On Monday the Belgian Championship Buggy had its final race at the clay track of Courcelles.

Rc Speedhouse driver Dave Liekens and Nicolas Decamp were still in the fight for the title.

TT_Bel2

Dave Liekens managed to take TQ in front Mike Bouvier and Nicolas Decamp.

All topdrivers qualified for the main final so the fight for the title would be held here.

A quick count told us that if Nicolas Decamp won the race a sixth place for Dave Liekens would be enough for the title.

But from the start it was obvious that Mike Bouvier was the fastest driver on the track.  He won with a very nice lead in front of Cedric Nickell and Jean Yves Konings.  Nicolas Decamps was fourth in front of Bjorn Nagels and Dave Liekens.

With this win Mike Bouvier takes 2nd place from Nicolas Decamp and Dave Liekens becomes the new Belgian Champion.

In only his second year of racing Dave Liekens is very happy with the title and also Rc Speedhouse owner Bjorn Nagels is very happy with it.

The last round for Spanish 1/8 Nat Championship was held in ARCA track, near Madrid last Sunday.

Main candidates for overall title were Carlos Peracho and Nacho López after previous race in Valladolid where Oscar lost most of the chance due to an inopportune belt breaking while he was leading the race.

So Oscar had to win the race and expect his main rivals to finish below 4th.

TQ was taken by the Xray of Jorg van Leuken, in front of Dave Liekens (mugen mbx6T) and Kris Verlies (Losi).

Main final was mixed truggycup and Nrw which resulted in 8 truggycup and 4 nrw drivers.

From the start of the final dutch Jorg van Leuken and Belgian Dave Liekens ran away, they were both to strong for all other competitors.  After 30 minutes the gap between Jorg van Leuken and Dave Liekens was only 3 seconds, so very close racing.  Jorg van Leuken took victory in front of Dave Liekens and Bas de Konink.

The second round of this years BRCA 1/8th circuit national championship was located at the famous Wombwell circuit, which is part of a large Karting complex. This track is loved by all the drivers since it contains a combination of slow and fast flowing corners which is a joy to drive when driven on the edge. The weather forecast did not look too good for Sunday, but thankfully it was a dry weekend. With time restrictions in place due to the noise levels, the Committee decided to run open practice with a lunch break. This made the track at times very congested with a lot of fast cars easily catching up the slower cars and damage was inevitable.

The main issue happened mid afternoon when Richard Boult accidentally tripped and fell onto the main straight whilst marshaling a team mates car and was hit on the leg by defending champion Tim Wood which total destroyed his car. The result was an immediate halt to the practice session

auto-Ilja-NK-21-600x564The second round for 1/8 Onroad Netherlands Nats, was held last weekend at Ruchpen track.

A really interesting and exciting race were Ilia Van Gsatel made his first race as Merlin Team Driver.

Robin D’Hondt has written this text for us:

«Hey Everybody,

The second round of the Netherlands championship was held at the fast track of Rucphen. Weather forecast looked good, we only had a bit of rain on Friday night, which made training on Saturday morning impossible, but for the rest of the weekend the dark clouds would stay away from the track.

On Saturday afternoon I came on track and the setup felt pretty nice to begin with. I didn’t changed anything at first because I wanted more grip to come, so in the late afternoon I only started changing some small things like down stops, front springs and rear arm positions.

The later it got, the faster everyone went and soon we were with 5-6 people driving lap times in or close to 13.0 (track record 12.8 I was told).
