Matrix Modified
Michal Orlowski is in the form of his life. He won Q3 here on Saturday morning and is already the overall TQ of the Matrix Modified class. Awesomatix factory driver Lucas Urbain showed that he is still there as he took second for the round just 0.7 seconds behind Orlowski. Adam Izsay took third place and has (almost) secured second on the grid for the finals – what an amazing result for the rising Xray star. Simon Lauter and Marc Rheinard rounded out the top five in an interesting qualifying session. Q4 will be up next, and we are looking for the rest of the A-Main grid to get set. There are some big names on the back foot now – can they make the fnal?
