Orlowski loses close battle for overall TQ against Völker by 0.104
Ronald Völker will start from the best spot on the grid when we will head into the triple A-Mains with A1 later today. Völker took the win in Q4 with his LRP powered Mugen Seiki MTC-3 and was able to outpace the Schumacher car of Michal Orlowski by one tenth of a second.
Orlowski was very close to the overall TQ (fastest lap of the heat 15.260) but he will line up second on the grid now. Dominic Greiner had a great run in Q4 where he would finish in third place ahead of Simon Lauter and Sören Sparbier.

Kriz Jun. celebrates first Pro Stock TQ at Arena Nova
We knew that Jaroslav Kriz Jun. has a lot of talent and potential, but maybe most people did not expect him to TQ the event here in Austria. When he added another TQ run in Q4, the pole position was sealed for him and the Xray team. A really impressive performance from the Slovakian youngster.
Adam Izsay finished second behind Kriz Jun. in Q4 and was followed by the Mugen of Sören Sparbier, with the top three only separated by eight tenths of a second.
Ollie Bultynck and Jan Ratheisky completed the top 5 in the last qualifier. Finals will be up next and Jaroslav Kriz Jun. will be under a lot of pressure with all the big names lining up behind him!

Pole for Buchhalt and the IRIS team
Iris racer Matheo Buchhalt took another win in Q4 and will start from the very important pole position into the triple finals. Buchhalt is in a fantastic form this weekend and his Iris car is very fast and consistent on track.
Buchhalt took the win in Q4 by the small advantage of 0.055 (!) of a second from the Awesomatix of Kevin Schmid, and our new FWD champion Phil Langner. Adam Southgate and Stefan Schulz completed the top 5.

Anderson snatches last second TQ from Ehrbar and Stankowitz
Mister EAM, Eric Anderson from the United States of America, will start on pole position into the finals. Q4 of the Master’s class was a dog-fight between Ehrbar, Stankowitz, and Anderson. Stankowitz had a great pace but a bigger mistake at half-time of the race ended his hopes for the overall TQ.
David Ehrbar and Eric Anderson had been on a very similar pace for the entire run and the lead changed many times on the scoring board. In the last lap, Anderson took the lead from Ehrbar once again to take the win by the small gap of 0.3 seconds over Ehrbar. The result from Q4 handed the TQ over to Anderson and the Awesomatix team in the very last minute.
Manuel Stankowitz (Mugen Seiki) will start second on the grid, and David Ehrbar missed the pole position this time lining up third for Xray. After this set of qualifying rounds, we can expect some great races in the finals form all these guys!

Anthes claims first ETS TQ for RC Maker
German racer Daniel Anthes will start from the sweet spot into the triple finals with his RC Maker SP1 Hara Edition car. Anthes, a former LRP Touring Car Masters stock class race winner, showed that he still has the skills and earned this TQ after delivering some very clean runs on track.
Kristian Jensen from Denmark will start second behind him and is still in a good position for the championship. Cedric Gridelet will start from P5 on the grid and championship leader David Reip is qualified on P7 for the triple A-Mains. A real tough thriller is ahead of all drivers in the 21.5 Stock class. Who will win the championship title?

Hudy is top qualifier at Austrian ETS
Martin Hudy will start on pole into the upcoming triple finals. He won two rounds of qualifying, so did David Ehrbar who managed to win the last round ahead of Michal Wojcik and Jacques Libar. However, Martin Hudy had the fastest overall runtime to his favour (posted in Q2) which earned him the overall TQ in the Matrix Formula class. Thrilling finals are ahead of us when the Xray drivers will battle for the win…
