Matrix Modified
Big win for Yannic Prümper and the Yokomo BD11
The win was on the line between Yannic Prümper and top qualifier Ronald Völker in the last A-Main of the Matrix Modified class. At the start, Ronald was leading the race for the first lap until Yannic found a place to pass the Mugen Seiki in front of him with his Yokomo car. Ronald dropped back to fourth and was running behind Krapp, Rheinard, and race leader Prümper.
Ronald was able to find a way around the Yokomo of Christopher Krapp after the first minute and closed the gap to the second placed Awesomatix A800MMX of Marc Rheinard quickly. Closing a gap is one thing, but overtaking is the most difficult task in racing – especially in modified. Ronald was right on the rear of Reinhard’s car, and we saw a great show of high class racing until Völker touched Rheinards car in the right section of the track in lap 20. Ronald`s race was done, and Rheinard was able to drive to the end with an inwards folded body shell. For sure this was not an intentional contact from Völker as he and Rheinard are knowing each other so well on track since more than a decade, but sometimes things like this are happening when it comes down to ultra close racing.
Christopher Krapp took advantage of that and finished second behind Yannic Prümper, who had a little bit of breathing room after the unlucky Rheinard/Völker accident. Yannic crossed the line in first place after the five-minute race and was celebrating his first ETS win since a long time. Ronald Völker still finished second for Mugen Seiki, and Christopher Krapp took the final spot on the podium for Yokmo. A great result, especially for the Yokomo team with their new BD11 car. With 4 cars in the top 6, Yokomo was the strongest brand in the Matrix Modified class here at ETS RD1 in Apeldoorn.
Here are the overall results of the Matrix Modified class together with the equipment the drivers used in Apeldoorn.
