Yokomo back 2010/11 Euro Touring Series

Yokomo back 2010/11 Euro Touring Series

With the start of the 2010/11 Euro Touring Series just one week away the organisers of the world’s biggest r/c touring car championship are delighted to announce they have concluded a deal with Yokomo that will see the Japanese company become title sponsor.

The fourth season of the ETS, the championship will be known as the ‘Yokomo Euro Touring Series’ and backs up the company’s continued commitment to the competition r/c market in Europe in what has been an ultra successful season for their BD5 Touring Car.  2010 has been a very fruitful year for the team with factory driver Ronald Volker claiming five major titles in Europe winning the DHI Cup, both the Indoor and Outdoor EFRA European Championships, the LRP Masters along with the highly competitive German National Championships.

As part of their title sponsorship Yokomo, who competed in selected rounds of last season’s ETS, will field a full factory assault on the Euro Touring Series as they aim to become the first manufacturer to topple Tamiya’s domination of the modified class over the past three seasons.

Speaking about their new partnership with Yokomo legendary race announcer Scotty Ernst, who together with Uwe Rheinard created the ETS, said, ’We are delighted to welcome Yokomo onboard as title sponsor for what is going to be our biggest and best season yet.  I have known the guys at Yokomo for many years through my work as a race announcer and it is great to have this opportunity now to work together with a company I have so much respect for.  From a racing point of view it is also great that the Yokomo team will compete in all our races as together with Ronald Volker they are one of the most competitive packages in Electric Touring Car in the World and that will add to the spectacle for everyone attending ETS events this year.’

The six round 2010/11 ‘Yokomo Euro Touring Series’ kicks off next weekend, 15-17 October, when a record entry of almost 300 drivers will desend on the town of Kastellaun in Germany for the season opener. Once again the ETS will continue to use hand-out tyres from Xenon Racing and a controlled speedo & motor in the Pro Stock and Hobby classes from Speedpassion who have been a partner of the series since its creation back in 2007.

Janssen takes final qualifier, Stocker on pole

Rob Janssen

After a difficult day yesterday Rob Janssen bounced back this morning in Andernach to TQ the final round of Pro-Stock qualifying.  The Team Corally driver, who is running the new prototype Phi for the first time this weekend, got the event off to a good start by setting the pace in Friday practice but struggled yesterday when qualifying got underway.  Needing a good result to assure himself a place in the A Final, the 19-year-old changed to a harder shock setting which transformed the car, allowing him to put in the fastest 5-minute run of the four rounds of heats.  The Dutch driver, who took the round from local ace Michael Kiesewetter, will line up fifth on the grid.

Alexander Stocker

Having TQ’d the opening two heats, Alexander Stocker secures pole and the valuable championship point which the Top Qualifier honour carries putting the 2009/10 title beyond the reach of Daniel Wohlgemuth who had a very slight mathematical chance of winning.  Running a Yokomo BD5 fitted with a rear gear diff, the last two qualifiers saw Stocker drop off the pace slightly and could only set the 4th fastest time on both occasions.  The German said his car, which is being engineered by Martin Hofer, is real smooth to drive but needs to be more aggressive so he can get more speed out of it.

Wohlgemuth, who has one win to his credit this season, will start from second ahead of fellow Xray driver Kiesewetter who knows his home track very well.  Completing the German domination of the front end of the grid Tony Streit will carry No.4 on his Hot Bodies but needs a change of luck having failed to finished both Q3 & 4.

1. Stocker Alexander (DE) – 310

Wilck takes Leg 3 to join Hara & Rheinard on podium

Modified Top 3

Top Qualifier Viktor Wilck finally came good to take victory in the last race of the day here at the fifth round of the Euro Touring Series in the Netherlands.  Having failed to finish the opening leg due to a stripped spur gear and finishing only fourth in the next after he slid out of the lead, the Tamiya Racing Factory driver had his first problem free run and made winning look easy. ‘Everything worked and the car was really good’, was how Wilck summed up his win over Marc Rheinard and Atsushi Hara.

Atsushi Hara

Having pulled up early in Leg 2, Rheinard managed to fight off a strong challenge from outgoing ETS Champion Jilles Groskamp and Hara who had already wrapped up the overall Dutch victory after he powered his way to victory in A-Main 1 & 2.  Rheinard said his car was slightly better than the previous final but it was still very loose and this meant he could do nothing to challenge his team-mate Wilck.  In the end however second was good enough for the German to claim the second step on the podium and put the ETS title beyond the reach of his rivals.

Hara who literally blasted past the world class field in the opening finals, took third as he pipped European Champion Groskamp by 4/1000ths of a second on the final dash to the finish line.  Running GM electrics this weekend the former World Champion was unable to take full advantage of its ‘horse power’ after the diff on his new TCX went off early in the race. Not wanting to get involved in the battle ahead knowing that the drivers where still battling to join him on the podium Hara said he tried a different set-up for the race and before hitting diff troubles said it worked really well.

Atsushi Hara

Beaten to the line by Hara, Groskamp was disappointed not to make the podium at his home race, but the outgoing ETS Champion said the weekend had been very productive in terms of gathering data on both chassis and electrics set-up. That information will be put to good use next weekend at the World Championship warm-up race in Germany.  Also traveling from this race to Burgdorf is Hara and his HB team-mate Andy Moore who claimed 10th overall today. Interestingly Tamiya/Speedpassion team-mates Rheinard and Wilck will missed the Warm-Up race instead traveling to the US tomorrow for the Reedy Race.

Pro Stock Top 3

In Pro Stock Oliver Franke put in a great drive backing up his Leg 2 win to take the overall victory from last year’s Dutch ETS winner Rob Janssen. Franke was clearly the quicker driver again with his Xray but the German showed great patience as he sat behind Top Qualifier Vasco Christiaanse before making his move at the end of the straight as the race reach the mid point.  Once past the Dutchman the ETS Poland podium finisher pulled clear to claim the leg and with it his first international race victory. For Kyosho backed Christiaanse second in the leg would only be good enough to see him take the final step of the podium behind his countryman Janssen.  In the Hobby Class Germany’s Oliver Günther took overall honours from championship leader Michal Orlowski ending the young Polish drivers run of ETS wins.
