On Friday night we went there and could spend the night in a house on a holiday resort the brothers Arts had booked for us all. On Saturday morning we went to the track of Racing Arena Limburg and started testing. I mounted the new aluminium chassis under the E4RS4 car. After 2 batteries I was doing the laptimes I ended a few weeks before with the III+ car. So that was a good start. After that I could improve the car a little in laptimes but most improved in drivability for a consistent 7 minute run we had to do on Sunday.

Sunday morning we started with qualifications. Soon I found out the competition was high as John Ermen (ENS A finalist) and Nicolas Delise were doing similar times as I did. In the first run I was in the lead the first few minutes but by hitting a slower car it costed me to much time to keep up the first place. I ended up on 3rd spot. Same for run 2, also a 3rd place. This time with a little bigger gap to the 2 guys in front of me. It felt like driving a little on my own as the 2 guys in front were just a little to quick for me, but from the back I had no real competition from someone to fight for 3rd sport with me. So after all I did finish the day in 3rd spot.

This was the first time indoor with the new car. It felt pretty good and had a good drivability ! But the 2 guys in front were just a little to quick for me, so some improvements in driving and setting-up the car for next time needs to be done for sure.
