Martin extends EOS lead with Slovakian win

Martin extends EOS lead with Slovakian win

Lee Martin has extended his points lead in the Euro Offroad Series, the reigning champion making it two from two with victory in Round 2 at the Hudy Arena in Slovakia.  Top Qualifier for the 2WD A-Main, the bonus point making it the perfect result, the Yokomo driver would have to wait until the third A-Main to deliver his 7th EOS race win.  Having won A1, a mistake in A2 would see Michal Orlowski take it from Bruno Coelho putting all three in contention for the overall win as they lined up for A3 which would deliver an entertaining conclusion.  Getting passed by Orlowski, Martin would get back to the front to win the encounter ahead of Martin Bayer giving the overall win ahead of Orlowski with Coelho completing the podium at the Xray owned track.

Orlowski wins A2 at EOS Slovakia

Orlowski wins A2 at EOS Slovakia

Michal Orlowski has won the second A-Main at EOS Slovakia, the Schumacher driver taking a convincing win over Bruno Coelho and A1 winner Lee Martin.  Winner of the Hudy Arena event last season, Orlowski would take the lead after Top Qualifier Martin made a mistake on his third lap at the same spot as the Schumacher driver did in the opening final.   The Yokomo driver’s short coming over the double would also disrupt Coelho’s race as his Xray would tag the reigning champions out of shape buggy.  Able to build on the break given to him by the incident, Orlowski would win by over 3-seconds as Coelho managed to hold off the recovering Martin setting the stage for a 3-way shot out for the overall win of Round 2 of the championship.

Martin sees off Orlowski in A1

Yokomo’s Lee Martin saw off two challenges from Michal Orlowski to win the opening A-Main at Round 2 of the Euro Offroad Series in Slovakia.  The Top Qualifier would lead from start to finish but twice came under pressure from the Schumacher driver at opposite ends of the 5-minute encounter, a last lap roll by Orlowski leaving Martin to win by 2.5 seconds.  Starting from fourth and getting past Marc Rheinard at the first double on the opening lap, Bruno Coelho, having been promoted to second by Orlowski’s early mistake would complete the Top 3 after an almost identical mistake ended his chances of mounting an attack on the leader.

With Lee Martin taking the opening two 2WD qualifiers at Round 2 of the Euro Offroad Series in Slovakia, in Q3 it was last season’s winner Michal Orlowski who would force the overall TQ to be decided in the fourth and final qualifier at the Hudy Arena.  Having lost out on the TQ in Q1 with a last lap mistake and then making a mistake while setting the pace in Q2, Orlowski would manage a clean 5-minutes on his third attempt to top the times with a new fastest time just 0.045 up on Martin.  Behind them Bruno Coelho would as he did in Q3 again complete the Top 3 ahead of Xray team-mate Martin Bayer who was only 10th in the previous two qualifiers due to mistakes.
