After the third and fourth round of qualifying, the grid for our triple A-Mains is set to go here at ETS RD5 in Hann. Münden. Everybody is excited for the A-Mains to come with the first round taking place this evening. But before we think about the finals, we like to let you know who made it into the big show at ETS RD5 in Germany.
Matrix Modified
Rheinard wins last round of qualifying but Völker is on pole position
Q3 – Ronald Völker took the third round of Matrix Modified qualifying here in Hann. Münden. It was another super close race between him, Rheinard, and Urbain. Rheinard was leading the race but had some bad luck while lapping a car and lost the deciding tenths in that moment. Völker took the win by 0,6 seconds from Rheinard and Urbain which brought him very close to the overall TQ.
Q4- Long story short: Rheinard won the final round of qualifying from Völker and Urbain. With Völker and Rheinard now equal on TQ runs, Völker`s faster overall runtime was the deciding factor which earned him the pole position. The track here in Hann. Münden is challenging and very technical and the pole position will be a huge benefit as we expect overtaking to be very hard. Everybody is looking forward to A1 which will take place later in the evening and the stage is set for some amazing ETS racing.
Here is, how the drivers will line up for the Matrix Modified A-Main
(Bump up driver to be decided in the first B-Main).

Awesomatix ProStock
Lauter grabs last minute TQ in final qualifier
Q3 – The third round of Awesomatix Pro Stock qualifying produced another TQ run from Tim Benson. The privateer Awesomatix racer outpaced championship contender Simon Lauter again, this time by 1,7 seconds. Olivier Bultynck, Max Mächler, and Adam Izsay completed the top 5.
Q4- The TQ was on the line in Q4 and Simon Lauter was able to steal the pole position from Tim Benson in the last laps of qualifying. Both drivers came out of qualifying with two TQ runs, and in the end, it was Lauter with the better overall runtime (0,220 faster) which brought him on kind of a last minute pole position. As Lauter is a great final racer, it will be very exciting to see if Benson, Bultynck, or Mächler can throw something at him in the finals or not. It is “Game On” in the Awesomatix Pro Stock class at ETS RD5 in Germany!

Hobbywing Frontwheel
Borschel secures pole position at the Trans World Hotel Auefeld
Q3 – Roman Borschel won the third round of FWD qualifying with Steven Olsen and Sören Sparbier in toe. The decision for the overall TQ was shifted to Q4 where Sören Sparbier and Roman Borschel had the best chances to claim the very important pole position. But Sören Sparbiers TQ from Q1 run was slower compared to both TQ runs from Borschel, and Sparbier needed a small miracle ahead of Q4 to take the TQ away from Borschel in the last heat of qualifying. Steven Olsen and Stefan Schulz could, at this point, only hope to get back into the fight for the win from third and fourth on the grid.
Q4 –With his third consecutive TQ run, Roman Borschel sealed the sweet spot for the tripe A-Mains in the final qualifier. Sören Sparbier pushed hard as he also had the chance for the overall TQ, but had to settle for third for the round in front of Daniel Pöhlmann (4th) and Steven Olsen (5th). Manuel Stankowitz took a second place in Q4 (running in the second fastest heat) which secured him 5th position on the grid.

Orca 17.5 Stock
Donath overall TQ after blistering Q3 and Q4 performance
Q3 – Jasmin Donath took the win in the third round of Orca 17.5 Stock qualifying ahead of Daniel Pöhlmann, Roman Borschel, and Henrik Heitsch. Donath`s run was faster then the previous two TQ runs from Roman Borschel, which opened a good chance for Jasmin to snatch the TQ away from Borschel in the last round.
Q4 – It was again the young lady from Berlin (Germany) who drove a brilliant race taking another win from Henrik Heitsch and a much-improved championship leader Dominik Reile. The decision for the overall TQ felt into favour of Donath in the end as she had the faster runs on her side. Roman Borschel will line up second on the grid and Daniel Pöhlmann will attack from third position.

But René Kölbel was very close all time and it looked like he found something on his car (hot lap of the race) to pick up some pace. Andreas Stiebler will have a lot of work to do to bring home the win in the finals, and everything is set to go for a great showdown!
