Orlowski tops 2WD seeding at EOS

Having kicked off his home event with the fastest time in free practice, Michal Orlowski went on to top 2WD seeding for Round 2 of the Euro Offroad Series in Warsaw, Poland.  Fastest in the first of the two controlled practices from Bruno Coelho, the Schumacher driver went quicker in CP2 with a ‘lucky’ last lap that denied Marc Rheinard from topping times.  Running two cars in the second practice but losing the front wheel off his better car after just a lap, Coelho would end up third having to count his CP1 time. Behind, Lee Martin would be one of only 4 drivers in the Top 10 to improve in CP2 with that time leaving the reigning champion 4th for the seeding ahead of fellow countryman Neil Cragg, with Martin Bayer completing the Top 6.

4 out of 4, Kurzbuch completes perfect ENS campaign

Simon Kurzbuch completed the perfect championship campaign as he made it four wins from the four races that make up the Euro Nitro Series.  Having already sewn up the title at Round 3 in Austria, the World Champion capped off his 2nd ENS title with a fourth win at 2016 season finale at the Mini Autodromo Jody Scheckter track in Fiorano, Italy.  Starting what would be reduced to a 30-minute final due to rain from fourth on the grid the Team Shepherd driver would go to the front just before the half way mark to go on and take victory ahead of Top Qualifier Dario Balestri, front tyre management hampering last year’s Champion’s quest for the win.  Behind the two title protagonists, emerging star of the 2016 championship Toni Gruber would cap off a great campaign by claiming a second podium finish of the season.

Greiner wins ENS finale, Leino is Champion

Dominic Greiner has won the season finale of the Euro Nitro Series but it is Teemu Leino who claimed the biggest prize with 6th in a rain shortened A-Main in Fiorano enough to crown him the 2016 1:10 Champion.  Top Qualifier for the race, a heavy crash with Marc Rheinard would leave Greiner with a difficult car for the final but strategy and quick work by his pit crew would allow the Serpent driver to take his first win of the season.  With the race going 40 of the scheduled 45-minutes, the World Champion’s second ENS win would come ahead of title contender Eric Dankel, the fast closing Mugen driver finishing 4-second off when the race was stopped.  Having led for a time in first half of the race, last year’s race winner Alessio Mazzeo was to complete the podium at Mini Autodromo Jody Scheckter.  Starting second on the grid, while Leino never needed to win the race to secure the title he didn’t make things easy for himself with an early off that resulting in a flameout and the loss of 2-laps raising the heart rates of his Team Infinity crew.  Keeping his composure and a close eye on the progress of points leader coming into the weekend Dirk Wischnewski, the Finn would recover from 11th with the fastest lap of the race to finish 6th.  With Wischnewski finishing 4th, this was enough for Leino to take the title by 3-points from the German with Dankel’s second giving him 3rd a further 1-point back.
