In a great mix of zen attitude, firmness and professionalism, the crew of BPT Merchtem hosted the first race of the year to be run on astroturf. Track is located in a sport complex and features a challenging layout, with a quite bumpy surface, fast corners as well as big air jumps. The grip fluctuated a lot during the day, starting by being very low due to morning dew and being high once the generous sun dried it out before first qualification heat. It’s been good to see quite lot of new faces attending the Cup!
