The last round of the Cup takes place at the indoor astro track of the Black Country Arena, as usual. This year however, the track has been completely revamped, as the new owner, Christophe Meert, changed not only the track layout, but also the drivers’ location. This new layout offers a moderate grip astro surface with “stop and go” hairpins, high steep corner, a funny winding section on painted concrete…
For the first time, the Off-road Racing RC Torhout (ORRT) hosts a race of the Belgian SCT Cup. This astro track is a long one (250 meters!) and offers both technical and flat-out sections, with some tricky jumps that requires a very precise driving. It has rained all day and night before the race, so the track will be wet all morning long and starts to dry only in the…
Since the beginning of the Belgian SCT Cup in 2012, the September race is hosted by the MBV Kampenhout and its famous track. This year as every year, Willy and Liliane Heremans provide a flawless organization, which allows to run four qualifications rounds instead of the usual three, giving the drivers more opportunities to improve their lap times, on this very technical track that demands a lot of concentration and…
Once again we had the chance to race in the middle of Enghien’s park during the biggest RC exhibit of the country. Buggy Tournai Racing club did setup a very nice and large temporary grass track which was praised by most and produced fun racing. With a mixed weather on Saturday and a wet track, practice time was limited. On Sunday it took the first two qualification round for the…
After the missed race in Merchtem in June, everyone was looking forward to this very first race organized by the Bugg’Ittre club on July 2nd, even more as it is the only dirt track of the calendar. The club worked hard in preparing a nice event with a perfectly maintained track, a BBQ tent and even a bouncing castle for the kids. Unfortunately the party’s been a bit ruined by…
For the second year in a row we start the new season in Zolder. Location and facilities are still top notch and track is even better than last year, with more flow and still an amazing grip level. In Pro2 qualification, Géry Ledocq (Kyosho SC6) dominates and takes all rounds. Nicolas Evens (TLR 22SCT) and Tom Vercarre (TLR 22SCT) complete the Top 3. Fabio Cumps (TeamC TM2SC) in 4th and…
The penultimate race of this season is hosted by Buggy Club Seraing. The club has setup up a great temporary track after losing the rental agreement on their previous location. The track layout is really great and the facilities around it (rostrum, catering,…) as well. Kuddos to the team for having put so much effort in finding a solution to organize the race in a difficult time! Unfortunately, as in far too many occasions this year,…
The fifth race of the year is hosted by the MBV Kampenhout club on its superb astroturf track. Layout is slightly modified compared to last year, making it even better. Once again the rain falls down on race day but the track is very well drained and dries up quickly. It is enough though to mix the qualification results a bit, with some heats of same round running under the…
Fair to say the race in Enghien is the highlight of the Belgian SCT Cup season as well as a great promotion to the hobby. Racing in the middle of an RC show with planes, helicopters, boats, drones and all the rest is really a great thing. The BRTC crew puts lot of efforts in building a temporary track in front of the parc’s castle, and it pays off with the…
On an unanymously praised enhanced layout, Buggy Racing Tournai Club hosts the first race of the summer on first week-end of July. Unfortunately, like last year in May, the weather is against us. With massive rain on the previous weeks, the club works hard to make it possible to start the Sunday race on a dirt track in good shape, but at noon some massive rain ruins it and forces…
