Last weekend, the MKGP took place in Milton Keynes (Great Britain), and attracted 200 racers in 2WD, and 150 in the 4WD class. It was the weekend of Schumacher`s Michal Orlowski who took two TQ`s and both overall victories in front of Xray`s world champion Bruno Coelho who finished second in both divisions. Tommy Hall (Team Associated) took third place in 2WD, and his teammate Jonas Kaerup finished third on the podium in 4WD.
Read what Michal Orlowski wrote about his weekend on his social media:
What a fabulous weekend at MKGP 2023 in Milton Keynes, UK. I was able to take the double TQ&WIN at the most competitive offroad race in Europe in a very long time. This was the first time for all of us racing on this type of carpet and it started out with extremely low grip, we all changed our cars to suit the low grip conditions, but round by round in 2WD qualifying the grip was coming up and we had to slowly change back our cars for the high grip conditions each run. I was able to top seed, TQ and win the 2WD portion of the event. We moved onto 4WD. It started off quite tough, as I broke my car in the first seeding practice but after that, I was able to top seed again, TQ 5/5 qualifiers and take the win in A1 and A2. My Schumacher R/C Racing cars equipped with Hobbywing Technology/ Sunpadow RC, Power HD, Whitz Racing Products and MR33 Racing were absolutely brilliant on this difficult track with unique traction. I had great fights on the track with Bruno Coelho RC Driver, it was fantastic to finally race again in offroad on carpet for the first time in a few years and I had a brilliant race with Marcus Kærup RC Driver until the end in A1 and A2 of 4WD. Big thank you to the whole #SchumacherFamily, we have such a brilliant team and we work so well together. Special thanks to Tris, Muz and Robin and to the guys that helped me this weekend marshaling or mounting tyres, you are the best!
Xtreme Aerodynamics has released their new contender for 2023 in the FWD class. The bodyshell carries the name “ITALIA” and is the body of choice from Xtreme Aerodynamics for the upcoming ETS Season #16 2023/24.

T-Work`s has just released some new and interesting tuning parts for the Xray X4-2023 touring car. The front titanium Spool Outdrives (for BB drive shafts) and the rear gear differential outdrives are significantly lighter than the original steel parts resulting in less rotating mass and more drivetrain efficiency. When using the parts front and rear, you can save up to almost 7g of rotating mass which is a lot. No matter if you are racing stock or modified, these parts are a very good improvement for your Xray car. -Soon available at ToniSport-
T-Works part numbers:
TP-179-X4’23 64 Titanium Solid BB Driveshaft Adapters ( For Xray X4’23) This product is shared with the original #305138
TP-180-X4’23 64 Titanium Gear Diff. BB Driveshaft Adapters ( For Xray X4’23) This product is shared with the original #304973/ #304972
after racing with Scorpion electronics for many years, we like to inform you officially about a change today! From now on, the ETS will use a new Hobbywing combo for the Formula class. We like to thank Scorpion for their great support in the past years, being a reliable partner on our side.
Now, as we are moving forward, a new combo from Hobbywing will power the F1 cars around the racetracks. It came a long way, and the testing took quite some time under the lead of ETS Formula driver Jan Ratheisky and the Hobbywing development team. Now, everything is ready and the software of the ESC fits the 21.5T Hobbywing Motor perfectly. The combos are now available at ToniSport and the ESC must be in use from ETS RD1 in Apeldoorn.
The combo consists of the Hobbywing Handout Spec ETS Speed Controller and a Hobbywing Justock Handout Spec ETS 21.5T Motor!
even if the start of the new ETS season is not immediateley around the next corner, we will open the registration for RD1 in Apeldoorn very soon. We like to get kind of a feeling for the racing classes in which we change the motors and therefore we open the registration on MyRCM on:
If you have not raced at the AMCA Apeldoorn until now, here are the most important facts for you: Date: 01.06. – 04.06.2023 Location: AMCA Apeldoorn, Kanaal Zuid 134, 7332 BD Apeldoorn, Netherlands Track: Asphalt Track length 243m Driving direction: Anti clockwise Pit area: Covered pit area and additional tents Catering: AMCA Bistro trackside Entries: We open the entries on MyRCM on Tuesday, 14.03.2023 at 20:00 CET
the Euro Touring Series still is the leading racing series for electric 1:10 scale RC cars around the world. We have reached this status during the last 15 years because the ETS was always made “from racers – for racers” and with the main goal to produce fair and high class racing. The ETS has adapted it`s rules from time to time to keep up with the quickly changing industry and we always found a good way to succeed!
Now, we felt that it is time for some changes again to make our racing series even more attractive in the future. The development of motors, batteries, and speed controllers has not slowed down the cars in the last years resulting in all ETS classes being “very fast” on track. The speed of the Pro Stock class for example is comparable with the speed of modified racing 10 years ago.
After long and very constructive discussions within the ETS Orga Team, and also with the manufacturers, we have decided to adapt the Motors in our touring car stock classes. In the Formula 1 class, there will even be a completely new combo on the line for the start of ETS Season #16 2023/24.
Slowing down the Stock classes for better driveability and more racing action
From our point of view, the stock classes have become too fast and many average hobby drivers have become afraid about competing at the ETS against all the “top stock drivers”. Especially indoors the Pro Stock class has almost reached the speed of modified when we are looking closer at the laptimes. Therefore, we have decided to slow down these classes a little bit. With the current motor and software combinations the cars are reaching their top speed immediately when drivers are hitting the throttle out of the corners.
We are going to test the perfect gearing and software combinations as soon as the weather allows some proper outdoor testing. You will get informed immediately. However, the following hardware changes will come into force with the start of the new season in Apeldoorn (Netherlands) at the beginning of June:
Awesomatix Pro Stock
The Motor will change from ORCA 13.5T to the well-known ORCA 17.5T Motor. As mentioned before, we will test several software, RPM Limiters, and gear ratios for the best possible driveability on track. Our goal is to slow down the class a bit, but to get a higher top speed compared to the 17.5T Stock racing classes which we had in the last years with 17.5 Stock and 40+ Masters.
Orca 21.5 Stock and 1up Racing 40+ Masters
These two classes will get their 17.5T stock motor replaced by a 21.5T Motor from Orca. This will also result in less motor power and a more realistic look on track with the perfect gearing and RPM limiter mode. Don`t worry, we will choose a gearing which will not slow the cars down too much. In the same way as for Pro Stock, we will test and publish the new rules here as soon as possible. In the same moment we like to welcome 1up Racing as a new ETS sponsor on board, being the new title sponsor of the 40+ Masters class – welcome to the ETS family!
In the newly named Formula class, we will see a Hobbywing combo (21.5T Motor) powering the F1 cars for Season #16. After many years with Scorpion, we like to thank them for all they have done for us and the Formula racers at the ETS. The new Hobbywing combo is already in it`s final testing stages and we like to thank all drivers who helped testing the ESC and Motor on their home tracks so far. As soon as the software is programmed, we can start to sell the combos at ToniSport. Just wait some days and we will publish even more information for all Formula racers!
These two classes will stay unchanged for the new campaign. The Matrix Modified class is the premier class for the ultimate racing experience where every little detail counts. We see no reason to set any limits for this class as it is the most prestigious one at the ETS with manufacturers, teams, and drivers always pushing to the limits!
The Hobbywing Frontwheel class was the biggest racing class in the last 3 consecutive years at the ETS and we follow the “never change a running system” path here. The Hobbywing Motor and ESC combo of the Frontwheel class is already a perfect fit and no changes are needed!
New Season to kick off in Apeldoorn at the beginning of June
We hope that you understand the reasons for our decisions. The most important thing for us is to keep the ETS a racing class for everybody. The RULES for Season #16 will be completed very soon, including the new list of ETS body shells too. Stay tuned!
We are already looking forward to the new season which will kick off at the amazing track of the AMCA Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
