Round three of qualifying is in the books and we have seen the first TQ decision here at the ETS season finale. Adreas Stiebler will start from first on the grid in the Scorpion Formula class, while all other TQs will be decided in the upcoming last qualifier of ETS season #15 2022/23. Until then, read our Q3 report and find out what happened!
Matrix Modified
Another TQ run for Völker as he takes Q3 by 0.049 from Orlowski
The third round of Matrix Modified qualifying was a show of world class rc car racing. Michal Orlowski had the best start into the heat and was leading from Rheinard and Völker in the first 3 minutes. His gap was at 0.7 seconds before Völker found his rythm and closed the gap until he was leading by 0.1 to 0.2 seconds ahead of Orlowski and Rheinard. They were matching laptimes lap after lap, and in the end it was Völker who had the best outcome of the heat with his second TQ run of the event. Orlowski and Rheinard followed in second and third, while Ronnefalk and Krapp scored another top 5 finish as well.
The decision for the overall TQ comes down to the line between Orlowski and Völker in the last round of qualifying, with Marc Rheinard also having a chance to grab second place on the grid if he can win the last one. For the Yokomo drivers Yannic Prümper and Christopher Krapp, as well as Awesomatix Lucas Urbain, the chances for the title are gone after there is no more chance to TQ the event for them!

Awesomatix ProStock
Pro Stock Q3 goes to Ellerbrock while Lauter is already ETS champion
The third round of qualifying was taken by Awesomatix driver Lukas Ellerbrock. His advantage from second place finisher Patrick Danielsen (Xray) was 0.5 seconds at the end of the run. Oliver Krähemann (Awesomatix) continued to score great results here in Daun with a third place for the round, and Olivier Bultynck (Awesomatix) followed him in fourth place. Mugen Seiki`s Sören Sparbier posted the fifth fastest time coming out of the second fastest group and is sitting in fourth place overall now! Simon Lauter had a terrible first lap of the race and lost some seconds, which let him stop the car atfter three minutes. The decision for the overall TQ is moved into the upcoming last round of qualifying and everybody is already excited about the outcome of Q4.
However, with Max Mächler not having a chance to TQ the race anymore, Simon Lauter is already the inofficial Awesomatix Pro Stock champion of ETS Season #15 2022/23 – congratulations Simon!

Hobbywing Frontwheel
Sparbier wins Q3 in front of Schulz and Niemann
In the third round of Hobbywing Frontwheel qualifying, Sören Sparbier (Mugen Seiki) was the driver posting a strong TQ run. He was the only driver making the extra lap (16 lap run), which allowed him to make a small mistake in this last lap without loosing any position!
Behind Sparbier, Xray`s Stefan Schulz finished second, with Meik Niemann, Roman Borschel, and Ulrich Dinger completing the top 5.
When looking on the overall championship, it seems like Steven Olsen has lost all chances with sitting on a B-Main position right now. He will need kind of a miracle to make the A-Main, or at least finish in front of Schulz at the end of the weekend. It is not decided yet, but everything looks very very promising for Stefan Schulz now!

Orca 17.5 Stock
Donath takes early morning Q3 and moves up to the top spot
Jasmin Donath is back in the game after a stunning TQ run on Saturday morning. She posted the fastest TQ run of the weekend in this class so far and is now in a comfortable first position. Behind her, Dominik Reile took the second place, only 0.9 seconds behind Jasmin Donath. The fight for the title is getting closer and closer between Dominik and Jasmin now and we are optimistic to see some epic battles in the finals between them. Kevin Schmid, Roman Borschel, and Daniel Pöhlmann completed the top 5 during the third round of Orca 17.5 Stock qualifying.

ToniSport 40+ Masters
TQ decision shifted to Q4 as Stankowitz wins third round of Masters qualifying
Manuel Stankowitz (Awesomatix) was sending out a signal to his competitors as he took the win in the early Saturday morning qualifier at the Sporthotel Grafenwald in Daun. This TQ run brought him back into the fight for the pole position. However, it is still Michel Zierold (Awesomatix) with the fastest runtime (from Q2) on his scorecard but the TQ run was important for Stankowitz to secure a starting spot ahead of Toni Mateo in the fight for the championship. Andreas Myrberg (Iris), Caspar Morgen (Xray), and Torsten Baggendorf (Awesomatix) completed the top 5.

Scorpion Formula
Three out of three – pole position for Schumacher`s Stiebler at ETS RD6
Andreas Stiebler continued where he stopped on Friday and posted his third consecutive TQ run here in Daun. He will start from pole position into the finals which can be a huge benefit on the very technical track. After finishing second in all rounds of qualifying so far, René Kölbel will start from second place into the finals, and we are already looking forward to some great final races in the Scorpion Formula class. Gergö Valent, Herbert Weber, and Jacques Libar finished third, fourth, and fifth for the round!
