The fourth race of the current ETS season is leading us to Luxembourg and the unbelievable track of the LMCC club. Some ETS racers know the track from the past when the Euro Touring Series races there three times between 2013 and 2015. All drivers who will face the challenge of the track for the first time can look forward to race on one of the best tracks in Europe!
A unique track with amazing signature sections
Run by the Luxembourg Model Car Club, which started out on a nearby ‘Park & Ride’ car park, the track was built in 1999 after the club reached a long-term agreement to rent a plot of land from the City of Luxembourg. Funding the building of the track themselves, the club hosted its first race in May 2000. Since then the LMCC has hosted European Championships for 1:5 (2003), 1:10 Electric Touring (2009) and twice for 1:8 Onroad (2004 & 10).
When we are looking at pictures of the track it is easy to see that we are talking about a pure racetrack in a natural environment. But some of the most fascinating things are hard to notice on pictures only. With a 310-meter-long lap, the track is most famed for its Laguna Seca corkscrew style corner which was added in 2007 when part of the infield was also modified. The drop of the corkscrew is in the region of 2 metres and is only truly appreciated when one physically walks back up it. At the end of the straight the track features a 10 degree banked corner which is super fun to drive through.

Luckily, the well-known ETS racer Lucas Urbain (Awesomatix) was kind enough to do a track walk with us. The LMCC is kind of his “Outdoor Home Track”, and Lucas knows every secret about going fast there. Enjoy the video with Lucas and Patrick!
Let`s go racing
Everything is set to go in Luxembourg and we are looking forward to Thursday when the free practice will kick off. Enjoy the weekend of racing at the Euro Touring Series and have a great time with your friends, teammates, and our ETS family!
