Matrix Modified
Mugen`s Völker takes A3 to secure second overall
Ronald Völker (Mugen Seiki) took the win in the last final of the Matrix Modified class. Völker started from pole as race winner Coelho had to sit out A3 and he crossed the finish line 1.4 seconds ahead of Yannic Prümper who had a great fight with Marc Rheinard during the entire race. With his second place in A3, Yannic will step onto the podium together with Coelho and Völker as Rheinard had to take fourth overall here in Apeldoorn. Yokomo`s Christopher Krapp completes the overall top 5.
We talked to the overall top 3 after the trophy ceremony and here is what they had to say:
It was a perfect weekend for me and my team as we wanted to achieve the best possible result with our new X4 platform. Now we walk away from the Netherlands with the win and we couldn`t ask for more. Also for myself it is great to be back in competition as I could not attend a touring car race in the last 12 months.
Bruno Coelho, Xray/Hobbywing
For sure I wanted to win this race here in Apeldoorn but P2 is not a bad result in the end. I was happy with my LRP powered Mugen Seiki car all weekend and the gap to Bruno was small all the time. He did a good job and deserved the win. I also want to point out that it is really amazing to see the growing numbers of Mugen cars in the pits and I am happy that Eric made the Main here as well.
Ronald Völker, Mugen Seiki/LRP
My weekend was very good and I am absolutely satisfied with third overall. I had a really good pace and tried everything to close the gap to Bruno and Ronald with my Dash powered Yokomo. With finishing third here in the Netherlands after finishing on the podium at RD2 in Arena33 as well it shows that we are on the right way with our car. We had three cras in the A-Main with Krappi taking 5th and Loic 7th overall.

Xray ProStock
Lauter wins big for Awesomatix
In the Xray ProStock class we saw another super close and eventful final in the last leg. It was all about Tim Benson (Mugen Seiki) and Simon Lauter (Awesomatix) and Simon was able to put huge pressure on Benson directly after the start.
As the pressure reached the maximum, Benson and Lauter went on the main straight side by side and the cars touched each other just a little bit. Nothing big at all but enough to let Benson`s car fly of the straight into the barriers. He could continue his run but was not able to recover anymore. As it was just a normal racing incident, Simon Lauter was taking full advantage of it bringing home the overall victory in the Xray ProStock class at ETS RD3 in Apeldoorn. What a great result for Lauter in this field of world class ProStock drivers!
Tim Benson finished second and Lukas Ellerbrock (Xray) in third on the podium.

Our race reporter talked to Elibert Sievers during the trophy ceremony and a super happy Elibert said:
I am super, super happy with my result. Before the race my goal was to make the A-Main. And then I found myself on pole position which was an amazing feeling. After A1 was a mess for me I am even more proud and happy that I still could manage to get everything together in A2 and A3. Winning an ETS race feels really great!
