Leg 2 Update – Volker’s view
Having read our report and watched our video footage of the chaotic Leg 2 of the A-Main, Ronald Volker has come to us to give his views of the race. Commenting on the first incident with Yannic Prumper, he said with Prumper’s car totally stopped in the apex of the corner, last year’s winner checking up to avoid contact with Rheinard, he had no where to go and it was never his intention to hit his own team-mate. He added that he was at the same time also trying to defend from Andy Moore who was right on his bumper. Volker added while the incident was in no way intentional he would have accepted a ‘Stop & Go’ for the incident.
On his coming together with Marc Fischer he said it is clear from the video that his rival’s S411 was unsettled after jumping the corner and with the door open he tried to pass but Fischer move back across to block and that is how they ended up clashing. Volker said he can understand Fischer being upset but the incident was bad for both of them.
The final incident, which happened on the straight in the closing laps of the race, Volker took responsibility for. Running second and trying to catch Hagberg, Volker grip rolled coming onto the straight and said he didn’t pay enough attention when rejoining the track resulting in his spectacular crash which saw Rheinard’s Tamiya get airborne.
