Orlowski caps off ETS title with 10th consecutive win

Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski completed an impressive unbeaten run in the ETS over the weekend as he notched up win number 10 in as many races. Having already successfully defended his Modified title at the previous round in Germany, at the season finale in Austria the Pole would wrap up the season with the TQ and victory. Making the switch back to carpet for the event following his impressive TITC debut win last month, Orlowski topped all four qualifiers to secure the TQ ahead of Mugen Seiki’s Ronald Volker and Awesomatix Marc Rheinard. While he got the better of Orlowski with his new MTC-3 at the recent MIBO International, in the final Volker could do nothing about the pole sitter and backing up his A1 win another, albeit closer win, in A2 the fifth round was decided. Winning A3 from Rheinard, Volker would finish P2 for the round but in the overall in the championship he finished third behind Rheinard. In Pro Stock Sören Sparbier gave Mugen their second win with the new MTC-3 to finish runner-up in the championship behind Awesomatix’s Lukas Ellerbrock who ccomplete the podium in Vienna behind Xray’s Adam Izsay. In FWD, 4th place was enough for Schumacher’s Márk Valent to secure the title ahead of Yokomo’s Frederik Hovgaard while victory at the fifth round saw Phil Langner complete the Championship Top 3.

Based in California ALF1 Racing Designs has released these new 3D printed 1:10 Formula 1 wings utilise Tamiya F104 style wing mounts, ensuring broad applicability across various chassis platforms. Meticulously 3D-printed using resilient TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) to absorb the harsh impacts encountered during intense race conditions, this material choice ensures exceptional durability and longevity.

This advanced composite material provides superior strength and stiffness, ensuring optimal aerodynamic performance and precise handling. The front wing is designed with a low downforce profile, incorporating strategically placed ‘pass-through’ air ventilation holes to minimise drag while maintaining a modern 2025 F1 aesthetic. The rear wing is engineered for high downforce, generating substantial rear traction for improved cornering and acceleration. Its unique design includes replaceable side wing plates, providing racers with virtually unlimited customisation options to fine-tune their car’s aerodynamic setup.
