Since the start of ETS Season #15 2022/23, we are giving some “special” awards to persons and drivers who have attracted attention during our races. This is a way to highlight them, and to show everybody what the ETS is all about. It is not only a highly competitive racing series, but also a family which is enjoying their events together. A lot of talents have grown up in the Euro Touring Series and have made their way up to the top level of our sport. Here are our special award winners from ETS RD4 in Luxembourg:
“YOUNGEST RACER”
This is the newest award at the ETS, and we gave it away for the very first time. Lucas Ott from Germany received it during the trophy presentation, and he was so happy about getting this award at his first ever ETS race. He was in Luxembourg together with his father, Sascha Ott, and he raced in the Orca 17.5 Stock class where he finished 24th overall.
The 11-year-old drove really good and had a lot of fun with his beautiful “Sonic” airbrush body shell from Brush PRC on the track. His father Sascha watched all the races from the side-line and was proud to see his son doing so well in the Mini Circuit “Ville de Luxembourg”. We hope to see Lucas and Sascha at many more races in the future!
“SPIRIT OF THE EVENT”
The award went to Abidallah Al-fihan and Mihai Iancu from Romania. They travelled to Luxembourg all the way from Bukarest, the capitol or their home country Romania. It was a long drive of 2000 km (!) one way for them, and they enjoyed the weekend at ETS RD4 a lot.
Abidallah raced in the Matrix Modified class (22nd), and Mihai participated in the Hobbywing Frontwheel class (20th). We are very proud that there are people all around Europe traveling to our races, especially when it is such a big distance. The “Spirit of the Event” award is our way to say THANK YOU to Abidallah and Mihai for coming to the ETS all the way from Bukarest!
“ONE TO WATCH”
Benjamin Elbisser was “one to watch” for sure in Luxembourg. He is getting better and better from race to race and was racing in the Matrix Modified, and Awesomatix Pro Stock class at ETS RD4. Together with his father he is working hard to improve, and he finished 14th overall in the Pro Stock class in Luxembourg. His result in Modified was even more impressive as Benjamin was able to bump up from the B-Main into the A-Main. He started and finished in 11th place which was a great result for him. We will watch Benjamin progressing in the future and we are happy to have him together with his father in our ETS family!
