Rheinard takes victory in Budapest

With Marc Rheinard securing overall victory in Budapest after Leg 2 of the A-Main and opting to sit out the final race of the day it was Xray’s Teemu Leino who took the win in Leg 3 to claim the runners up spot for the Hungarian round of the Xenon Racing backed Euro Touring Series. Starting from 4th on the grid, Leino was given his break on the very first lap when an impatient Viktor Wilck tried a move on Top Qualifier Ronald Volker at the final corner. Sending the Yokomo into a roll this allowed the Finn to pass them both and once in front he ran the perfect race as chaos broke loose behind.

Volker & Yokomo claim first ETS pole

Team Yokomo’s Ronald Volker will start on pole for Round 2 of the Xenon Racing backed Euro Touring Series after producing a blistering run in the final qualifier here in Budapest, Hungary. The German became the only driver to make 25 laps with a time of 5:12.338 and set a new fastest lap for the event taking his Yokomo BD5 around the large carpet track in 12.265. The new speed came thanks to Yokomo’s own R&D man Yukijiro Umino who, having tried a new set-up on his own car in Pro Stock, then transferred it to his team driver’s car. Volker said the changes made the car feel slower than in the previous rounds but it was a lot more stable allowing him get the time in. Having TQ’d the opening round of qualifying the result gives the recently crowned Japanese National Champion both his and Yokomo’s first ETS TQ honours.

Rheinard holds overnight TQ in Hungary

Marc Rheinard is the overnight TQ holder here in Budapest, Hungary, after the World Champion took maximum points in the penultimate round of qualifying for Round 2 of the Xenon Racing backed Euro Touring Series. Setting a new fastest time and just missing out on breaking into the first 25 lap run of the event, the German reversed the order of Q2 to head home his Tamiya Racing Factory team-mate Viktor Wilck with a time of 24L/5:00.301. Rheinard’s first clean run of the day, he said his 416X was easier to drive allowing him to also set a new fastest lap for the large indoor track with a 12.322. Wilck said his car was suffering with a little understeer but nothing too major.

Volker takes opening qualifier in Hungary

Yokomo team driver Ronald Volker has TQ’d the opening round of qualifying here in Budapest where the Top 4 drivers were separated by just 1.7 seconds. The German ace, who opted to run the prototype LiPo chassis BD5, said he wasn’t the fastest on track but keeping the run clean had given him the valuable maximum points for the round as he topped the time sheets by 2/10ths from Xray’s Teemu Leino. Leino reported his T3 as having a little push but was OK with second, having also taken a cautious approach to his driving.
