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.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">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 \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6476 size-large\" title=\"Rob Janssen \/ TM E4RS4 finished third at the Dutch National Championship @ Limburg\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Rob Janssen \/ TM E4RS4 finished third at the Dutch National Championship @ Limburg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/20171203_130014445_iOS.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Original report from Richard Arts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Past weekend we had the first NK indoor race in Racing Arena Limburg.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Starting the training on Saturday with the setup we tested a couple of weeks earlier.

Some small mistakes like traction rolling after driving a dot or curb, cost some time, but not really positions.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">During the quali\u2019s the traction had gone up quite a bit, so we were struggling to keep the car on 4 wheels.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">The first couple of minutes were really tricky, but then the car seemed to settle down, and we could keep a steady pace but still needed to be careful.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Unfortunately, we couldn\u2019t really battle for position during the finals.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">In the end Ronald ended up in 6th place and I was 8th.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall results:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A &#8211; 1.
