The inaugural event of TCR Benelux
took place at Spa-Francorchamps,
where the Honda cars run by the
Boutsen Ginion Racing won nearly
everything. Tiago Monteiro and
Stéphane Lémeret won the 60-minute
qualifying race despite a strong
opposition from the DG Sport
Compétition Opel Astra of Pierre-Yves
Corthals and Frédéric Caprasse.
On Sunday, Monteiro repeated his win
in the first sprint race, but was beaten
by Guillaume Mondron in the second.
Then the rain spoiled the show.
Renaud Kuppens won race three in the
second Boutsen Ginion Racing car
ahead of teammate Lémeret and
Corthals’ Opel. They finished in the
same order in Race 4 that was
red-flagged for torrential rain.
