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\u00a0great 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 highest ever entry\u00a0count for our\u00a0serie.<\/p>\n

On the racing front, the grass track suffers a bit more than previous years, making setup and tyre choice a bit more complex as the grip first increases when humidity goes away then decreases when grass goes away.<\/p>\n

In Pro2 qualification, Laurent Halluin (TeamC TM2SC) starts the day by winning first round well ahead of G\u00e9ry Ledocq (Kyosho SC6) and Philippe Hautecoeur (Associated SC5M). In second round, G\u00e9ry is the fastest ahead of Laurent and Samuel Castel (TLR 22SCT). In last round, G\u00e9ry secures overall TQ with another fastest time, again ahead of Samuel and Laurent. Those 3 clearly have a higher pace than the rest of the pack and are also very close. Guilaume Laffut (TeamC TM2SC) misses the A final and takes BQ honor ahead of Philip De Keersmaecker (TLR 22SCT).<\/p>\n

Starting from P3, Samuel wins the first round\u00a0of Pro2 A final ahead of G\u00e9ry and Laurent. As noticed in the qualification, their pace is very close and faster than the rest. Second round is a demonstration of that with the 3 pilots fighting the whole race, with only\u00a02 seconds separating first from third\u00a0at the end of the 6 minutes! G\u00e9ry takes it ahead of Laurent and Samuel. Before the last round, they all have a shot at the overall win. At the start of the race, Laurent and G\u00e9ry take some margin and fight together. With 4 laps to go, G\u00e9ry has some slower laps which allow Samuel to pass and take second place. So in the end, the top 3 drivers all have a win and a second place finish, and the faster tme decide on the podium positions. Samuel takes the overall win with Laurent and G\u00e9ry following. Philip De Keersmaecker wins the first 2 rounds of B final to take the win ahead of Tom Pierard and Guillaume Laffut.<\/p>\n
