Lang wraps up Pro Stock TQ honours
Matthias Lang has secured overall Pro Stock TQ honours for the fifth & final round of the 2008/2009 Euro Touring Series after completing a clean sweep in the opening three qualifiers here in Andernach. The German posted the fastest 5-minute run of the day but it was a very close run thing between him and Serpent driver Martin Schmidt who ended the round just 1/10 off. Once again Thomas Musial took third. Lang, who hasn’t touched the set-up on his SMI Motorsport Xray all day, was delighted to wrap up the TQ honours early and plans now to use the remaining two qualifiers to try some small chassis adjustments in preparation for tomorrow’s three leg finals. Schmidt said his GM powered S400 has been handling well all day but this was the first time he managed to string the laps together for a clean run. While the fight for pole is over in Pro Stock there is still a very important battle for grid position between the three main ETS title contenders of your defending champion Alexander Stocker, current points leader Daniel Wohlgemuth and Hungarian race winner Balint Rajki.
