Euromax Genk April 2011 Matt headed off to Genk with high expectations following on from last years sucess there. The week started with difficulty and Matt never really found the rythym that he managed to attain quickly in 2010. Whilst he managed to deliver the 2nd fastest time in Heat 2 and a strong drive in difficult conditions in the final, round 1 of the Euromax proved not to be the drive Matt wanted.
