One day after the penultimate round of the current ETS season, the championship rankings are updated and you can check the actual rankings now. The season final in Daun will become a thriller for sure as no single championship is decided yet – something unique in the history of the Euro Touring Series.
The Sporthotel Grafenwald in Daun will be the place to be from 26. – 29. of January 2023. If you like to sign up for the race, just do it and join us in the beautiful Eifel region. With already 320 entries, we are expecting another amazing weekend of ETS racing to bring a phantastic season to an end!
“Matrix Modified”
Völker climbs from four to one with five drivers still having a chance for the title in the premier class of the ETS
With his win in the modified class, Ronald Völker (Mugen Seiki) has brought his team and himself in a much better situation. He climbed from fourth place all the way to the top and is now tied on points (903) with Marc Rheinard (Awesomatix). While Völker has two TQ points in his bag, he is now ranked first ahead of Rheinard who claimed one pole position this season. Behind them, Christopher Krapp (901 points) and Yannic Prümper (900 points) still have a chance to win (and defend) the overall ETS title in Daun when Rheinard and Völker will not have a great race there. The same counts for fifth placed Lucas Urbain (899 points). He is four points behind the leaders and needs a TQ and win weekend in Daun with the others not finishing second or third. Difficult, but not impossible!
“Awesomatix ProStock”
The pendulum swings towards Lauter after a dominant weekend at the Trans World Hotel
After a strong weekend, Simon Lauter walked away with the maximum amount of points from Hann. Münden. A big break for the defending champion in the Awesomatix ProStock class. Before the weekend, he was on the same level of points as his Awesomatix team manager Max Mächler. But after Mächler finished only fourth at the last race, Lauter is having a three point advantage now which he will carry over the christmas days into 2023 and the season final in Daun. However, nothing is decided yet and Mächler still has the chance to win it when something unexpected will happen to Lauter (in case of results) at ETS RD6.
“Hobbywing Frontwheel”
Podium finish bringing Schulz back to the top while Olsen and Borschel will hunt him “from dusk till DAUN”
Stefan Schulz (Xray) was able to finish the race in Hann. Münden in front of his main championshio contender Steven Olsen (Awesomatix). They took third and fourth places behind the very strong driving Roman Borschel (Awesomatix), and Sören Sparbier (Serpent). This result brought Schulz back into the championship lead by three points from Olsen (905 to 902 points).
But after a very dominant performance from Roman Borschel in Hann. Münden, we should also have an eye on him at the last race in Daun. Borschel is now sitting in third position overall, five points behind Schulz, and he has noting to loose at the season final of the Euro Touring Series.
“Orca 17.5 Stock”
Reile`s advantage melted down to only one point ahead of ETS season final
The racing weekend in Hann. Münden brought even more tension into the championship fight of the Orca 17.5 Stock class. Jasmin Donath won her second race of the season and closed the gap to reigning champion Dominik Reile to the smallest margin of only 1 point (905 to 904 points). Jasmin Donath is in a great form and she drove totally unimpressed from all the things going on around her.
Dominik Reile finished fifth in Hann. Münden and lost some ground again. He is still benefitting from his perfect start into the season with two TQs and race wins, and another TQ in Luxembourg. He will be hard to beat on the tie breaker, but another perfect weekend from Donath could earn her the overall championship title as well. Kevin Schmid, Joshua Winkler, and Daniel Pöhlmann are some points behind the leaders and only a miracle can take the championship away from Reile or Donath. It is going to be an epic weekend of racing in Daun.
“ToniSport 40+ Masters”
Stankowitz now equal on points with Mateo after brilliant job at German ETS
Toni Mateo was not able to attend the ETS race in Germany, and Manuel Stankowitz took the maximum out of the situation by closing the gap to the Spaniard completeley. Both will arrive to the season final in Daun with 906 points, and the showdown will be all between these two drivers. They both have two TQs, two race wins, and one second place to their favour and it will be a race to the finish line until we know who will be the best 40+ driver at the ETS. Can Toni Mateo defend his title? Or can Manuel Stankowitz win it for the first time in his RC racing carreer? Daun will tell us!
“Scorpion Formula”
New champion to be crowned in Daun with showdown between Kölbel and Stiebler
After Jan Ratheisky was not able to attend the race due to sickness, it is now clear that he will not have any chance for the championship at the final race in Daun. He was only on the line at two races this season (which he won both), and will not be able to score enough points to get back into the fight.
The showdown for the overall ETS title will be between René Kölbel (Xray) and Andreas Stiebler (Schumacher).
Kölbel is now ahead by one single point, but Stiebler has two TQ points to his favour (Kölbel only one). The last race of the season will bring the decision for the title and we are already excited for the big show in Daun at the end of January 2023!
