BPT’s astroturf track is now a classic of the Cup as we’ve been here every year. For 2016 the club has refreshed its track layout and surface. The layout is even more technical than before with a huge step-up sequence and nice off-camber turns. The surface remains astroturf but is providing much less grip than before. As every year the staff delivered a smooth and fun event.<\/p>\n

With the amount of rain we had in the previous week, the track remained humid for the whole day even if no drop felt on Sunday. Tyre choice has been more complicated than usual on astro due to this and the new surface.<\/p>\n

In C final, Patrick Meunier (Associated SC5M) wins 2 rounds to take the win. In B final, there’s a very close battle for the win between\u00a0Philip De Keersmaecker (Tekno 410SCT) and St\u00e9phane Lecomte\u00a0(Associated SC5M). Philip wins the first round by 0.239s over St\u00e9phane, retires in second round letting\u00a0St\u00e9phane take the win, and wins the third round by 1,4s over St\u00e9phane.\u00a0First round of A final starts with G\u00e9ry Ledocq and Nicolas Evens pulling away and battling for some laps.\u00a0But G\u00e9ry struggles with\u00a0his new tyre choice and Nicolas can pass and make a gap to take the win. S\u00e9bastien Fouque (TeamC TM2SC)\u00a0follows in 3rd. In second round, G\u00e9ry and Nicolas battle for 8 laps, exchanging position several times, until G\u00e9ry’s car breaks. Tom Pierard\u00a0ends up second ahead of Philippe Hautecoeur (Associated SC5M). With 2 wins Nicolas steps out of last round, and so does G\u00e9ry who’s not able\u00a0to fix his car. Philippe Hautecoeur takes the win in that last round, after being pressured by Tom Pierard and S\u00e9bastien Fouque for most of the race.\u00a0Philippe and Tom complete the podium.<\/p>\n

In A final, Nicolas Evens wins the first 2 rounds ahead of Sam Puttevils. First round is very close with Sam leading Nicolas for most of the race. A single mistake allows Nicolas to sneak by and take the win. In second round Sam\u00a0makes a mistake in first lap and after first lap madness restarts last, recovering to third behind Philip. Nicolas steps out of last round and Sam wins it ahead of Philip. Behind those 3 drivers, Fabio Cumps (TLR Ten-SCTE) and Sam Damman (TLR Ten-SCTE) are tied on points with a third and a fourth place\u00a0each, but Sam has a faster best run and take the 4th place.<\/p>\n
