Wilck tops Q2
Viktor Wilck has topped the second round of qualifying here in Warsaw, Poland at the fourth round of the 2009/2010 Xenon Racing backed Euro Touring Series. The Tamiya Racing Factory driver produced a 19 lap run in 05:11.871 with his team-mate and Q1 pace setter Marc Rheinard second with a time of 5:14.184. The Swede described the run as OK but feels there is potential to go faster after he drove on the safe side when Rheinard rolled his TRF416 X while on a potential TQ run. Rheinard, who set a new fastest lap of 16.141 during the round, lost almost 2 seconds when he caught a dot on lap 5 and then had another moment on lap 14 which he believes was caused by a tyre coming unglued.
A superb run by German teenager Lars Treder took him to the third fastest time for the round with a low 18 lap pace. Driving a Tamiya, Treder is confident that with a shortly application time of additive he can break 19 laps next time out. Another strong run, David Ehrbar was the fastest non Tamiya driver with his Xray stopping the clock in the fourth fastest time just ahead of Czech driver Michal Bok.
Team Xray driver Martin Hudy completed the Top 6 with a poor run by his standards. Having broken his T3 on the warm-up for Q1 the Slovak ace said he just drove too careful but now that he has some points on the board he can push again.
In Pro Stock Alexander Stocker again set the pace but he was pushed hard by by fellow Hot Bodies driver Tommy Bergfeldt who ended up just over a second behind. On lap times the two stars of the European Pro Stock scene were seperated by 13/1000 of second. Germany’s Jan Gehrig backed up his impressive Q1 effort to again complete the Top 3 with his Xray.
