Orlowski wins, Wilck crowned Swedish Champion

Having taken the TQ, topping 4 of the 5 qualifiers, Michal Orlowski completed the perfect weekend at the Swedish Indoor National Championships to take the overall Touring Car victory.  However, given Orlowki’s Polish nationality the honour of being crowned 2023 Champion would go to second place finisher Viktor Wilck.  Hosted at David Ronnefalk’s DR Racing Arena, this year’s event attracted an international field with Marc Rheinard another star of touring cars to make the trip north to Sweden.  With two wins from the triple A-Mains, Orlowski may have been ineligible for the Swedish title but his victory is the perfect start to the indoor carpet racing season for the Schumacher driver.  Behind the Infinity of Swede Wilck, who heads to Thailand for the Nitro Touring Car World Championship this coming week, Rheinard completed the race podium for Awesomatix.  Finishing 4th, Xray’s Alexander Hagberg and 6th place finisher David Ronnefalk complete the Swedish TC title podium.  In 1:12 it was Hagberg who took victory to be crowned Swedish Champion from Ronnefalk and Alex Andresson.
