Belgium wins the 2000 WORLD CUP ahead of Spain
Geert Mertens is World Champion
"PIKI"  (ex AEQUO WITH BERNAT BASAS) WINS HIS SECOND
MELLO YELLO JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

January 2006 - The original report on the 2000 IMCA Worlds having disappeared, I make a reconstruction of what happened. One has to keep in mind that from 1995 thru 1999 no official World Championship for model cars was organised. In that period there was nearly no more (hard bodied) model car racing outside Europe. Early 1999 several European racers insisted that IMCA should again organise a decent World Championship for hard bodied model cars, being only open for typical model car specialists [thus not for ISRA-like scale racers or USRA-like wing car racers]. By organising the 2000 Model Car Worlds at the same week of the ISRA Scale Racing Worlds, one could be sure that no other racers than typical model car racers could show. Location was the Euroshop Warehouse at Roeselare (Belgium). A contract was made with the warehouse owner that the winning national team should receive € 20,000 cash. Spectators could bet on the top-3 with a special € 2000 prize for the winner.  Format was very simple and quite symmetric: six nations could enter each 4 cars, 2 GT1 and 2 GT2 with 1998 FIA GT bodies. Invited nations were Germany, Spain, Belgium, Holland, France and Slovakia. All cars had to use the PlaFit 124 Excel chassis, but with the Bison motor fixed ...behind the rear axle (what made the roadholding of the car extremely difficult, so that only a very experienced racer could win). Track was a 27-meter Carrera 6-laner. There were 4 rounds, where the top-10 in GT1 and top-10 in GT2 could score points. GT2 cars could only be driven by youngsters, GT1 cars by racers older than fully 22 years. There was not only an individual world championship for Experts and Youngsters, there was also a competition among nations, since only the best nation could win the € 20,000 prize. The resulted in a national solidarity, never seen before in such an individualistic sport as slot-racing. Eventually the 2000 World Cup for Nations was won by Belgium ahead of Spain. That was quite a surprise, since Belgium was present with a team of youngsters and pure amateurs, while Spain was present with a very professional team of Igualda racers. However, one should be honnest: without the soccer tournament - that year part of the World Cup and good for 100 extra points - Belgium should never have won the World Cup. Spain had the best racers, while Belgium had only Geert Mertens, "Piki" and JPVR as experienced racers. That year the world championship was won by Belgium's Geert Mertens, having won the last round and having finished second in the three former rounds. That year to Kurt Petri - having won two rounds out of four - could have been the new world champion, but for pure strategic reasons he preferred not to start in the last round. After three rounds he was still leading Geert Mertens by ... one point. Among the youngsters Bernat Basas and "Piki" van Rossem finished ex aequo with 70 points and two wins each. So that year there were two Mello Yello world champions. For "Piki" it was already his second win at the Mello Yello World Championship for youngsters.
	The 2000 World Champion Geert Mertens
	No less than 57 racers showed. Belgium had 11 racers for its 4 cars (there were always 2 racers per car). Best Belgian racer was "Piki", having won the 1995 Mello Yello Junior Worlds. Moreover ex-world champion JPVR, all-rounder Geert Mertens, and Nicolas Van den Abeele served as experienced entries. All other Belgian entries were newcomers, most of them being students.  Germany was also present with 11 racers. With such top guns as Manfred Stork, Ralph Klose, Kurt Petri, Michael Niemas, Kevin Krollmann, Patrick Brau next to Thomas Hahnel, Werner Grund, Norman Grund, Florian Both, and Axel Bernhard, Germany started as the top-favourite to win the Nations Cup. Strongest opponent seemed to be Spain, present with 8 racers. Among them Ivan Basas, Bernat Basas, Mauro Balaguer (winner of the 1999 DPM), Bernat Solsona (winner of the 1999 and 2000 DPM) next to Guillermo Serrano jr & sr, Jordi-Joan Tasias and Xavier Prat. Holland had also 8 racers with Hugo Dekker, John van Hoornaar, Ben de Hartog and Paul Uylenberg as seniors and Dennis Vogel, Ben Moen, Gerwen Hol and Edwin de Kuyper as juniors. Among the 8 racers from France we found Sylvain Pigny (who in 1994 defeated twice super star Jan Limpach!), Marc Joyeux, Henrique Dehais and Stéphane Bourdeau as seniors, and Benjamin Gonthier, Valentin Wouttiseh, David Bernard and Romain Guernon as juniors. Slovakia was only present with 6 racers: Jozef Miskolci, his brother Jaroslaw and Lubomir Kamenistiak as seniors, and Peter Dvorsky, Adrian Hruska and Patrik Zrubek as youngsters. Three Belgian racers (Dirk Wittevrongel and the Geeraerts Bros) decide to complete the Slovak Team.
Officially Bernat Basas won the Mello Yello Junior Worlds, but reconsidering the results it appeared that "Piki" van Rossem was stolen no less than 40 points by a painful miscalculation. After recalculation "Piki" was declared the 2000 Mello Yello Juniors World Champion with Bernat Basas as runner-up.
Prior to all racing there was - during the boring technical control - a soccer tournement where lots of points could be won for the Nations Cup. Here the Belgians were outstanding. they won with 11-2 from Holland in the Quarter Finals, with 8-1 from Slovakia in the Semi Finals and with 9-1 from Spain in the final. No miracle since the Belgians were present with 2 former international soccer players: Jean-Marie Pfaff (ex-Bayern München) in the goal and Nico Claessen (ex-Belgian natio-nal team) ans centre-forward. Round #1 is dominated by the Mercedes CLK-GTR cars. Kurt Petri/ Thomas Hahnel finish 3 laps ahead over the similar Mercedes of Geert Mertens/Peter Ackermans and 6 laps ahead over the Porsche 911 GT1-98 of Ivan Basas/Xavier Prat. A third Mercedes (JPVR/Nicolas van den Abeele) is fourth, another sixth (Ralph Klose/Axel Bernhard). Fifth place goes to a second Porsche GT1 shared by Serrano sr and Mauro Ballaguer. The two Slovakian Panoz cars and the French Honda NSX disappointed. In GT2 the Spanish Roock Porsches GT2 of Bernat Basas/Jordi Tasias and Serrano jr/Solsona take the two first places, ahead of two Vipers, res. of Patrick Brau/Normand Grund and of "Piki"/Youri van Rossem. Then follow the two Konrad Porsches GT2 of the Dutch national team.
At Round #2 positions are inverted. Now Porsche places three of its four GT1-98 cars in the top-3. Ivan Basas/Xavier Prat win, 2 laps ahead over the Mertens/Ackermans Mercedes, and 9 ahead over the surpri-sing Porsches of Dekker/den Hartog and Balaguer/Serrano sr. Then follow two Mercedes (JPVR/"Piki" and Petri/Hahnel).  One of the Vipers (Miskolci/Kamenistiak) goes better, finishing seventh.	The Belgian team with below Peter Ackermans, Nicolas van den Abeele, 9-years old Youri van Rossem and 12-years old Yannick Putzeys. On the second row we see Geert Mertens, Mike Timmermans, Kristof Klinkers, "Piki", Maya Willockx, Chrisophe Vanginderachter and Jan de Boey. Alone (top of the image) we recognise JPVR.
The Mercedes CLK-GTR of Geert Mertens finished three times second before winning the last round and the World Championship	In GT2 the Spanish Roock Porsches are again the two first, but now in inverse order with Serrano jr/Solsona beating Bernat Basas/Jordi Tasias. The #51 Viper, so disappointing in hands of Niemas/Both at round #1 is now third in hands of Brau/Both. The Belgian Viper of Timmermans/Klinkers looses during the final stages of the race its fourth place to the SOK Porsche GT2 of Gonthier/Guernon. First Konrad Porsche GT2 is sixth with Moen/de Kuyper. Commotion starting the third round, when two national teams complain that the Spanish cars use a faster and newer version of the Bison motor. After inspection it's decided that the motors on the four Spanish cars need to be changed. Round #3 gives a 1-2 for Mercedes. Kurt Petri/Manfred Stork win with hardly more than two car lengths from Geert Mertens/JPVR. For Petri it'salready his second win, for Mertens his third second place. That means that with one last round to go Petri leads the provisional stan-dings with 46 points, one more than Mertens. Third place in the race is for the Jever Porsche 911 GT1-98 of Dekker/Van Hoornaar, followed one lap further by the works Porsche 911 GT1-98 of Balaguer/Prat. The Mercedes CLK-GTR of Ackermans/Van den Abeele is fifth. After a seventh place at the previous round the fastest Slovakian Panoz is now sixth. The works Porsche 911 GT1-98 of Basas/Serrano sr is only seventh, followed by the black Porsche 911 GT1 of Henrique Dehais/ Stéphane Bourdeau. After two eleventh places the French Honda NSX is now tenth. In GT2 the Belgian Viper of "Piki"/Timmermans beats the Roock Porsche GT2 of Bernat Basas/Solsona and the French SOK Porsche GT2 of David Bernard/Benjamin Gonthier. The second Roock Porsche GT2 (Serrano jr/Tasias) is only fourth. The Dutch Konrad Porsches are fifth and eighth. In the Mello Yello ranking for youngsters "Piki" is now followed at 3 points by Bernat Basas and at 5 points by Solsona.
Round 4 is decisive, not only for the winner of the 2000 Nations Cup, but also for both world championships. Among the seniors there is a big surprise when two candidate winners decide NOT to start for the last round. It concerns the leader of the provisional ranking Kurt Petri (46 points) and the sixth in that ranking: JPVR (33 points). At the start Geert Mertens (45 points) has the best chances if he can keep the Spaniards Xavier Prat (42 points), Ivan Basas (36 points) and Mauro Ballaguer (28 points) behind. Among the juniors "Piki" (50 points) has to defeat no less than four Spanish youngsters: Bernat Basas (50 pts), Bernat Solsona (50 pts), Jordi Tasias (45 pts) and Guillermo Serrano jr (45 pts). Victory for the Nations Cup goes among Belgium and Spain. split by 29 points. Germany, having had serious problems with its second works Mercedes GTR-LM and with its too heavy Vipers, is fighting with Holland for the third place. Immediately after the start the two Spanish works Porsches 911 GT1-98 are pulling away, followed by the two German works Mercedes CLK, the two Belgian Persson Mercedes and the surprisingly fast Panoz Esperante GT-R of Jozef Miskolci. Balaguer leads Ivan Basas with Miskolci in third position and holding up the blue Mercedes of Mertens. Then follow the two German works Mercedes and the second blue Mercedes of the Belgians. After 10 minutes of racing the Spaniards change their drivers on the works Porsches. Basas replaces Balaguer and Serrano sr replaces Prat. Since Prat is the best placed to win the Model Car Worlds, Basas waits Serrano sr and let him take the lead. However he makes several mistakes so that Miskolci (Panoz) is threating him for the first place. Basas decides to wait no longer and attacks. He passes the Panoz and the Prat/Serrano car, where Prat takes over 5 minutes later. Initially he can move up into second position (good for 15 points), whilst Mertens/"Piki" are always fourth (good for 10 points). When at mid-race Prat hears he's the provisional leader of the Model Car Worlds (2 points ahead over Mertens) he becomes so nervous that hecommits several mistakes. He looses his second place to the Panoz, so that, with two segments to go, Mertens and Prat have virtually equal points.   "Piki", driving Mertens's Mercedes has to pass the Miskolci Panoz if he will bring Mertens to the leader's position at the Worlds. But Miskolci defends not only his second place, he even takes over the lead from Balaguer/Ivan Basas. During the fifth segment "Piki" succeeds to pass the Spanish works Porsche, moving into second position. It takes him nearly a complete segment to pass also the Panoz. All this makes Xavier Prat so nervous that he deslots several times. He drops in the standings from fourth to seventh position, having been passed by the works Mercedes of Klose/Hahnel, by the second Belgian blue Mercedes and even by the Jever Porsche GT1-98. The struggle for the Worlds is thus over. During the last segment Geert Mertens ensures his leader's position to win the last round and the title. The Miskolci Panoz is second at one lap, followed by the Balaguer/Basas Porsche, the Klose/Hahnel Mercedes, the Van den Abeele/Ackermans Mercedes, the Dekker/Den Hartog Jever Porsche and the unlucky Serrano/Prat Porsche. The NSX Honda is now ninth after two eleventh and one tenth place. In the Worlds ranking Ivan Basas jumps over Kurt Petri and Xavier Prat. Peter Ackermans was initially declared third, but now it appears that he was only fifth. IOC-points have been corrected. Petri and Prat deserve 4.5 IOC-points more and Ackermans looses 9 IOC-points.	The Dutch Konrad Porsche made by Hugo Dekker.
	AN UNBELIEVABLE ERROR DISCOVERED 6 YEARS LATER... In GT2 the #56 Roock Porsche GT2, now in hands of Bernat Basas/ Serrano jr, had its revenge against the #53 Viper (now driven by MikeTimmermans/Klinkers). Instead of loosing (as in round #3), the Spanish car won. Third place went once more to the French SOK Porsche GT2. Then followed the two German Vipers (having disappointed the whole week-end) and the second Spanish Roock Porsche. Struggle for the Mello Yello Junior Worlds was exciting - not until the real end, but even until ... six years later! Indeed, before the start of round #4 we had 3 co-leaders ("Piki", Bernat Basas and Bernat Solsona). At the finish we had still two leaders! "Piki" won 20 points as best youngster on GT1 (and overall winner of the round), whilst Bernat Basas won 20 points as best youngster in GT2. So both finished with 70 points. Both won also twice ("Piki" once in GT1 and once in GT2; Basas twice in GT2). So there were two Mello Yello junior world champions in 2000: "Piki" van Rossem (B) and Bernat Basas (E). For "Piki" it was already his second Mello Yello win, since he won the previous edition in 1994. At the very moment of the prize giving, however, one forgot to calculate Piki's points won with GT1 cars (at round #2 he was best youngster in GT1, good for 20 points, and at round #4 he did the same, now being even an overall winner). The man who forgot to add the 40 points to Piki's total of 30 was ...his father, himself the organiser. It took JPVR indeed six years to discover his error. Instead of being only 7th with 30 points, "Piki" was, together with Bernat Basas first. His IOC-points (30 instead of 3, thus + 27) have been corrected.

But let's be honnest, without the soccer tournement - where Belgium took 40 points on Spain - the Spaniards should have won. More surprisingly than the Belgian victory was the defeat of Germany. Indeed, the Germans came with such excellent seniors as Manfred Stork, Ralph Klose, Kurt Petri and Thomas Hahnel and with some of the world's best youngsters such as Michael Niemas, Kevin Krollmann, Patrick Brau and Norman Grund. On paper this national team was unbeatable before the start. On racing however, everything went wrong for the Germans, despite two wins out of four rounds. Their two Vipers (in GT2) were not competitive at all, so that they scored nearly no high points. Moreover one of their two Mercedes CLK-LMs didn't work at the three first rounds. Stirring also is the fact that winner Belgium came at the start with only four experienced racers: "Piki", Geert Mertens, Nicolas van den Abeele and JPVR. All others were typical club racers, all selected by the clubs of Diepenbeek and Grimbergen. Of the Belgian racers, most entrants stopped already active racing in 2001: Maya Willockx, Jan de Boey, Christophe Vanginderachter, the Geeraerts Bros, Dirk Wittevrongel, Mike Timmermans, Kristof Klinkers. The fact that Euroshop found a very poor excuse in order to pay never the promised € 20,000, was perhaps not strange on that massive withdrawal. The Euroshop owner pretended that TV-maker Luk Alloo didn't come to cover the event. But on Saturday the owner asked Alloo to show only on Sunday, and when Alloo showed on Sunday the owner told that it was forbidden by law to film the public. Later we were informed that such is a typical tactic by Euroshop...
