In the NOMAC class it was Frederik Haaxman who showed a great performance. A short course on how to set up a car on the last race and the investment of the right tools to do so together with the new Protoform R15 body did paid off in the results by taking the pole followed by William Lefévre, Stanley Bauer and Andy Muijres. The start of the final was a bit messy, with a collision between several cars in the first lap but Frederik could stay out of the hassle opening a small gap to the following drivers. Arco de Jong who could run five minutes on a tank was able to stay ahead of Stanley Bauer with William Lefèvre in fourth position.

Last weekend was the 4th round of the Dutch 1/8 onroad nationals, this time on the 2011 1/10 EC-B track, the Baanbrekers in Rucphen. With good weather, a lot of rubber on the track from the EC-B and 45 drivers on the fastest track in Holland it promised to be a very good race and it didn’t disappoint. Steven Cuypers was in very good shape the whole weekend and showed that by taking the top spot after the 1st round of qualifying followed by John Ermen, Robin d’Hondt, Gunther v. Steay. Finally after 3 rounds it was Rick V taking the pole followed by Steven Cuypers just half a second back, with Robin d’Hondt and Ilia v. Gastel completing the top 4. Both Robin and Ilia had an extra handicap by starting in the lowest heat with much slower drivers because their listing in this years ranking, Ilia had a collision in the 1st heat damaging his car a lot but managed a direct main final place with the other 2 sessions.
At the start of the final Rick V’s car was slow and then stopped. Steven took over the first position followed by Robin, Ilia and Gunther, all 4 Belgian drivers. Rick V lost 3 laps by the time he came back on the track and had a huge task to move up. With Steven Cuypers in the lead switching places with Robin d’Hondt and Gunther, Ilia and John Ermen not far behind we had a very exciting final, but only one can win.
