Jokerteam GT12 Championship Rd3 – Report

With the third round of the 2017 Jokerteam GT12 Championship being held after a week of bad weather in northern Italy, many racers turned up with one eye on the sky, expecting weather conditions to be changeable. Thankfully the rain stayed away for Sunday but the track surface gathered lots of sand and water during the days preceding the race, leaving an overall lower traction than previous rounds. Drivers were left scratching their heads during the qualification rounds in order to find the ideal set-up of their GT12 cars. Despite the challenging conditions, Mattia Dall’Oca secured the TQ ahead of Ivan Milesi. The battle for the 3rd spot was a family affair between Alessandro and Roberto Rampini Alessandro coming out on top. In the incident-filled finals, Mattia carried his momentum over to grab an early overall win by taking the opening two A-mains by relatively comfortable margins. Ivan was then able to lock P2 after a fierce battle with Johnny Orsolin who recovered from 5th on the grid. In the overall championship Mattia Dall’Oca is now leading with 450 points from Johnny Orsolin (445 points) in 2nd and Alessandro Giubbilei (438 points) 3rd.

Easy Sunday morning drive for Coelho in A1

It was an easy Sunday morning drive for Bruno Coelho in A1 as the Xray driver took a dominant A1 win at ETS Italy.  Top Qualifier at the Riccione track, the reigning champion would immediately break away from the pack to win ahead of Ronald Volker and Elliott Harper, the Top 3 remaining the same from start to finish. Behind, 4th place starter Marc Rheinard would fall back after an altercation with the track’s infamous bump, snatching back 5th at the line from Serpent’s Viktor Wilck to finish behind his Infinity team-mate Jilles Groskamp.

Coelho Top Qualifier at ETS Italy

Bruno Coelho will make his third pole position start of the season at ETS Italy tomorrow, the Xray driver officially able to celebrate being the Top Qualifier at Round 4 after Ronald Volker topped the final round of qualifying. With the reigning ETS Champion taking a critical TQ run in last night’s opening ‘rocket round’ qualifier and backing it up another in Q2, a TQ run from Elliott Harper in the penultimate round meant there was a theoretical chance the British driver could deny last year’s winner from again starting the Riccione race on pole although beating the Q1 time was always going to be a mammoth challenge. With both Coelho and Harper out of new tyres, it was Volker who had saved his second set of tyres who would take the fourth & final qualifier ahead of Michal Orlowski, the EOS Champion also having the advantage of fresh rubber.  With this a crucial weekend for Coelho’s main title rivals, the TQ run will see Volker start from P3 on the grid while Marc Rheinard will try to keep his championship hopes alive from fourth behind Harper.

Bruno again in Q2

Bruno Coelho has effectively secured himself the overall TQ at Round 4 of the Euro Touring Series in Italy after he opened Day 2 of the event with a second TQ run.  Having claimed last night’s opening ‘rocket round’ qualifier,  taking Q2 will make it hard for the Xray driver to be denied pole for the A-Main as the time from the opening qualifier will be near impossible to beat giving today’s hotter track conditions.  With Coelho on his second set of tyres, Ronald Volker would do well to get within 3/10ths of the reigning champion given he was on the same set of tyres he ran to a P3 in Q1.  While offering ‘no comment’ on his tyre strategy for Q2, Viljami Kutvonen would complete the Top 3 ahead of Viktor Wilck and Meen Vejrak, both drivers on new tyres having opted to sit out Q1.

Coelho returns to form to take opening Q1 at ETS Italy

Bruno Coelho returned to form when it counted most with the Xray driver taking the opening round of qualifying at ETS Italy.  Having set the pace in free practice, the ETS Champion ended up P6 after the two rounds of controlled practice as Ronald Volker topped the seeding.  In the evening’s opening qualifier, which would bring the first official day of the fourth round to a close, Coelho was back in business taking the TQ ahead of Marc Rheinard and Volker.  Behind the trio of title protagonists, Elliott Harper would put in a strong performance to set a competitive P4 time followed by Jilles Groskamp and Yannic Prumper.

Volker tops seeding at ETS Italy

Ronald Volker is the top seed for the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Italy.  Having set the fastest time in the opening controlled practice, the Yokomo driver bettered his time in the second round when wind caused many drivers, including Volker, issues. Behind the World Champion, Jilles Groskamp would find a big improvement over his opening practice to set the second fastest time to demote his Infinity team-mate Marc Rheinard to third.  With Rheinard and Viktor Wilck failing to go quicker in the final practice, Akio Sobue would be the next driver to improve going from P8 in CP1 to P5.  The Japanese driver’s improvement would drop last year’s winner Bruno Coelho to sixth, the Xray driver believing additive is the reason for him being off the pace.
