The Belgian VRL 2011 Fall Trophy started on home ground, on the circuit of Zolder. Twentyfive turbopowered machines battled eachother for an hour long race. SFH’s Robin Verdegaal chose the powerful but tricky BMW M1 and took poleposition with a personal lap record, close in front of reigning champion Ricardo Michalewski.
After a fast first stint however it was Tim Vanhee in the Ford Capri turbo who took over the lead with a fuel-only pitstop. On fresh tires Verdegaal charged to close the 14 seconds gap, but after gaining 10 seconds the finish flag fell too early.
Second place, poleposition and fastest race lap puts Verdegaal on par with Vanhee in the season standings. Next race: Norisring.
