Volker completes clean sweep, Hagberg to start 2nd
Despite having already secured the overall TQ honours in Q3, Ronald Volker didn’t let up in the final qualifier completing a clean sweep of qualifying at the Czech Republic ETS season opener. The Yokomo driver topped Q4 with the faster 5-minute run of the weekend outpacing Team Xray’s Alexander Hagberg by 9/10ths with Awesomatix driver Freddy Sudhoff third. Also posting his fastest qualifier, the second place would secure Hagberg second on the grid for tomorrow’s finals, his time deciding the tie breaker between himself and Sudhoff who will start third. Finishing the round fourth, that is where Marc Rheinard will start the A-Main making it four different manufacturers at the front of the grid. Best represented on the grid will be Team Yokomo who in addition to defending champion Volker will have Naoto Matsukura and Yannic Prumper starting 5th and 7th respectively.
In the Xray Pro Stock class, which went to the final round of qualifying to decide who would be Top Qualifier, it is Serpent’s Jan Amser who took the honours despite a bad Q4. Defending Champion Marek Cerny TQ’d the round to back up his Q1 run but his time was 3/10ths shy of what he needed to take the tie break from Amser, who takes his first Pro Stock TQ honours. Also Top Qualifier of the Hobby Wing Formula class here in Hrotovice of which he is the defending champion, Asmer becomes the first driver in the ETS’s 7 season history to TQ two classes.
