Original report from Pasquinel Neys:<\/strong><\/p>\n Last weekend I attended the first round of the Lovan RC funcup in Alveringem.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n When arriving at the track on Saturday morning I was stunned about the venue. The track was huge for indoor standards and had a fun and flowing lay out.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>On the first practice lap it was clear that the grip still needed to come but after a couple of battery\u2019s the car began to feel very good on the \u201cETS\u201d carpet.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>I returned home early because the drive home was about 2 hours and I promised my lovely daughter to visit a parade in our hometown on Saturday night.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n On Sunday, I left early to do some more practice laps before the start of the race.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>My car had enough steering for the track but I was struggling a bit with the rear of the car.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>After adjusting the rear of the car I was able to get the car more stable. I raised the outside of the rear camber links to get more camber change and put my rear shocks upright.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In the first qualification I felt pretty confident but looking at the timing list after the race proved me wrong. \u00a0I finished fourth after the first round of qualifying.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In the second qualification I changed to a regular speed 6 body and a somewhat special tire additive. I used green Xenon additive. My car felt faster and I gained some confidence. When I overtook a back marker I went a bit wide an hit the barriers of the track which made my front belt slip of the pulley. So qualy 2 was a DNF for me.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n When seeing the lap times after the race I could see that there was an improvement after switching to the speed 6 body but this still was not enough. I noticed that I was the fastest guy on the volante tire\u2019s but the people in front of me where riding some other tires. After a discussion about this with my teammates Lorenzo and Aron I decided I did not have the best tire choice for the event. A couple of minutes later Lorenzo popped up with an old set of Sorex 28. I asked race control if I could do some laps to feel the difference. After 2 corners I realized the Sorex tires where a big advantage. (on volante\u2019s I drove a 15.9, My first Lap on the Sorex tires I managed a 15.3).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The last qualification would be the decider for me. \u00a0During the run my car felt awesome but I managed to roll the car in the penultimate lap which cost me 3 seconds, I would line up as third on the starting grid.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n In the first final I had a good start, numbers 1 and 2 tangled up in the second corner and I could take the lead. After 5 minutes I came in first.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The second final saw the same start issues for numbers 1 and 2. I was leading the race but halfway to the race Tom Adams was putting me under a lot of pressure, I snapped and clipped a barrier. I finished second in the second final.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The third final would be the decider. I made a very good start and took over second place after a couple of laps. At that point Tom had got a big advantage over me. I pushed very hard but I was not able to catch Tom and ended up second. Tom would take the overall win and I came in second.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n I would like to thank the LOVAN RC crew for their splendid race. I also would like to thank my sponsors TM, HRC distribution and R1 Wurks for the support.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Overall Result – Stock:<\/strong> Overall Result – Modified:<\/strong> Last week-end was the first round of the Lovan RC Fun Cup at Alveringem in Belgium.
