Max Mächler (Awesomatix Team Manager) is in second for the first time. But 2 points are nothing, nothing at all. XRAY definitely has strong drivers in the field, there’s no question about that. Because now the poker game begins, as each team can only field a driver a maximum of three times. The team managers are certainly running out of top guns 😉 Especially in Modified, Awesomatix has the stronger driver field. There is no XRAY points supplier. Unless David (Xray Team Manager) uses a joker for this or has he already used it? But if we look at the tech charts at 21.5 Stock, P1-P4 are occupied by XRAYs. So there is room for David to choose strong drivers from other classes.
We can assume that it will develop into a duel at the top.
Who else will finish on the podium?
At the start of the season, we assumed that Mugen Seiki would be able to stay within reach of the podium. At the moment, it looks as if Schumacher will not give Mugen Seiki a break and remain within striking distance. But here too. The rule 😉 that Michal Orlowski can only be entered three times also applies to Mr Points Supplier. The formula drivers or Frontis could perhaps help out with Schumacher here.
But to hold on to the podium, the Mugen Seiki drivers should step up their game a little. There’s certainly room for improvement. Ronald (Mugen Team Manager) will certainly already be working on various scenarios.
What remains?
Due to the change of some Yokomo drivers, ARC has a good chance of snatching 4th place. Especially as there will be ideal indoor training opportunities for some ARC drivers in the north of Germany. The ARC team will be prepared in Daun and Wiener Neustadt.
Who guessed what?
Fortunately, only one person knows 😉 That much can be said, now the strategic and forward-looking decisions for the last two rounds have to be made. It’s fair to say that at least two of the three of them are already a little bit in the dark. Mugen Seiki will certainly not allow third place to be taken away from them and Awesomatix will not be satisfied with second place in Wiener Neustadt. The last word has not yet been spoken.
But perhaps Schumacher will come up with that one brilliant tactical move and secure 3rd place. 60 points is quite a few, but as you can see from RD1 and RD2, it’s definitely achievable.
Background information
How are the points calculated?
The points scored by a team/constructor per ETS event are determined on the basis of the results of the individual drivers from the RC Manager and presented in a separate ranking list.
Why can’t I see the drivers of the team managers?
Currently, the team managers do not want the information to be published. Especially with regard to the Joker, it could lead to discussions in the respective team and these should understandably be avoided. The tactical procedure in such manager games is not always immediately clear and understandable.
Why do I only see the data two days later?
This will change from Daun onwards and the points will be displayed virtually in real time. As soon as new points are scored via the RC Manager, the ETS Constructors Championship table will be updated automatically.
