SPRINT OPEN: LOIC DEMAN AT HOME

From his hometown in Brussels, Loic Deman (#6 Rapido Racing) knows this racetrack like nobody and that helps him to win the Open Division’s Sprint race after starting from the pole and leading all laps.

“A podium is always a great thing, but winning his first race, at home, for his first start, it’s crazy!” said Deman. “The start was tough because we were side-by-side in the Raidillon with Martin Van Hove, then I try to have a subsequent gap to manage my race.”

Deman was entered as a Guest for the event and did not receive any championship points.

Simon Escallier (#18 Scorpus Racing) and Tanguy Ide (#44 Orhes Competition) finished second and third, respectively.

“It’s great,” said Iannetta. “The start of the year was tough for the whole team. Despite two top-five finishes, the success wasn’t with us. After a transmission failure yesterday, we are now happy to win.”

“I love the concept” Duez said. “Compared to what I’ve known in the past, I’ve never seen a series where cars are so equal each others. The level is high. It’s important to have a championship like that with a nice balance.”
