In qualification Jilles took TQ with Jordy Blok driving a Serpent in second. Daan Jacobs running a Kyosho in third and Maarten van Lierop driving the Xray NT1 for the first time in fourth spot.

In the final Jilles was leading the pack followed by Jordy and Daan. After 10 minutes Jordy retired after loosing a rear wheel and that gave Jilles a clear lead.

After 30 minutes Jilles crossed the line first, with Daan closely in second and Maarten in third.
A pretty good start of the season with Maarten and Jilles driving the new NT1 with a win and third place finish!
