Six-time World RX Champion Johan Kristoffersson reigns Supreme in of Benelux - Round 6 after a well executed launch, whilst those behind were involved in bumping and bashing.

Right behind Kristoffersson were Kevin Hansen sticking behind for the ideal turn one, whilst he had Niclas Gronholm and Timmy Hansen (outside). Behind them were OC Veiby and Andersson. Veiby outbroke himself and slammed into Kevin Hansen, which cause a few cars to run wide.

Through turn 2, JK lead Kevin, Niclas, Veiby, Andersson and Timmy, but as the race progressed, the battle behind Johan heated up. Alternative joker strategies came into play, but ultimately it had no effect on the leader just he positions behind.

In the last corner of the last lap, Kevin tried to slow OC Veiby to try and help Timmy achieve a podium, but it wasn't enough.

Kristoffersson won from Kevin Hansen, OC Veiby, Niclas Gronholm, Timmy Hansen and Klara Andersson.

With victories in their respective semi-finals, Johan Kristoffersson and Niclas Grönholm lock out the front, as Rene Munnich and Anthony Pelfrene will go no further.

Starting on the wet Hoosier tyre, Johan Kristoffersson had a very good start, with teammate Veiby coming over to try and battle Timmy Hansen, but smart Hansen fended off the Polo attack with a tight inside line. Veiby dropped to third, and opted for a first lap joker strategy, thereafter, he pushed to close the gap to Timmy, who he overtook when Hansen took his joker lap, whilst Kristoffersson scampered off into the distance to win by 1.4s from OC, Timmy and Munnich.

Niclas Gronholm had yet another perfect launch from pole, as Klara Andersson projected her teammate in second covering off Kevin Hansen with Anthony Pelfrene behind in fourth.

On lap 2 of semi 2, Andersson took her joker to maintain second, but getting stuck in traffic and Kevin Hansen pushing meant she'd finish in third behind the younger Hansen brother and winner Gronholm.

Ice cool Gronholm aced his launch in Heat 1, whilst a first lap joker brought Klara Andersson within touching distance of winning the heat, however, team-work "we are in this together" meant she backed off to let Niclas win with Klara in second followed by Munnich and Pelfrene.

Just like Heat 1, the electric Peugeot got the best launches, despite Kristoffersson getting a slightly better launch, but it wasn't enough to beat the Hansen brothers. On the right to turn 1, Kevin and Timmy covered off all opportunities to pass, but the older of the two brothers ran wide losing second place, while a touch between the two KMS cars saw Kristoffersson fighting the wheel but managed to regain control and hang onto second. The six-time champion pilled on the pressure, but when Timmy jokered on lap 1, Johan covered him off on lap 2, and was just about able to keep ahead of team-mate OC Veiby, who reported after the race that he might have an issue with throttle bodies or the ALS system. Kristoffersson won pretty comfortably ahead of Kevin, Timmy and OC.

In the second race, Ole Christian Veiby had the best start, with Niclas Gronholm left on the line with yet more mechanical issues. OC initially led his team-mate Kristoffersson before picking up a front right puncture, and a lap later Klara Andersson picked up a rear right puncture as well allowed Kristoffersson to sail into the distance and eventually win the heat.
