CTS3 Rd5 – Report

P1 Hobbies in Ukiah, California played host to round 5 of the 2018 CTS3 and the event’s name was called Heat which was perfect since temperatures reached over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The track was run counter clockwise which included a down hill straight away and a center kink making it almost difficult to drive hard and go fast. In Modified Touring Car, it was Rick Hohwart setting the early TQ and kept setting the bar higher with a super fast Q3. Rick’s prototype TC7.2 became quickly noticed and was the car to beat as he won tone to tone in the main with David Jun (Team Associated) 2nd and Brandon Clements (Awesomatix) in the 3rd. The points chase is close for these three drivers leading to two more rounds in the series.

3 in a row – Coelho lifts ETS title with Apeldoorn win

Bruno Coelho has retained his Yokomo Euro Touring Series title claiming the championship for the third year in succession with victory on his debut at the Apeldoorn track in the Netherlands. Top Qualifier for the fourth time this season, the Xray driver added the third win of his campaign in A3 after the early demise of his main challenger all weekend Ronald Volker. With both having a win each from the opening two A-Mains, Volker pushed hard but it was to be too much and he rolled his Yokomo over the curbing coming onto the main straight on the first run through. This left team-mate & third place starter Christopher Krapp to take up the challenge but despite a good effort of getting the Portuguese driver in touch the German couldn’t mount an attack. With Volker setting a new track record as he finished out A3 finishing it in 9th, his early results would still give him second with Krapp joining him on the podium. Volker’s best result this season, it was a good weekend for the Yokomo team with Yannic Prumper finishing fourth but once again it was Coelho who was the benchmark.
