We were saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Belgian National Electric TC Champion Koen Joosens. The young driver was killed in a tragic accident on Wednesday the 7th of May. A Schumacher team driver and leading figure in the Belgian RC scene, he will be sorely missed by the racing community and everyone that knew him. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

“We arrived at the track on the Saturday morning with the weather not looking to good. It rained on of in showers until about lunch. It left the track with a few soggy spots all through qualifying making tyre choice very difficult for everyone. Mixed fortunes were the order of the day in Qualifying, round one put me 8th in the Buggy’s and TQ in the Truggy’s. In round 2 having not changed anything I slipped to 15th in the buggy’s and 3rd in the Truggy’s. For round three I wanted to shake things up a little and went for GRP Conspikes on the Buggy and a new set of XRAY’s very own Thrax Tyres on the truggy. I managed to pull back to 12th and 2nd in the “B” final by the end of Buggy qualifying. Truggy faired much better with a respectable 3rd on the grid for the “A” final!” [Source - mirageracing.com]
