Round five of the Belgian National Championship was held at the MRCC track, and the event was perfectly organized by the crew members of SRCF. The weather was very nice and the competition very strong. The championship is divided into two classes: EFRA and Superstock (run with LRP 10.5 Brushless motors and LiPo batteries).

EFRA Class

In the 5-cell EFRA class, Benoit Thomaes was topping the field with two perfect runs on this huge track which is very demanding on runtime. His car was very well balanced and easy to drive.
