Matrix Modified
Urbain takes the big trophy while Völker and Rheinard had to settle for second and third after chaotic A2
A2– The second A-Main was like “Merry Christmas” for Lucas Urbain!
After the start, Ronald Völker`s Mugen car got loose in the first corner and collected Marc Rheinard`s Awesomatix car as Marc could not avoid to hit Völker anymore. Tim Wahl and Michele Manzo took over second and third place while Völker and Rheinard dropped back to the end of the field. Lucas Urbain took the win and his second ever ETS victory with a huge gap of 5 seconds after the huge carnage behind him. He was awaiting a hard fight, but in the end, it was a (well-deserved) walk in the park for the Awesomatix factory driver. Congratulations to Lucas Urbain and the Awesomatix team!
A3– In the third and last A-Main of the Matrix Modified class, the fight for second and third overall was going on between Ronald Völker and Marc Rheinard. Marc would have needed to win ahead of Völker to snatch second place away from the Mugen driver, but Völker delivered and won A3 ahead of Rheinard, Prümper, Krapp, and Wahl. The overall result was: Urbain, Völker, Rheinard, Wahl, and Prümper.

A2– Olivier Bultynck was on a mission in the second final of the Awesomatix Pro Stock class. He was all over Adam Izsay for the entire five minutes of the race and they were putting on an amazing show of respectful and very close racing. In lap 6, Ollie Bultynck tried to put a move on Izsay but the Hungarian racer was able to stay ahead coming onto the straightway. Ollie Bultynck was never giving up and was hoping for Izsay to make a mistake but that did never happen and Izsay celebrated a more than well-deserved race win by 0.2 of a second from Bultynck. Lukas Ellerbrock, Jan Ratheisky, and Enrico Jung finished third, fourth, and fifth in A2. Congratulations to Adam Izsay and Xray for another race win in the Pro Stock class!

The final result saw Izsay, Bultynck, Ellerbrock, Jung, and Ratheisky finishing in the top 5.

Izsay survives critical moment in A2 and wins FWD class in Hann. Münden
A2- Adam Izsay had another perfect start off the line, leading the field around the first laps. Everybody else was driving clean as well in the first minute and not a lot happened. After 2 minutes, it looked like Stankowitz was able to close the gap to Izsay a little bit, but Adam responded immediately with some hot laps.
Lap 10 was bringing the race back to live as Izsay was hitting a curb after the timing loop allowing Stankowitz to be all over him for some corners. Izsay quickly found back into his rhythm and checked out again. Phil Langner was creating pressure on Stankowitz in the last laps of the race, but Manuel was able to stand his ground taking second place behind a well-deserved race winner Adam Izsay who is now super close to win this season`s overall championship.
A3- After Adam Izsay already sealed the victory in A2 he was only watching the race from the sideline. It was all about Manuel Stankowitz to lead the drivers into the last final from the first spot on the grid. Stankowitz saw young Phil Langner and Adam Southgate following him in striking distance for most of the run, but the gaps remained the same and Stankowitz took the win and also second on the podium, joined by Phil Langner in third place!
