Volker gets job done in Leg 2
Ronald Volker is looking like a very serious bet for the 2010/11 Yokomo Euro Touring Series title after victory in the second leg of the A-Main here in the Czech Republic saw him wrap up the overall win early, just like he did at the season opener in Kastellaun, Germany, last month. Having led Leg 1 this morning from start to finish the German ace looked on target to repeat that in the Leg 2 but with just over a minute left three cars disappeared under the carpet forcing the race to be halted. Unfortunately for former ETS race winner Yannick Prumper he was enjoying a great run having worked his way from ninth on the grid to third behind Volker and Marc Rheinard but race director Scotty Ernst had no choice but call for a full re-run of the encounter. The 10 drivers were given an hour to re-prepare their cars for a second attempt at Leg 2.
In the re-run Volker lead from Rheinard like in Leg 1 but on lap 5 the World Champion tried a pass on the Top Qualifier causing the Yokomo to flip. Rheinard waited but the incident was enough to allow Xray’s Alexander Hagberg into the lead. Hagberg withstood intense pressure from Volker, who in turn had to contend with Rheinard, but three corners from the finish the Swede flipped his T3’11. This allowed Volker, followed by Rheinard, back through to take the leg and the overall victory as Hagberg recovered for 3rd with Freddy Sudhoff 4th and Elliot Harper, who started at the back of the grid claiming 5th. Volker will sit out the final race of the day and let Rheinard, Hagberg and Sudhoff battle it out for the runners-up spot.
In the second leg of the Xray Pro-Stock A-Main, there was a less dramatic first lap allowing Eric Dankel to lead from start to finish. The winner of the opening leg Alexander Stocker was fourth after he and Martin Hofer touched while battling for second. Hofer, who set the fastest lap of the race, held the spot with Stocker’s out of shape Hot Bodies loosing a place to Denmark’s Martin Lissau who held on for 3rd.
