Best 50cc track in Belgium?

[Mikael Thorson]

Hi,

Do you have any recommendations for a nice kids 50cc track in Belgium? I am not looking for a small simple track - but one that is good for a skilled 50cc rider.

@ Lille (Rooverstraat) 50 & 65cc can drive all alone saturday and sunday (if no competition) on the big track from 8h30 till 10h00 and together with all youth till 12h. There's also a little track availible for in the afternoon :-)

@ Lommel, Olmen, Hélécine, Genk and Rognée there are separate -85cc tracks.

But a few kms in the Netherlands there's for my opinion one of the most beautifull youth circuits @ Westdorpe

Thanks!

We have been to Hélécine and she likes that small track but she wants to find another one now. We have tried the large and small tracks at Lille (too much sand for her liking). We will try some of the other ones you suggested this week!

If you're this week in Belgium, thursday there is an youth competition @ Lille.

That sounds very interesting. We actually live here and my daughter just started racing the VMCF jeugd class, so we will be in Vollezele on Sunday, but a little more race practice is always good! Do you have more info about the race in Lille (can she race on a one-day license and does she need her own transponder)?

[Filip Debloudts]

VMCF = UMC = MC Lille license so no problem for one day license (I even think its for free of 5€) No transponder for -12 year. Pits is open from wednesday (normally wednesday also open for training, check website) Start @ 8h, 1 training session and 2 heats (ending @ 15h for 50 cc or so) Also adults races in between.

Westdorpe (NL) just over the border, has a nice youthtrack too. Pretty big circuit with some long straights.
And normally has Axel a nice youthtrack too, but for the ONK they changed their track a bit and made the youthtrack smaller. But on the 'clubcrossen' in Axel there is a 50/65cc categorie, then they ride on the big track. It's worth to take a look their.
The 9th of June is the next clubcross in Axel.
