Can Völker convert hard-fought pole into victory against Rheinard and Orlowski?
The last round of Cayote Modified qualifying saw Mugen Seiki`s Ronald Völker securing pole position for the triple finals. Völker`s LRP powered MTC-3 started out of the gate on a fresh set of tires and allowed him to open a gap of 1.7 over the Mi9 of Schumacher`s Orlowski during the five-minute run.
Marc Rheinard took third place from Q4 while Dominic Greiner and Alexander Hagberg were completing the topfive. Völker’s strategy originally was to save one of the two tire sets for the finals, but he needed them to seal the TQ in Q4 which means that the top 3 will start on equal used tires into the mains.
Rheinard (2) and Orlowski (3) will for sure try to set Völker under some serious pressure to lead him into a mistake. Serpent ace Greiner still has a set of new tires left for the triple finals which could help him as well to stay close to the frontrunners.
