After a flawless opening round at Mugello, RSR arrive in Belgium as the team to beat, but Round 2 promises a very different test.
Momentum with RSR after Mugello clean sweep
RSR’s commanding performances from Marcus Littlewood and Paul Denning in Italy set the tone for the season, converting pace into a clean sweep of victories and establishing an early championship advantage. Their ability to control both races, manage traffic, and execute under pressure marked them out as the benchmark heading into Spa.
Spa: the ultimate challenge
Few circuits test drivers quite like Spa. Its high-speed layout, elevation changes, and unpredictable weather make it one of the most demanding venues on the calendar. Corners such as Eau Rouge and Blanchimont require absolute commitment, while the long lap opens the door for strategy variation and slipstream battles.
It’s a circuit where dominance can quickly unravel and where challengers often emerge.
Grid surges to 24 cars
One of the biggest developments ahead of Round 2 is the growth of the field. Spa is expected to feature 24 drivers, underlining the strong momentum behind the championship’s return.
The larger grid is set to intensify competition throughout the field, with new names, returning drivers, and international entries all adding fresh intrigue.
Three drivers from the Radical Cup Australia will be making the journey, as well as entries from the USA and China, highlighting the global appeal of the series and adding an unpredictable element to the competitive order.
Spa will also see the first SR10-class entry, fielded by a pair of drivers from the Radical Cup Scandinavia, introducing a new dynamic to the grid and potentially shaking up the performance hierarchy.
Opportunity for the chasing pack
While RSR dominated the opener, the increased grid and variety of experience levels could disrupt the competitive order. With more cars, more traffic, and more variables in play. Check out the grid and schedule at radicalcupeurope.com
