Last weekend, we headed to the Duivelsbergcircuit Maasmechelen for Round 6 of the Belgian RX Championship.
We had three Xcars competing this weekend: Bryan and Kobe in the Senior class, and Colin in the Junior class.
Colin was racing at the Duivelsberg for the first time.
He initially struggled a bit to find the right braking points and good pace.
Over the course of the weekend, however, he steadily closed the gap to the rest of the field.
He secured two 8th-place finishes and one 7th-place finish in the heats.
This earned him a spot in the semi-finals.
He finished 4th in the semi-final, missing out on a place in the final by just one position.
Final result: 8th place overall.
We look back positively on Colin's performance; he pushed his own limits💪 and consistently narrowed the gap to the frontrunners. He learned a lot and is ready for the next race in three weeks.👊
Bryan Neumeyer also had a tough start, finishing 16th in Q1.
However, he bounced back strongly in Q2 and Q3,
taking 1st place in Q2 🥇and 3rd in Q3🥉.
These results qualified him in 2nd place overall.🤩
This gave him pole position for Semi-Final 2.
During the semi-final, Bryan ran into trouble; a broken anti-roll bar forced him to slow down, resulting in a 3rd-place finish just missing a spot in the final by a single spot.
Final result: 7th place.
Kobe Pauwels started strong right away, finishing 1st, 2nd (behind teammate Bryan), and 1st again in the qualifying sessions. This placed him 1st overall🥇. ...and thus secured pole position for semi-final 1.
Kobe went on to win this semi-final as well, claiming pole position for the final.
In the final, Kobe didn't get the best of starts but immediately fought his way back to the front.
He regained the lead but made contact with a rival during the battle. In the process, Kobe hit the inside wall and damaged his front suspension, forcing him to retire early and settle for 6th place🤕.
We look back on the weekend positively; the pace is certainly there, and the Ligier XC04 are performing very strongly
The next event takes place in three weeks, back at Duivelsberg for Round 7 of the Belgian Championship
