Völker holds surprising overnight TQ at Arena 33

Orlowski wins Q1 from Lauter and Völker

Q1 – Before the first round of Cayote Modified qualifying, everybody expected Michal Orlowski to win it by a mile…. and the Schumacher star driver delivered. However, Orlowski`s margin was at “only 2.1 seconds“ which is still a lot – but not as devastating for his competitors (some people had expected a gap of 4-5 seconds).

Behind Orlowski we saw a hard and super-close fight for the positions between Simon Lauter (Awesomatix), Ronald Völker (RC Maker), Bruno Coelho (Infinity), and Eric Dankel (Awesomatix). The positions changed many times throughout the run, and it was Lauter who could snatch the second place from Völker by 0.157 of a second.

A great result for both drivers and especially for Völker who had hoped for a top three result in his first ever qualifying run for RC Maker.

Lauter and Völker looked quite happy after the run being “best of the rest” behind Orlowski. After his second place in seeding, reigning world champion Bruno Coelho had to take P4 from Q1 and Eric Dankel was able to score good points with a fifth place.

Völker claims first ever Modified TQ run for RC MAKER

Q2 – With Q1 being already entertaining, THE STORY of the day happened in Q2 of the Cayote Modified class. Michal Orlowski saw all of his competitors on a good pace and could not open a comfortable gap to Lauter, Völker, and Coelho as he was able to do in Q1.

The top four all posted 17.1 second laptimes and it looked like Orlowski`s hot lap advantage of a couple of tenths was gone… In the last 2 minutes of the run, it was Ronald Völker who jumped into the lead before Orlowski was able to take it back by three tenths of a second. The crowd was watching and it was almost silent as the thrill was really there. Orlowski, Völker, Lauter, and Coelho had an incredible fight against the clock and once Orlowski was in the lead again, everybody thought “that`s it now”. BUT in the penultimate lap of Q2, Orlowski made a mistake at the last curb of the center chicane and lost 1.6 seconds.

Völker took full advantage and the win in Q1 under the cheers of his new team (including a very emotional Ryan Maker) – what a great story! Völker also posted a faster runtime as Orlowski did in Q1 and is the overnight TQ now in the Cayote Modified class. Behine Völker, it was Simon Lauter who took second spot in front of Bruno Coelho, Michal Orlowski, and Lucas Urbain!

The top 10 after 2 of 4 qualifiers: Völker, Orlowski, Lauter, Coelho, Urbain, Dankel, Prümper, Greiner, Gollner, Rheinard

QUALY RESULTS

Xray 1-2 with Ratheisky and Izsay ahead of Sparbier

Q1 – After some very interesting seeding practice results from Thursday, RC Maker driver David Reip was starting from P1 into qualifying for the first time in his ETS racing career. But it was Xray`s Adam Izsay who made the most out of Q1 when he took the win ahead of an also strong driving Phil Langner (Awesomatix), and Jaroslav Jun. Kriz (Xray). Ollie Bultynck finished fourth in Q1 ahead of David Perez Perez, Tim Benson, Jesper Rasmussen, Enrico Jung, and Lukas Ellerbrock.

Q2 – Jan Ratheisky won Pro Stock Q2 for Xray after a brilliant drive. Ratheisky skipped Q1 to play the tire game – in which is seems to be very good. Jan took the win by 0.7 seconds in front of Mugen Seiki driver Sören Sparbier, the Xray of Adam Izsay, Enrico Jung (ARC), and Ollie Bultynck (Awesomatix).

The top 10 after 2 of 4 qualifiers: Ratheisky, Izsay, Sparbier, Langner, Kriz, Jung, Bultynck, Perez Perez, Rasmussen, Benson

QUALY RESULTS

Borschel on top at qualifying half-time

Q1 – Roman Borschel won the first heat of FlySky qualifying with his Awesomatix car on a cool Friday morning ahead of top seed Kevin Schmid (Awesomatix) and Filip Bortoli (Xray). Stefan Schulz (third after seeding) skipped Q1 to save some tires and it was all about Max Weffers and Jacques Libar to round out the top five.

Q2 – In the second round of qualifying, it was again Roman Borschel who took the win by only 0.016 seconds ahead of Stefan Schulz. Max Weffers was another seven tenths behind Schuz and saw Kevin Schmid and Filip Bortoli rounding out the top five.

The top 10 after 2 of 4 qualifiers: Borschel, Schulz, Schmid, Weffers, Bortoli, Heitsch, Libar, Sova, Degoes, Anthes

QUALY RESULTS

Champion Ehrbar ahead of Dinger and Thalheimer

Q1 – The first round of 1up Racing 40+ Masters qualifying saw top seed Mirco Thalheimer (Xray) posting the fastest lap of the run (20.637), but he had to take second place behind heat winner David Ehrbar who once again managed to TQ the opening round after a very strong performance with his Xray X4`26. David`s wife, Anna Ehrbar (Xray), posted the third fastest time in Q1 in front of Torsten “Totti” Baggendorf (Xray), and ARC racer Ulrich Dinger.

Q2 – After winning Q1, David Ehrbar stamped authority onto the 40+ Masters class when he also won Q2 ahead of Ulrich Dinger and Mirco Thalheimer. Toni Mateo showed a good pace and scored P4 for the round in front of Anna Ehrbar and Henrik Heitsch.

The top 10 after 2 of 4 qualifiers: D.Ehrbar, Dinger, Thalheimer, Mateo, A. Ehrbar, Heitsch, Baggendorf, Stankowitz, vd Berg, Morgen

QUALY RESULTS

Sooooo close – Anthes leads from Kappes with two more to go!

Q1 – Daniel Anthes (fastest lap 20.582) took the win in the first round of Hobbywing 21.5 Stock qualifying when he was able to outpace top seed Christoph Kappes (fastest lap 20.656) by 0.720 of a second after a very intense five -minute run. Filip Bortoli and Horst Schymaniuk (both running in the b-heat), as well as Christian Lütjen made it into the top five as well and collected some valuable points from Q1.

Q2 – After being separated by only 0.016 in Q1, it was another Anthes and Kappes show in Q2. With the gap this time at 0.283 of a second, Anthes could take another important win and is on the way to seal the overall pole position at Arena33. Daniel Hiesch finished third in Q2 ahead of a very fast Mick Lätsch, and “routineer” Patrick Gassauer!

The top 10 after 2 of 4 qualifiers: Anthes, Kappes, Hiesch, Bortoli, Lätsch, Schymaniuk, Gassauer, Lütjen, Kuschnarew, Buchwald

QUALY RESULTS

On a mission – Hudy takes Q1 and Q2 in Andernach

Q1 – Xray`s very own Martin Hudy took the opening round of Formula qualifying at Arena33. Hudy won the heat with an advantage of six tenths over Schumacher`s Andreas Stiebler, and the Xray ride of Jacques Libar. Hudy also posted the fastest lap of the round (19.872) and was looking very strong after Q1.

Q2 – Martin Hudy continued to run strong when he posted another TQ run at Arena33 in Q2. This time he had an advantage of almost 0.5 seconds over David Ehrbar and Andreas Stiebler finished third and was followed by Jacques Libar and Robert Kampehl.

The top 10 after 2 of 4 qualifiers: Hudy, Ehrbar, Stiebler, Libar, Kampehl, Wojcik, Grenz, Jovicic, vd Heijden, Jansen

Orloswki leads day one from Coelho and Lauter

The ETS is back at Arena33 in Andernach (Germany) and Thursday was all about four rounds of practice. The weather was stable with a little bit of wind, some clouds, and a lot of sun. All racers used the four rounds of practice to dial in their cars for the technical and very challenging track and here are the results for you…

Orlowski looked untouchable, Coelho quickly on pace, Lauter on a strong third spot!

The Cayote Modified class saw a very dominant Michal Orlowski flying around the track with his Schumacher Mi10. He was on top after each round of practice and left no doubt that a win here in Andernach is only going over his pit table.

Infinity`s Bruno Coelho improved step by step throughout the whole day as he made “many setup changes” together with his mechanic Francesco Martini. Bruno found himself on P2 on Thursday evening – not bad without any pre-event testing at Arena33.

Awesomatix hot shot Simon Lauter was third fastest and showed once again that he is one of the top modified drivers across Europe now. Can he make it onto the podium?

Yannic Prümper (Schumacher) and Eric Dankel (Awesomatix) completed the top five after seeding practice and Ronal Völker was sixth fastest at his first day with his new RC Maker SP2. Two rounds of modified qualifying are scheduled for Friday – can somebody challenge „Mighty Orlowski?

PRACTICE RESULTS

The Top 5 after seeding practice (over 3 consecutive laps)

Reip is top seed with new RC MAKER SP2

David Reip was the surprise of the day when he topped the times in Pro Stock on Thursday evening. Reip was a tenth ahead of the competition with his new SP2 ride and was followed by the more familiar Pro Stock faces of Ollie Bultynck, Enrico Jung, Sören Sparbier, and Adam Izsay. David Reip was showing a very impressive speed with his new car and he never had been ranked that far up in Pro Stock – let`s see what he will show us in qualifying against “the best in the business”.

PRACTICE RESULTS

The Top 5 after Thursday practice (over 3 consecutive laps)

1. David Reip (GER) 57.706 RC Maker
2. Olivier Bultynck (BEL) 57.806 Awesomatix

4. Sören Sparbier (GER) 57.888 Mugen Seiki
5. Adam Izsay (HUN) 57.922 Xray

Schmid on top after day one at Arena33

Awesomatix racer Kevin Schmid found himself on top of the list after Thursday practice. Roman Borschel was second quickest and 0.3 of a second behind Schmid. Xray driver Stefan Schulz, and his two team mates Max Weffers and Filip Bortoli rounded out the top 5 before the start of qualifying on Friday!

4. Max Weffers (GER) 1:08.400 Xray
5. Filip Bortoli () 1:08.913 Xray

Thalheimer and Ehrbar with an Xray 1-2

Mirco Thalheimer and David Ehrbar looked strong with their Xray cars on track when they posted the fastest lap times on Thursday. Thalheimer won his only ETS race here at Arena33 when the circus had been here for the last time in 2023 and it seems that he was able to carry over that feeling into 2026. Behind the top two Xray cars, Manuel Stankowitz was the fastest Awesomatix when he posted the third quickest times of the day in front of Ulrich Dinger and Henrik Heitsch.

PRACTICE RESULTS

The Top 5 after Thursday practice (over 3 consecutive laps)

4. Ulrich Dinger (GER) 1:02.369 ARC
5. Henrik Heitsch (GER) 1:03.026 ARC

Hometown boy Kappes tops Thursday practice

After being a “secret” favourite for the event, Christoph Kappes from Team ToniSport showed that he can have the pace for the win here at Arena33 in Andernach. Kappes was two and a half tenths quicker (over three laps) than second placed Awesomatix driver Daniel Anthes, while Christian Lütjen was third fastest for the day.

PRACTICE RESULTS

The Top 5 after seeding practice (over 3 consecutive laps)

1. Christoph Kappes (GER) 1:01.042 Mugen Seiki

4. Max Weffers (GER) 1:01.926 Xray
5. Sven Zietlow (GER) 1:01.999

Martin Hudy was the fastest Formula driver on Thursday at ETS RD3. David Ehrbar posted the second fastest time and was followed by Schumacher`s Andreas Stiebler, Jacques Libar, and Robert Kampehl. The battle for the pole position is expected to be a close fight between Hudy, Ehrbar, and Stiebler on Friday.

5 things to watch for ETS RD3 at Arena33, GER

The Cayote Euro Touring Series season #19 is in full swing with RD3 taking place this upcoming weekend at Arena33. The club has prepared the track over the last year, removed the green astro turf infields, and added some fresh looking blue paint as well as new aluminium barriers instead of the wooden ones. The driver stand main building got some fresh paint as well and looks clean and beautiful again!

On Friday, a huge marquee was erected to provide all the racing drivers with a comfortable pit area, and everything is ready for a fantastic show. As always, there’s plenty to see, and here are our FIVE things to watch for ETS RD3 at Arena33…

1. Orlowski and Coelho level on points

Who will lead the championship before switching to black ETS carpet for RD4 and RD5?

Michal Orlowski (Schumacher) and Bruno Coelho (Infinity) will arrive to Arena33 in Andernach with 602 points each. Something we have not seen at the ETS since a while after two races in a season.

Both drivers dominated RD1 and RD2 and walked away with a TQ/win, and a second place each. This is very promising for the rest of the season even if we need to find out if Bruno and Infinity will compete on carpet this upcoming winter, or not.

They skipped the carpet season last year because of their world championship preparations, but now we are in a completley different film. However it will unfold – the stage is set for a great battle between Orlowski and Coelho. RC Maker`s new signing Ronald Völker is ranked in third position, six points behind the leaders.

1.1 Two debuts, one company – spotlight on RC Maker

Völker and SP2 hitting the track for the first time at the ETS

It was a big move when Ronald Völker left Mugen Seiki after almost six years just a couple of weeks ago. Völker had a good time with Mugen Seiki – especially at Arena33 where he could win twice (2021), backed up with a second place finish at the last Arena33 ETS in 2023.

Fast forward, this all is history and Ronald is now working together with RC Maker company owner Ryan Maker and his new team on the recently launched SP2 touring car.

A great project for Ronald, and a “dream coming true” for Ryan Maker who has now added one of the highest decorated 1:10 scale onroad racers of all time to his team. All eyes will be on RC Maker and the debut of the SP2, wheeled by Ronald Völker!

2. Technical track layout – who will dominate at Arena33

Slower corners and curb riding – precision is key

Compared to AMCA Apeldoorn and the HUDY ARENA, the track at Arena33 in Germany is not that “ultra-fast” and features more slow corners and chicanes where the perfect rythm will be the key to go fast. Overtaking is difficult as well and qualifying will be even more important for everybody!

During some of last weeks practice sessions, we have already seen very fast laptimes in Modified and some drivers broke the old track record already. Let`s see how far the drivers can push with the current cars, three years after we had been at Arena33 for the last time.

3. Tobi’s Kitchen and Hoffmann`s famous ice-cream van

There is no doubt about it – hunger will not be an issue during ETS RD3 in Andernach. Tobias Baumbach will rock the canteen in the same way he does at the ETS races in Daun, serving food, snacks, coffe, and cold drinks all day long.

Hofmann`s famous ice-cream van will “hopefully” shop up as well. Their ice-cream is really good and there’s always a long queue there when they come to Arena33!

4. After intense Pro Stock battles at the Hudy Arena

Have the nerves calmed down again?

The Pro Stock race at the Hudy Arena was a very tight contest at the front, with race winner Jan Ratheisky (Xray), championship leader Olivier Bultynck (Awesomatix) and Adam Izsay (Xray) battling it out for victory. However, there had been some critical moments (contact Izsay/Bultynck) and some very frustrated racers after A3. We really hope to see cleaner fights at Arena33 where overtaking will be more difficult than at the Hudy Arena for sure. It is game on in Pro Stock!

5. Zoo Racing Wolverine vs. Avalon Vortex

Which body wil be the fastest in all stock classes?

The Avalon Vortex body will not be in use in the Cayote Modified class. BUT it can be used in ALL of our three stock classes Pro Stock, 40+ Masters, and 21.5 Stock. We have already heared that the body works great at Arena33 where the amount of rotation and it`s agility might give the Avalon an advantage over the (also very agile) Wolverine from ZooRacing.

At the last ETS (Hudy Arena), David Ehrbar won the 40+ Masters with the Avalon Vortex, whilst the Wolverine continued to lead the way in the 21.5 Masters and Pro Stock classes. We are excited for the next episode of the body shell battles – you as well?

Formula 1 class to exit ETS end of season #19

Dear ETS Family,

today we have an announcement that not everyone will love to read. From the start of the new ETS Season #20 2027/28, the Formula class will not be a part of the series anymore. We have talked about that topic a lot with the whole team, and the decision was made that we will now finish the Season with our races in Andernach, Daun, and Warsaw to crown our last ETS Formula champion.

The desicion was made , based on pure numbers and stats. The F1 class was not growing at all in the last years, sometimes we did not even reach the mark of 20 entries. When we have our huge events with so many entries already, and the Formula class maybe gets 25 entries, we are really just taking that (track) time away from other potential racers. We are sure that almost all the Formula racers have another class that they would be happy to still race at the ETS.

We hope that (most of) you will understand the decision, which was made by the ETS team with full consensus. To all F1 drivers: Thank you for always supporting the class. Please enjoy the last three races of ETS Season #19 2026/27.

Uwe, Scotty, and the whole ETS crew!

This truly is a dream come true for all of us at RC MAKER, and we are beyond excited for what lies ahead!

Mugen Seiki factory driver has announced his departure from Mugen Seiki today on his social media account (Facebook). It is a surprising move in the middle of the season and we are excited to find out about the future of the record ETS champion. Here is the statement Ronald posted on Augzst 11, 2026:

After nearly 6 years, my time with Mugen Seiki has come to an end and it is time to take on a new adventure ahead.
I am very thankful for the opportunity at Mugen Seiki. I was not only involved as a driver, I enjoyed working closely together with the whole team – especially Robert Pietsch who I spent the most time with on and off the track. I’m also very grateful for the support from Stefan Habbecke at Mugen Seiki Europe (MSE) and of course everyone at Mugen Seiki Japan.
We achieved great results with the MTC2, MTC2-R and MTC3 platforms and I am proud to be a part of Mugen Seiki’s rise in the touring car classes over that period.
Alongside many wins and podiums around the world, the highlights are securing 2x ETS Championships and 3x National Championships whilst representing Mugen Seiki.
I simply can’t thank enough everyone who supported either the brand or myself during this time. I can’t list all the names, but everyone who knows, knows! I absolutely would not change a thing from my time with all of you!
I wish the whole Mugen Seiki company, team and customers all the very best in their future!

Xray extends points lead on home soil!

Analysis

31. July 2026

Atfer ETS RD2 of Season #19, we take a look onto the standings of the constructors championship. It was a great weekend for XRAY at their headquaters, and they managed to extend their lead in the points standings to eight points over Awesomatix. As in the past two years, the fight for the title seems to unfold between these two teams again….

RULES FOR ETS CONSTRUSTORS CHAMPIONSHIP

1. XRAY (1203 pts) – Great team effort on home ground!

The whole Xray team looked very strong on their home ground in Trencin. Their counted points came from Jan Ratheisky (302|Pro Stock), David Ehrbar (302|40+ Masters), Filip Bortoli (300|21.5 Stock), and Alexander Hagberg (299|Modified). Xray had the most cars in all the A-Mains which was kind of expected on home soil, but they has to work very hard for that against the strong competition! Throw-out result: Gergö Valent (299|FWD).

2. AWESOMATIX (1198 pts) – Successful damage limitation!

It was not an easy weekend for Team Awesomatix in Trencin. But at the end of the weekend, they “only” lost 5 points to Xray and are still the second best team of the season with a direct contact to the top. Against the mighty Xray team, the points for Awesomatix had been deliveres by Olivier Bultynck (300|Pro Stock), Kevin Schmid (300|FWD), Michel Zierold (299|40+ Masters), and Stefan Hois (299|21.5 Stock). Throw-out result: Simon Lauter (296|Modified)

3. MUGEN (1182 pts) – Another weekend behind Xray and Awesomatix..!

It was another rock-solid weekend for Mugen Seiki – but not more than that. Not all drivers reached their expected results and the team scored three fifth places and one eleventh spot. The points looked like that: Ronald Völker (297|Modified), Sören Sparbier (297|Pro Stock), Richard Oversloot (297|21.5 Stock), Werner Schmitzer (291|40+ Masters).

4. SCHUMACHER (895 pts) – Best of the rest!

Schumacher is constantly delivering points in Modified and one (or two) other classes. But they never managed to have cars in all A-Mains since the constructors championship got started 2 years ago. This is holding them off from fighting for a top result. At the Hudy Arena, they had a good weekend and scores points with Michal Orlowski (302|Modified), Robin van Gog (302|FWD), and Mark Valent (291|Pro Stock).

5. ARC (891 pts) – Climbed up from P7 to P5 in the standings

ARC made the biggest step in the standings when they moved up from P7 to P5. Three strong A-Main results (including one victory) had been responsible for that and the points counted had been sealed by race winner David Kuschnarew (301|21.5 Stock), Helge Johannessen (293|Pro Stock), and Patrick Sommer (297|40+ Masters). A very positive trend for the team!

6. RC MAKER (582 pts) – New SP2 is coming soon…!

The RC Maker team had two drivers making A-mains. Not bad when keeping in mind that it is still a small and young team. Antoine Brunet (291|Modified) and Valentino Malighetti (291|FWD) scored the points at the Hudy Arena keeping the team ranked in sixth place. The new RC Maker SP2 car will come soon – maybe it can boost the team to even better results!

7. INFINITY (300 pts) – Coelho is not enough..!

Infinity has one of the most impressive driver lineups we can think about – Coelho, Wilck, Groskamp, Matsukura, and many others – but only in Modified. In the stock classes, they are missing some top drivers. Nico Catelani is very fast, but in Trencin he missed the Pro Stock A-main. Because of that, only Bruno Coelhos collected points (300|Modified) for the team.

8. SERPENT (294 pts) – the Greiner show continues

Nothing new to say about Serpent. The car always looks fast and it wqas once again all about Dominic Greiner to score the only points for them (294|Modified). Easy to say for the media but without some more drivers the brand will never be able to climb up the ladder in the ETS constructors championship!

9. IRIS (292 pts) – first points of Seaosn #19

Even if they are ranked low in the standings, Iris managed to score points with Loris Buchhalt (292|FWD) in Trencin. The last season went very well for the Iris team when they finished fourth overall in the standings after constantly scoring points with two or more drivers. Now, they are far away from that and need to impove during the next three races.

10. YOKOMO (0 pts) – no points for Yokomo

Yokomo did not collect any points iat the Hudy Arena. Their top driver Christopher Krapp was not in attendance and the rest of the team did not make an A-Main. Still a difficult situation for the famous Japanese brand. They are working hard and we see more Yokomo cars in the pits again. Let`s see what will happen. For now, they are dead last in the standings!
