The third round of the 200mm Dutch Nationals took place at the MAC de Baanbrekers track. Over the weekend drivers were welcomed with some nice weather which gave them plenty of time to find a good setup to fit this fast track.
On Sundays first qualification it was Julius Kolff who posted the best 3 conservative laps well ahead of Pedro Rombouts, Ricardo Hofmeijer and Sander Borfhoff.
Qualification:
1. Julius Kolff 2. Pedro Rombouts â“ XRAY NT1'13
3. Ricardo Hofmeijer
4. Sander Borghoff
In the final Julius and Pedro drove away from the pack. At the first 10 minutes of the race they drove heads to tail from each other, only switching places after a pit stop. Meanwhile Ricardo hit early trouble and had to retire quickly as also Sander didnâ™t have a flawless race. This opened a spot for Ruud Schuitmaker and Roy bakker who came in 3rd and 4th. At front Pedro had a unlucky come together in the pit lane costing him some time. At the 15 minute mark Julius also hit trouble as he had a flame out. This gave first place back to Pedro, while Julius came back 2 laps behind. From there Pedro drove his way to the checkered flag 3 laps in front of Julius. Behind them Ruud was at a comfortable 3rd spot, but this washed away as he had an accident 2 minutes before the end of the race. This gave 3rd spot to Roy.
