Steven Cuypers is the 2006 Belgian National 1:8 Champion.  Driving his Mega powered 960 Cuypers won the title from fellow Serpent racer Robin D'hondt.




The final round of the championship took place in Roeselare over the weekend where D'hondt was in top form.




Qualifying saw the talented youngster TQ ahead of Cuypers to make it an all Serpent front row for the top final.  Making the most of their Mega MF engined 960s, the pair converted their grid position into a 1, 2 result that in turn also secured a Championship one, two.
