ETS Q3 Report RD6 Season #15 2022/23
Round three of qualifying is in the books and we have seen the first TQ decision here at the ETS season finale. Adreas Stiebler will start from first on the grid in the Scorpion Formula class, while all other TQs will be decided in the upcoming last qualifier of ETS season #15 2022/23. Until then, read our Q3 report and find out what happened!
Matrix Modified
Another TQ run for Völker as he takes Q3 by 0.049 from Orlowski
The third round of Matrix Modified qualifying was a show of world class rc car racing. Michal Orlowski had the best start into the heat and was leading from Rheinard and Völker in the first 3 minutes. His gap was at 0.7 seconds before Völker found his rythm and closed the gap until he was leading by 0.1 to 0.2 seconds ahead of Orlowski and Rheinard. They were matching laptimes lap after lap, and in the end it was Völker who had the best outcome of the heat with his second TQ run of the event. Orlowski and Rheinard followed in second and third, while Ronnefalk and Krapp scored another top 5 finish as well.
The decision for the overall TQ comes down to the line between Orlowski and Völker in the last round of qualifying, with Marc Rheinard also having a chance to grab second place on the grid if he can win the last one. For the Yokomo drivers Yannic Prümper and Christopher Krapp, as well as Awesomatix Lucas Urbain, the chances for the title are gone after there is no more chance to TQ the event for them!

Awesomatix ProStock
Pro Stock Q3 goes to Ellerbrock while Lauter is already ETS champion
The third round of qualifying was taken by Awesomatix driver Lukas Ellerbrock. His advantage from second place finisher Patrick Danielsen (Xray) was 0.5 seconds at the end of the run. Oliver Krähemann (Awesomatix) continued to score great results here in Daun with a third place for the round, and Olivier Bultynck (Awesomatix) followed him in fourth place. Mugen Seiki`s Sören Sparbier posted the fifth fastest time coming out of the second fastest group and is sitting in fourth place overall now! Simon Lauter had a terrible first lap of the race and lost some seconds, which let him stop the car atfter three minutes. The decision for the overall TQ is moved into the upcoming last round of qualifying and everybody is already excited about the outcome of Q4.
However, with Max Mächler not having a chance to TQ the race anymore, Simon Lauter is already the inofficial Awesomatix Pro Stock champion of ETS Season #15 2022/23 – congratulations Simon!

Hobbywing Frontwheel
Sparbier wins Q3 in front of Schulz and Niemann
In the third round of Hobbywing Frontwheel qualifying, Sören Sparbier (Mugen Seiki) was the driver posting a strong TQ run. He was the only driver making the extra lap (16 lap run), which allowed him to make a small mistake in this last lap without loosing any position!
Behind Sparbier, Xray`s Stefan Schulz finished second, with Meik Niemann, Roman Borschel, and Ulrich Dinger completing the top 5.
When looking on the overall championship, it seems like Steven Olsen has lost all chances with sitting on a B-Main position right now. He will need kind of a miracle to make the A-Main, or at least finish in front of Schulz at the end of the weekend. It is not decided yet, but everything looks very very promising for Stefan Schulz now!

Orca 17.5 Stock
Donath takes early morning Q3 and moves up to the top spot
Jasmin Donath is back in the game after a stunning TQ run on Saturday morning. She posted the fastest TQ run of the weekend in this class so far and is now in a comfortable first position. Behind her, Dominik Reile took the second place, only 0.9 seconds behind Jasmin Donath. The fight for the title is getting closer and closer between Dominik and Jasmin now and we are optimistic to see some epic battles in the finals between them. Kevin Schmid, Roman Borschel, and Daniel Pöhlmann completed the top 5 during the third round of Orca 17.5 Stock qualifying.

ToniSport 40+ Masters
TQ decision shifted to Q4 as Stankowitz wins third round of Masters qualifying
Manuel Stankowitz (Awesomatix) was sending out a signal to his competitors as he took the win in the early Saturday morning qualifier at the Sporthotel Grafenwald in Daun. This TQ run brought him back into the fight for the pole position. However, it is still Michel Zierold (Awesomatix) with the fastest runtime (from Q2) on his scorecard but the TQ run was important for Stankowitz to secure a starting spot ahead of Toni Mateo in the fight for the championship. Andreas Myrberg (Iris), Caspar Morgen (Xray), and Torsten Baggendorf (Awesomatix) completed the top 5.

Scorpion Formula
Three out of three – pole position for Schumacher`s Stiebler at ETS RD6

After finishing second in all rounds of qualifying so far, René Kölbel will start from second place into the finals, and we are already looking forward to some great final races in the Scorpion Formula class. Gergö Valent, Herbert Weber, and Jacques Libar finished third, fourth, and fifth for the round!

In the second round of qualifying, drivers can always back up their good Q1 result – or recover from a bad start into qualifying. In our Q2 report you will get all the information about a thrilling Friday evening at the Sporthotel Grafenwald in Daun, GER. Some drivers are close to book a starting spot in the A-Main, others are trying not to loose their chances for winning the overall championship!
Matrix Modified
Völker bounces back in Q2, Rheinard second, Orlowski flips in opening lap
In the opening lap of Matrix Modified Q2, Michal Orlowski had a traction roll with his Schumacher car in the opening lap and dropped all the way back to the end of the field. Meanwhile, Ronald Völker was leading the race with his LRP powered Mugen Seiki, with Rheinard`s Orca powered Awesomatix A800R right in tow. It was a very close race for the whole 5 minutes, and Ronald Völker was able to bring home the very important win in this heat to keep the chances for the pole position alive. Marc Rheinard crossed the line 0,9 seconds behind Völker and is still in striking distance when looking on the overall championship.
Christopher Krapp (Yokomo), David Ronnefalk (Awesomatix), and Lucas Urbain (Awesomatix) rounded out the top 5 in the last heat of qualifying on a very long Friday in Daun.

Awesomatix ProStock
Another win for Lauter, this time ahead of Sparbier and Krähemann
The second Awesomatix Pro Stock qualifier was another show of Simon Lauter`s extra class. After winning a complicated Q1, he drove without any mistake and scored his second TQ run of the event. Behins Awesomatix driver Lauter, Mugen Seiki`s Sören Sparbier had an amazing run to second place for the round with Oliver Krähemann (Awesomatix) taking third place. Louis Kretschmer (Awesomatix) and Olivier Bultynck (Awesomatix) rounded out the top 5.
With his second TQ run, Simon Lauter is only one run away from the pole position, AND the overall championship. His only contender Mächler needs a TQ and race win here in Daun to take the title away from Lauter, but with missing pole position his hopes for the title would go up in smoke. However, we will know more after the third, or at least fourth round of qualifying on Saturday.

Hobbywing Frontwheel
Unstoppable Schulz continues winning in FWD
After winning Q1, Stefan Schulz was on point again in the second round of FWD qualifying. His gap in front of second placed driver Roman Borschel was 0.2 seconds, and he is only one run away from a possible pole position in Daun which would be a huge break for the championship.
Roman Borschel finished second in Q2, and Sören Sparbier took the points for third place.

Orca 17.5 Stock
Borschel, Donath, Schmid, and Reile nose to tail in Q2
Roman Borschel took the second qualifier in the Orca 17.5 Stock class. But what an intense race it was! The top four finished within 0.413 of a second – that`s crazy, isn`t it? Daniel Pöhlmann finished fifth for the round, another second behind the top four. The overall ranking list on Saturday evening is listing Q1 winner Dominik Reile on top, with championship contender Jasmin Donath in third position. Everything is wide open and the decision for pole position and all A-Main spots will be on the line on Saturday morning here at the ETS season finale.

ToniSport 40+ Masters
Zierold again in Q2, Stankowitz now second overall with Mateo dropping down to eight place
Michel Zierold is on a mission here at ETS RD6 in Daun. He won the second round of qualifying and has two TQ runs to his favour now. He has nothing to do with the fight for the overall championship title, and he is driving very relaxed and without any pressure. The situation for Manuel Stankowitz is different. He is sitting in second spot now which looks very promising for him as Toni Mateo is only ranked in eight place after Q2. Even if qualifying is only halfway done, we can see the pendulum swinging a little bit to the side of Manuel Stankowitz.
Iris car designer Andreas Myrberg is sitting in third place now and it looks like he can also be in contention for the race win here in Daun. Torsten Baggendorf posted another fourth place and has booked his place on the A-Main starting grid for sure now. Caspar Morgen from Denmark is sitting in fifth place overnight!

Scorpion Formula
Stiebler close to seal the overall TQ after another win in Q2
We saw the same result as in Q1, with Andreas Stiebler on top of the board after five minutes. René Kölbel took another second place and the battle for the championship is getting even more exciting now. Behind the leaders it was once more a fight for third and fourth between Herbert Weber and Gergö Valent. A much improved Jacques Libar posted the fifth fastest time in the second round of Scorpion Formula qualifying.

ETS Q1 Report RD6 Season #15 2022/23
The first round of qualifying at the ETS season finale is completed. And as we promised, it was very close in all categories. A good start is always important at such a big event as everybody was working for this moment in the last two days of practice. Another round of qualifying will be up on Friday evening, but now sit back and enjoy our Q1 report from Daun.
Matrix Modified
Super strong Orlowski takes opening qualifier for Schumacher
In the first round of Matrix Modified qualifying, we saw a close fight at the top between Michal Orlowski (Schumacher), top seed Ronald Völker (Mugen Seiki), and the Awesomatix duo of Marc Rheinard and David Ronnefalk.
Orlowski started the heat with the fastest opening lap and was leading for the entire run. But Ronald Völker (driving in front of him on track) never gave up and closed the 0.7 gap all the way down to 0.2 again in until the last minute. Orlowski answered with some fast laps, and in the end his advantage on the line was at 0.215 of a second from Völker. A great result for Michal Orlowski who won many EOS qualifying heats in his career, but only posted one TQ run in modified touring car at the ETS, 2018 in Slovakia after some tire strategy moves on asphalt.
Behind Orlowski and Völker, it was David Ronnefalk who finished third for the round – “not bad for an offroad dude” as Scotty (Ernst) announce it. Marc Rheinard had to take P4 for the round which puts him under some pressure in the fight for the championship. Yokomo`s Christopher Krapp completed the top 5 in the first Matrix Modified qualifier.

Awesomatix ProStock
Lauter wins thrilling Q1 ahead of Ellerkbock and Krähemann
The first qualifier in the Awesomatix Pro Stock class was not an easy one for the heat winner Simon Lauter (Awesomatix). He started second behind top seed Tim Benson (Awesomatix), and found himself on top after Benson made a small mistake in the first laps. Benson was right behind Lauter after his bubble and looked a little bit faster. But as he was way behind Lauter on the timing, Lauter was not in a situation to let him by. At one time, Benson was too close to Lauter in front of him and touched him slightly. He could continue and drove some impressive laps afterwards to takt the win in Q1.
Lukas Ellerbrock and Oliver Krähemann (both Awesomatix) had a strong pace as well and scored good points in second and third place. Benson finished fourth, and Adam Izsay (Xray) fifth. Lauters only championship contender, Max Mächler, had a run to forget and is sitting in P27 after Q1.

In the Hobbywing Frontwheel class, Stefan Schulz (Xray) took a hard-fought heat win in front of Sören Sparbier (Mugen Seiki), and Roman Borschel (Awesomatix). Schulz also posted the fastest lap of the heat and is one step closer to his main goal: The overall championship!
Behind the top 3, Mark Valent took P4 with his time coming from the second fastest group, and Jan Gehrig rounded out the top 5 in the first FWD qualifier.

Dominik Reile won the first round of qualifying ahead of top seed Kevin Schmid with a gap of one second. Behind them, it was Jasmin Donath with a good run to third position. A good start for both title contenders (Donath and Reile) into the four rounds of qualifying. Roman Borschel and Jan Gehrig completed the top 5 in Q1.

Zierold takes opening round of Masters qualifying from Myrberg and Baggendorf
Top seed Manuel Stankowitz (Awesomatix) finished only third in Q1 of the Masters class, while his title contender Toni Mateo (Awesomatix) was able to finish only eight for the round. Not a perfect start for both, with the better result for Stankowitz. On top, it was Michel Zierold (Awesomatix) taking the win with 0.5 seconds ahead of Andreas Myrberg (Iris). Torsten Baggendorf scored good points as well with P4.

They raced on a very similar pace for the entire five minutes, but Stiebler crossed the line 0,9 seconds ahead of Kölbel. Herbert Weber (Xray) had a nice battle with Alex Bremer (Schumacher) and finished third for the round ahead of Bremer.
