Orlowski wins Euros Warm-up Race

Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski was the winner at the Euros Warm-up Race at the Dutch Raco2000 track in Ultrecht which will host the Electric Touring Car European Championships proper on August 22-24.  While the reigning European Champion Marc Rheinard travelled with the Awesomatix team for practice at the uniquely shaped track layout, he wouldn’t contest the Warm-up Race and Xray was without its lead driver in Modified as Alexander Hagberg was racing at eSIC in in Singapore, where he finished runner-up to Akio Sobue.  With five rounds of qualifying, it Orlowski who took the TQ ahead of Infinity’s Bruno Coelho and Mugen Seiki’s Ronald Volker with the Yokomo’s Christopher Krapp claiming P4.  With the Top 3 remaining unchanged in each of the triple A-Mains, the podium would be the same as how they lined up.  RC Maker’s Antoine Brunet was the top mover in the finals, the Frenchman qualifying P7 and finish P6 behind Jilles Groskamp and ahead of Awesomatix’s Lucas Urbain.  In Pro Stock, Max Machler took the TQ & win ahead of Awesomatix team-mate Olivier Bultynck with Xray’s Adam Iszay completing the podium.
