Rheinard converts in leg 2
After a poor performance in the opening final Marc Rheinard corrected things in Leg 2 by converting his Warsaw pole position into a rather easy victory over Steven Wiess and Sacha Lnenicka. ‘I drove better, but it would have been hard to drive any worse than I did this morning’ was how the German summed up the race. Finishing 4.5 seconds clear of Weiss’ Yokomo, the Championship leader said the track feels like it has less traction than yesterday and this is causing his Tamiya to be quite loose, but despite this he doesn’t plan any set-up changes for the deciding leg. Going into the third leg any one of five drivers can still take the win here at the Arena Ursynow.
Steven Weiss was happy to again take second position but a new set of tyres made his LRP powered BD5 not so nice to drive. The German, who is looking very strong for his first ever ETS podium finish, will run the same set of tyres again but will switch additive along with adjusting roll centres and front shock oil. Swiss National Champion Sacha Lnenicka said he had lots of luck on his side but was none the less very pleased with third. Running a Speed Passion powered TRF416 WE, he switched from CS Racing High Grip to Competition additive for the race and this had made his car easier to drive. For the closing race of the day he plans to try a combination of the two additives.
Leg 1 winner Viktor Wilck suffered bad luck, lasting less than a minute after his Tamiya shut down on the main straight. The Swede, who really wants to close the 3 point championship deficit to Rheinard before the series moves outdoors, is currently looking for the reason behind the mysterious shut down. Although he only finished ninth, one driver who deserves a mention is Lars Treder. The 18-year-old German was running a fine third and putting in the race of his life until last year’s Polish victor Yannic Prumper tried a move and the pair touched both ending up on their roofs.
After a great opening race, the second Leg of the Pro Stock A-Main didn’t live up to expectations with Alexander Stocker resuming his domination and cruising to victory to secure his third ETS win of the season. Behind the Hot Bodies driver the big battle was for second between Jan Gehrig and Zdenko Kunák but the star of the opening leg made a mistake giving Gehrig the break he needed to hold on for second. The error also allowed Daniel Wohlegumth through for third.
