LRP Wins ETS 2010-11 Round One in Modified and Stock
Round one of the 2010-11 Euro Touring Series saw a double victory for LRP in Kastellaun, Germany. Ronald Völker took the win in Modified whilst Eric Dankel won the Stock class. In the ETS, the best touring car drivers come together for six races held in Europe. The first round was held in Kastellaun, Germany and the entry included the LRP team of Ronald Völker, Freddy Südhoff and Dominik Fleischmann in the modified class, with Eric Dankel, Tim Wahl, Alexander Stocker, Oliver Franke and Daniel Wohlgemuth in Stock class, all ably supported by LRP Team Manager Reto König.
In Modified, Ronald Völker won five qualification rounds and the first two A finals to dominate the category with his LRP-poweed Yokomo. LRP team mate and Hot Bodies driver Freddy Südhoff lined up second on the grid, but was unable to make it onto the podium after the A finals. Defending ETS champion Marc Rheinard had to settle for second place overall with hs Tamiya after winning the third leg, but the real battle was for second position in leg three which saw a thrilling battle. Four drivers had the chance to take it. Dominik Fleischmann (Hot Bodies) was under pressure from Juho Levänen, who in turn was attacked by Yannic Prümper (Yokomo) and Viktor Wilck (Tamiya). Young Yannic impressed everybody with his consistently fast driving, but he lost much time due to a driving mistake in the chicane while trying to overtake Juho. This was the chance for Viktor who had worked his way towards the front of the field. But time ran out and Viktor settled for third behind Juho’s LRP-powered Associated. The overall results in Modified class saw a convincing victory of Ronald Völker afront of Marc Rheinard. The result of the third round saw LRP team drivers Freddy Südhoff and Juho Levänen as well as Viktor Wilck tie for the overall third place. Due to the faster time in the final round, Viktor Wilck in the end took the last spot on the podium.
Like his team mate in Modified, Eric Dankel had a fantastic weekend in the Stock class. A good balance of driving skills and LRP power secured him pole position and the win, with team mate Tim Wahl taking second place from fourth on the grid – a fantastic result for Tim who is only 16-years-old.
