Michael Johnsen wins at DMSU Rd3

The 3 round of the Danish DMSU series was held at MMRC Club in Toelloese on a freshly laid out carpet track with 60 drivers competing mainly in the Touring Car Pro Stock and growing Le Mans pan car classes. Fastest Le Mans driver on Saturday was Thomas Mortensen with a 11.7, followed by Claus Ryeskov and Michael Johnsen with a 12.02 and 11.99 respectively. The controlled practice on Sunday morning saw Michael Johnsen setting the fastest time, closely followed by Thomas and Peter. In qualifying it was again Michael Johnsen who set the pace, but now Rasmus B Nielsen had found some speed and he came in 2nd with Peter Harder in 3rd.

ETS season opener attracts full house

It is set to be a full house for the opening round of the 2014/15 Yokomo Euro Touring Series with over 350 entries from drivers around the world set to descend on the Sport-V-Hotel in the small Czech town of Hrotovice this weekend (5-7 December). Entering its eighth season, the weekend marks a significant milestone in the history of the World famous championship as it will be the 40th running of an ETS race. The fifth time the popular venue has played host to the championship, the race promotes Hrotovice to the most visited and longest serving location on the ETS calendar with the hall having undergone an extension since last year’s encounter creating room to build a larger track than before. Renewing their successful partnership with the championship’s founders Uwe Rheinard and Scotty Ernst, defending champion manufacturer Yokomo will continue as title sponsors for a fifth consecutive season and having won the season opener for the last four years the Japanese company will be hoping to maintain that form this weekend.
