Groskamp wraps up Dutch ETS encounter
The second leg of the Modified A-main has ended and it was Tamiya International driver, and leg 1 winner, Jilles Groskamp that took victory and with it overall honours for Round 3 of the Much More backed Euro Touring Series. Shadowed for the entire 5 minute race by a very much on form and man of the moment Hugo Van Den Berg, the two Dutch drivers were never more than a second apart and over the opening laps the Xray driver looked set to make a move on the leading Tamiya TRF416 but never fully committed. At one stage the top four qualifiers were in a high speed train but in the midfield Viktor Wilck and Serpent’s Bart Wubben clashed leaving the leading pair to break clear. Continuing their fight right to the flag Groskamp looked very relieved coming down from the rostrum showing that Vd Berg really had the pre-event favourite under pressure. Groskamp wants to do the hat trick but Vd Berg also wants to put his name on the international map and is as equally determined to win Leg 3.
