The 2014 F2RWRS Belgian Grand Prix was the eighth race of the 2014 F2RWRS season. Alberto Cara would take home his second victory after only just beating Rosco Vantini. Mitchell Macklin had a terrible day after starting from pole when he was involved in an accident.

Report

Qualifying

After rain washed out most of Thursday Practice, the dry Friday afternoon qualifying session was a welcome relief for the teams and with the F3RWRS not leaving as much carbon fiber (Or more, as the case may be) on the track than they usually do, it looked like to be a good shootout amongst the 22 runners. On one of the real driver's circuits on the calender, Mitchell Macklin took full advantage of being the last runner to take his second pole running from Wouter Lamberigts (Who incidentally was actually was born in the Netherlands but races under a Belgian license) and Alberto Cara. The Holden Young Lions camp obviously read the mid-season review by some punk kid who goes by the name of "Wizzie" with Tommy Nash putting in a personal best effort in 5th and Jason Hamilton also in the top 10, being sandwiched by the two Jones Italia cars after the rumoured takeover of the Trueba team was finally made official. Laurent Seron disappointed on home soil in 11th while the large contingent of Dutch fans who made the trip from the Netherlands to watch their heros Micko Glotch and Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen along with F1RWRS driver Gio van Dycke had to look a long way down the grid to find their countrymen.
