The first round of the Benelux Championship started in Mettet on March 3rd. Kobe PAUWELS dominated the weekend by winning all his heats before winning in the final. Tim BRAUMULLER finishes on the 3rd step of the podium completing a superb weekend for the whole COMTOYOU team.

That same weekend, with the support of the English federation, JM RALLY lined up two XC04 on the Rally sprint (5 km special) at the Trac Mon Anglesey circuit. The performance and adaptation of the XC04 on this type of format impressed.

James Morgan, JM RALLY Director: “This is the first step in a long path but I feel it was a great success and moves us closer to the goal of getting a stand alone class within single venue rallies for FIA Cross Cars.”
