…very hot conditions. The only one who could have denied Coelho the TQ, Sudhoff was always going to be up against the conditions as not only did he need to TQ the round but he also needed to beat Coelho’s Q2 time which was held in much cooler conditions. At the end of the 5-minute Coelho would have 1.5-seconds in hand over the Awesomatix driver who starts second. Behind it will be Christopher Krapp who will line up followed by Alexander Hagberg and Championship points leader Ronald Volker.

Having set the benchmark high with his pace in practice, top seed Freddy Sudhoff finally hit the top in qualifying at ETS Netherlands as he TQ’d the third round. The Awesomatix driver would be the only one to make 21-laps as the temperatures rose at the Apeldoorn track, the German’s gamble to not run new tyres in the morning’s Q2 not paying off. One used tyres for Q3, Bruno Coelho is the man on target to take the overall TQ due to his Q2 time which was over 5-seconds quicker and with the track going to be super hot again…

Bruno Coelho claimed another TQ run in the second round of qualifying at the Dutch ETS in Apeldoorn this morning, this time the Xray driver topping the times from Awesomatix’s Lucas Urbain. Having taken yesterday evening’s opening qualifier, Coelho quickly pulled clear of Freddy Sudhoff, the top seed gambling to begin the day on used tyres which after 5-minutes left him P4. On new tyres, the main challenger to Coelho on the clock would come from Urbain and Alexander Hagberg but with a fastest lap 2/10ths up on everyone else the reigning Champion always had a decent margin in hand….

Bruno Coelho has taken the opening round of qualifying at Round 5 of the ETS in the Netherlands, the Xray driver fastest from the dominant force in practice Freddy Sudhoff. Starting behind the top seed after team-mate & No. 2 seed Alexander Hagberg opted to sit out Q1, Coelho was able to take advantage of mistakes from both Sudhoff and his Awesomatix team-mate Lucas Urbain to take a slightly surprise TQ run given Sudhoff’s advantage in practice. Having seeded 8th, Ronald Volker was to complete the Top 3 ahead of Yokomo team-mates Christopher Krapp and Nicholas Lee with Urbain rounding…

Avid have introduced new unsprung brass weights for the Awesomatix A800 and A700 touring cars. The weights attach to the end of the front arms to give more on-power responsiveness, causing the car to feel more direct when coming out of the corners, almost feeling like it slingshots out. The radiused bottom keeps the weights from digging into the wheel on big hits. Source: Avid [avidrc.com]…

The second round of this year’s Marka Racing Trophy was held at the La Valletta track in Varese, Italy. In Touring Stock 13.5 Luca Pelagotti (Schumacher) had to fend off the attacks of Nik Di Palma (Awesomatix) in the opening A-main final. Fascinating and with great sportsmanship it was Pelagotti with the 2nd place as Di Palma was able to pass him ultimately. In the second final Pelagotti managed to maintain the 1st position until the end while behind him it was Davide Gianuzzi (Awesomatix) who recovered from the 4th starting position. The third final saw a masterpiece of Gianuzzi,…
