What a weekend at the Duivelsbergcircuit Maasmechelen for the penultimate round of the Belgian RX Championship!
With four Xcars on the grid, it was an incredibly busy weekend for the team, and everyone put in a lot of hard work.
In the Junior category, Colin was back in action.
He is steadily closing the gap to the front-runners.
With two 5th-place finishes and one 6th-place finish,
he qualified directly for the final, 💪
where he started from 6th position.
In the final, he managed to gain one spot, crossing the finish line in an impressive 5th place.
Bryan Neumeyer was once again competing in the Senior category.
After his misfortune in the semi-final at the previous event, he was determined to secure a strong result.
Following three solid heats—finishing 2nd, 7th, and 8th—Bryan earned the second starting spot for the semi-final. He held his position, successfully advancing to the final. 💪
Starting from 4th place in the final, Bryan delivered a strong performance; thanks to a smart 'joker' strategy, he climbed to 3rd place 🥉💪, securing his first well-deserved podium finish.
Great work, Bryan!
Kobe Pauwels was also present in the Senior class.
Despite having to replace his engine following damage during practice, Kobe went on to drive a near-perfect race.
With finishes of 1st, 1st, and 12th in the heats, Kobe claimed pole position for the semi-final.
He went on to win that race, earning pole position for the final as well.
After a less-than-ideal start, Kobe fought back with an incredibly strong race and an effective 'joker' strategy to take the victory 🥇💪—and a dubbel podium for NSM-Sport/Ligier Automotive with this he also once again crowned as the Belgian Champion.
Finally, we also had a visitor from the other side of the world (Jakarta): Kingston Effendi a young man from Asia who was putting the Xcar through its initial tests.
Kingston is usually involved in drifting, so this was quite an adjustment for him.
Unfortunately, he didn’t reach the semi-finals, but many useful and valuable lessons were learned.
