Belgium Nationals Round 1

The first round of the Belgian 1/10th scale EP on road Nationals was run last weekend at the indoor track in Charleroi. The event had 38 drivers in two classes, EFRA (modified) and 19 turn (stock), and they were presented with a very fast but also technical track to contend with.
After a tough battle in the EFRA class, it was Olivier Bultynck with his Corally RDX-PHI who took the win in front of Xray driver Benoit Thomaes in 2nd, while the 3rd spot went to Demsey Jacob driving a Tamiya TRF416.
In the 19 turn class, it was again a Corally driver who was the overall winner, with Urbain Swijsen placing in front of runners up Rico Claeys and Thomas Stockman.
