As the 488 Challenge Evo cars lined up on the grid for Race 2 Andrew had it all to do following a very frustrating qualifying, the cause was a coolant hose which failed at the very start of the session.

Andrew started at the back of the grid after failing to set a lap time in Q2, it was all eyes on the frontman, Cavers, the title-chaser leading the field into the opening corner at La Source.  Within half a lap, Andrew had carved his way through the field, gaining five places in almost as many corners. Whilst Sikkens lost out to Al-Faisal through Malmedy for 2nd, a more important duel was happening behind. Andrew was on a mission to clinch the title, but a determined John Dhillon stood in his path, defending brilliantly to hold off the aspiring champion.

On the 6th lap, Andrew’s persistence proved too much for the man ahead to bear as he went the long way round through Malmedy and came out ahead and now in Championship position. With cheers filling the paddock, he just needed to maintain the position despite Cavers now being 8.5 seconds ahead at the front and setting fastest lap.
