Matrix Modified
Michal Orlowski took his third win of the current ETS season here in Daun. This amazing result puts him where he wants to be before the season finale in March – in the absolute battle for the championship. Orlowski has the best cards in his hands now and when he can keep up his current form, it is hard to imagine that anybody can beat him in Vienna.
After the start of A2, Orlowski was leading the race with Lucas Urbain and Adam Izsay following him in a couple of tenths. The Schumacher car of Orlowski was rock steady, and Michal made no single mistake until he crossed the finish line under the applause of the audience. Lucas Urbain was coming closer to Orlowski in the last lap of the race but Urbain was riding the curb at the entry of the left side chicane too much. His Awesomatix car crashed into the fence. This allowed Adam Izsay and Marc Rheinard going by. Rheinard overtook Izsay in the last chicane and finished second in A2 – what a move fromn the five time world champ. Adam Izsay, Simon Lauter, and Ronald Völker rounded out the top 5 while Urbain dropped back to P6. Michal Orlowski is the man of the season so far with winning all three races which he attended – congratulations!
Awesomatix ProStock
Bultynck wins big at the Sporthotel Grafenwald in Daun
Ollie Bultynck had everything under control in A2 of the Awesomatix Pro Stock class. Bultynck was leading until a small bubble in lap 10 allowed Izsay and Sparbier to close on him again. The top four drivers, Bultynck, Izsay, Sparbier, and Ellerbrock were driving around the track with identical gaps to each other – Pro Stock racing at its best. Another smal lmistake from Bultynck in the last minute of the race let the crowd react with fear, but Bultynck was able to cross the line in P1. He celebrated his second win of the season with his dad and his team mates once he came down the driver stand. The decision for the overall championship will be on the line in a couple of weeks at Arena Nova in Austria.
