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 consistency in order to find and keep the good rhythm. During the first qualification round, the track is still wet from the morning dew, but will dry quickly with the nice and sunny weather, to keep a constant, but not too high, grip level all day long.<\/p>\n

In Pro2 qualifying, G\u00e9ry Ledocq (Kyosho SC6) is on a class of his own, and easily secures TQ as he wins three rounds. He has to retire on second round due to transmission issues, this one being won by Nicolas Evens (TLR 22SCT) who has some difficulties to find the right setup. St\u00e9phane Lecomte (Associated SC5M) recovers from a bad tyres choice on the first round, and finishes all the other ones behind Nicolas to grab the third spot on the grid.<\/p>\n

In Pro4 qualifying, Nicolas Evens has no such setup problems with his Losi Ten-SCTE (nicknaming his car \u201cmagic\u201d) and succeeds to get TQ by winning three rounds, while Sam Puttevils (Tekno 410SCT) tops the second round in front of him only by 1.5 second. Sam Damman (Losi Ten-SCTE) shows a good consistency by finishing all rounds at the third place, therefore completing the top 3 qualifiers.<\/p>\n

In first round of Pro2 A-final, G\u00e9ry and Nicolas pull away from the pack after the start. Behind them, the battle is open for third place, as St\u00e9phane causes a collision with Tom Vercarre (TLR 22SCT) after a few corners. While St\u00e9phane waits for Tom to recover, Guillaume Laffut (TeamC TM2SC) grabs the third position, and despite pressure from St\u00e9phane and Tom all race long, he will keep cool and drive nicely and consistently to maintain his position until the finish line, while G\u00e9ry wins this round with a clear 9 seconds gap in front of Nicolas. The second round is spoiled with bad luck: on second lap, Guillaume has to pull over, with transmission failure. The lap after, it\u2019s Nicolas\u2019 turn to retire, as he looses a wheel! G\u00e9ry takes the win easily with more than 25 seconds clearance from St\u00e9phane. Edouard-Beno\u00eet Michez (Associated SC5M) takes a well deserved third place after putting some pressure on St\u00e9phane during the first half of the race. After his two wins, G\u00e9ry decides not to run the third round. In the first laps, St\u00e9phane manages somehow to keep a good pace right behind Nicolas until this one slowly but surely pulls away to win with a 7 seconds gap. The third place is disputed closely between Tom Vercarre, Guillaume Laffut and Eric Clerix (Durango DESC210), all three finishing in this order with respective 4 and 1 second gaps. This is how the day ends in Pro2 with an overall classification victory for G\u00e9ry Ledocq, second place for Nicolas Evens and third for St\u00e9phane Lecomte.<\/p>\n

In Pro4 A-finals, first round, Nicolas Evens leads from start to finish, being the only driver to achieve 13 laps, while Sam Puttevils cross the finish line at the end of lap 12 only 8 tenths of second after the 6 minutes mark. Fabio Cumbs (Losi Ten-SCTE) is the third man on this round, 5 seconds later. Second round is also Nicolas\u2019 property, once again completing 13 laps. The battle for second position is incredible and ends up with the smallest gap ever seen in the SCT Cup, as Sam Damman crosses the finish line only 23 thousands of a second in front of Sam Puttevils. Well, maybe the transponder location on the rig has some importance, after all! The closer to the front end, the better. With two wins and the first place secured for the day, Nicolas decides not to run the third A-Final, which allows the two Sam and Fabio to have a last on-track battle for the final podium positions. At the end of the game, Sam Puttevils wins with a comfortable 10 seconds lead, earning the second spot of the overall day classification. The third step of this day\u2019s podium is the property of Sam Damman as he takes second place only 3 seconds ahead of Fabio.<\/p>\n
