"Soo... can happen... no seriously no words. European Champion 2016! It was an amazing week with a perfect finish. When Qualifying started we had the perfect setup/engine combo. Superpole was really fun to drive and for sure even better to come out on top. In the final i drove my own race with some small mistakes in the beginning clipping the curb a few times. After a few minutes i could re-find my rhythm. Eventually after a problem for Simon i could take over the lead and no way i was going to give it away anymore... thank you for all the congrats!

I would ofcourse like to thank my sponsors whom without this wouldn't be possible Capricorn, Tesla, Sanwa, MLC, Protoform, FVSS, Abec35, Cris Design, RC Car Colours Eric Epp Caprizia Rossi, Nds-Tech Louis, Atsuhiro Sawamoto Katrine-Jan Op de Beeck

Special thanks to my meccanics Tom Martens and Rony D'hondt. You guys did a great job!"
