Here we are guys, this is Spa Francorchamps, one of the best circuit in the world, a circuit where every driver likes to show his skills and this time is even more difficult as it is wet!
Someone will be scared to keep the throttle down rising the Eau Rouge/Radillon curve but if you’re brave you can make the difference on this track so we all enjoy it and we’re ready to run!
As said we have bad weather conditions, the sky is really gray and dark, many drivers decided to turn lights on all time, is going to be like this for all the weekend so who will get used to it quicker than others?
Qualifying: not bad performance at all for us, Andreas didn’t get the pole for just +0.056 sec, 3rd is a usually fast Juan, 6th a great Zoneur and 8th his friend Tictac.
I was 21th, Marc 23rd and Nemesis 35th with no time shown, no qualy for him but he will be able to race.
See full qualify results here, and enjoy the races which look to be promising for the team.
RACE 1: (final results)
what a wonderful result for the team on Race 1, we’ve got 4 drivers in the first 6 places!
Great job by Juan arrived 2nd and Andreas 3rd, the belgium twins Tictac and Zoneur are 5th and 6th, what a beautiful race for them as well, congratulation guys.
Nemesis was 20th while I’ve got a DNF and Marc a DNS.
RACE 2: (final results)
well, probably some of us was very excited by the result of race 1 and just pushed too hard during race 2 making mistakes everywhere…
Juan confirmed his consistency by arriving 2nd, brilliant! Andreas was 4th for another very nice position than we have to go down to the middle of the pack to find me 16th, Tictac 19th than Nemesis 29th and last we’ve got Zoneur DNF.
A beautiful result on race 1 unfortunately was not confirmed during race 2 but we know… races are like this mates, sometime things turn right and sometime not, just keep pushing and we’ll get better results!
Next round is the final one for this amazing championship, round 11 will be in Monza, what a nice place to finish, there could not be a fastest circuit for the final challenge!
Looking to the driver standings we’ve got Andreas and Juan 3rd and 4th than Tictac 5th they should be all able to keep their positions without problems, it will be very interesting to see who between Timon and Edwards will win the championship, just 100 point difference.
Nothing more to add, just CU in Monza!

So what to say about this beautiful circuit? I like it very much but I’ve never been able to be fast specially this time where I didn’t practice much.
After qualifying 21th I started 4th on heat 2 and with some testing and crrection to he setup I was able to be about 1,5 sec faster than during qualy! Clearly the fastest of my heat so really looking forward for a good results.
Nice start on race 1, 2nd place when challenging Eau Rouge on lap 1 just at few mills from Tyger with full throttle when I suddenly saw the brake lights turning on and… what a disaster… I created a big crash (don’t watch replay PLS!), damaging the car seriously and also Tyger was obliged to leave the race.
Really really sorry for him and for my mistake, I should have been more carefull on lap 1, it will help me to remind it for the future.
On race 2 I was starting from the back but I was clearly faster than others so I take the lead in few laps with just Tyger trying to keep my pace.
Unfortunately with 2 laps to go a small mistake made me lost the first place so I arrived 2nd. The revenge of Tyger, is fine for me.
I need some testing for a good result in Monza, that is MY home circuit!
