Belgian first for British championship
The Quaife MSA British Rallycross Championship will make its first trip to Belgium next weekend when the fourth round of the eight event series takes place at the Duivelsbergcircuit near Maasmechelen on July 11.

With three rounds of the series completed the championship is finely poised, Andy Grant (Barnstaple) two points ahead of defending champion Pat Doran (Winkleigh) with David Binks (Newcastle upon Tyne) a further nine points adrift. The Belgian event is a step into the unknown for almost all of the drivers in the British championship, but Doran has previously raced at the Duivelsbergcircuit (the Devil’s Hill Circuit) in European championship events and thus has experience and knowledge of the track that could give him a critical advantage.
