Wilck maintains form in Q3
Factory Tamiya driver Viktor Wilck has notch up his second TQ run here in Warsaw heading a quartet of Speedpassion powered TRF416 chassis’ at the top of the time sheets. The Swede, who set a new fastest lap of 16.053 for the huge track, was on target for his quickest run of the day but pushed too hard rolling first on lap 14 and then again on lap 17 resulting in his 19 lap run being a second off his Q2 time. The Swede said his car was really good and a 5:08 run is possible but he needs to be less aggressive with his driving to achieve this.
Team-mate Marc Rheinard tried a new prototype diff in the front of his car for the run. The ETS championship leader said his car felt lazy and this was reflected in laps times with his best lap almost 2/10th off that of Wilck. The German plans to run two of the diffs in his car for the penultimate qualifier to see how it reacts.
Having struggled yesterday in practice and in the opening two rounds of qualifying this morning, last year’s race winner Yannic Prümper seems to have finally found his way setting the third fastest time. The Toni-Sport team driver said a fresh set of tyres had cured the traction roll problems but the car was now sliding around a little too much. The European Junior Touring Car Champion hopes a second outing on the tyres will give him the balance in grip he needs.
Just missing out on a 19 lap run by 6/10th of a second, Michael Bok was very happy with his run saying his car was really easy to drive. With the traction levels continuing to increase the Czech driver plans to change the offset on his Tamiya. Best of the Xray drivers was David Ehrbar who was fifth fastest with the similar T3 of Swiss National Champion Sacha Lnenicka who completed the Top 6.
In Pro Stock Alexander Stocker continued his domination of the 13.5T Speedpassion hand motor class. Coming closest to the DHI Cup Champion was Zdenko Kunak, who 16.895 fastest lap from Q1 still stands, with Jan Gehrig making it three out of three as he again completed the Top 3 on the time sheets. Czech ETS winner Daniel Wohlgemuth once again failed to complete the run when for the second time in succession the pulley came loose on the lay shaft of his Hot Bodies Cyclone.
