Mobers dominates EPS 2 in Belgium

At 21.-22.11.2009 the second race of the European Pan Serie took place in Belgium, Zwevegem. When I arrived there, we found a nice sportshall with a cool looking layout.
I took the free practice on Friday to get to know the track.

First time out on the track, I noticed the track was very bumpy, so I had to soften the center damping some. I made the oil thinner and went to softer springs.
The Serpent S120 cars, both the link and t-bar car, worked a lot better after the changements, so I could concentrate on tyre choice and bodyshell choice.

Saturday morning there were two more controlled practice runs and the traction on the freshly layout increased more and more. I simply went little down with the tyre diameter to prevent traction rolling. Further I want to a Blackart 002 Audi shell in both classes.

Qualifying went really well, although I had to skip some runs, due to running both classes.
In Modified I TQed 2 laps clear of Loic Jasmin and Robin H’hondt. My Serpent prototype link car was so good on the bumps. Also I made the fastest lap of the event with a 9,71, which was 3 tenth faster than anybody else.

In Superstock I also TQed with a big margin. Second was my young and talented teammate Jan Asmer, closely followed by fast Belgian driver Oliver Bultynck. Also in the A-main was Bart Loomans, our Serpent Benelux distributor, who keeps improving his 1/12 skills.
I was the only one who drove a lap bellow 10 seconds.

All finals went great, although there was a lot of hectic and crashes in the Superstock mains.
I could win all finals and took the overall win in both classes.
In Superstock Jan Asmer was a little bit unlucky, his Serpent S120 car was working very well, but he was struggeling with his electronics. At the end Jan had to let Oliver Bultynck by for second place, but still the young german finished a great 3rd.

I like to thank the MRCZ club for a well organized race and we are looking forward to race there next year again. Next EPS race will be at the famous MACH Heemstede club in january, so place your entry now!

Greetz,
Markus
