Hettrich & Wahl win at BaWü Cup

The BaWü Cup in Konstanz in the South of Germany was one of the first carpet races of the 2012/2013 season and a great opportunity for many teams to try out new parts for the upcoming ETS race in Mühlheim Kerlich. The organizers tried a new track layout for this year with a technical section at the first part of the lap and a more open and flowing part for the remainder of the lap. The new layout was well accepted by the drivers and made for some challenges when setting up the cars. In the stock blinky mode class it was T-Shox team-drivers Tobias Vogel, who won the German Stock Championship, and also Valentin Hettrich who showed a strong practice and also qualifying pace. Valentin took the last two rounds of qualifying and also the TQ spot for the finals. For the A-mains Tobias got the car better and better using the same setup Valentin was using. Valentin was on a roll and took the first two A-mains in style. Tobias however did not give up and took the win in the third and last A-main.
