race followed by Van Leuken and Sascha Nelson.
