Volker TQs opening ETS qualifier in Austria

Ronald Volker has TQ’d the opening round of qualifying at the fourth round of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Mattsee, Austria. Having set the pace in practice at the fahr(T)raum event to lead away the top heat of qualifying, the Team Yokomo star was the only driver to do 24 laps of the unforgiving US style track but the defending champion faced a stern challenge from Tamiya’s Marc Rheinard. Setting the TQ pace for a time Rheinard would post the second fastest time, just missing out on 24-laps, with TRF team-mate Viktor Wilck third. Fading light made for challenging conditions for the top modified drivers, Volker’s Yokomo team-mate Dominik Fleischmann who was fastest in the final practice particularly struggling in the difficult light.

Following a 2-month break, in the first practice of the four round of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series defending champion Ronald Volker made his intentions clear setting the fastest time from Serpent’s Marc Fisher. An all new event on the ETS calendar, the Yokomo driver looks to have got to grips rather quickly with the unique track in Mattsee, Austria, being over 1/2 a second faster than his rivals over 3-consecutive laps. Volker’s team-mate Yannic Prumper completed the Top 3 around the US boards style track that thankfully it was decided on Tuesday to cover with a very large marquee meaning the many heavy rain showers today have not interrupted proceedings.

Timo Schröder wins at Northern Germany champs Rd2

The 2nd round of Northern Germany Championship took place at the technical track in Braunschweig. Shepherd driver Lars Hoppe and Timo Schröder again dominated the whole weekend and showed a great performance after the double victory at the first round in Munster with Lars Hoppe finishing in front of Timo Schröder. In qualification it was Lars Hoppe who took the TQ in front of Timo Schröder and Michael Pätz in third place. At the start of the final Lars had some problems with his engine which gave Timo the chance to push him hard. After the first fuel stop Timo took the lead with his Velox V8 EC and it was an interesting fight between them for the remaining 25 minutes until Lars’ engine flamed out. At the end Timo crossed the finish line 1 lap in front of Lars with Michael Pätz completing the podium 5 laps down.
