| Volker & Hagberg complete podium at ETS Season Finale Posted: 28 Jul 2019 07:29 AM PDT Ronald Volker and Alexander Hagberg have completed the podium at the Season Finale of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Slovakia. With newly crowned Champion Bruno Coelho securing his fourth win from the six races in A2, the final race of the 12th season of the ETS was to decide who joined the Xray driver on the podium at the Hudy Arena. Effectively starting on pole as Top Qualifier Coelho sat out A3, Hagberg led away the field from Ronald Volker, the latter having finish the opening two encounters in P2. On the first run down the main straight Volker would pull off a spectacular high speed pass on Hagberg and once in front the Yokomo driver never looked threatened for the win. At the end the German would finish 1.5-seconds clear of Hagberg who in turn was over 2-seconds ahead of Christopher Krapp. Winner of the Season opener, the result secured Volker his third P2 race result with Hagberg third and Krapp fourth.

| Volker & Hagberg complete podium at ETS Season Finale Posted: 28 Jul 2019 07:26 AM PDT Ronald Volker and Alexander Hagberg have completed the podium at the Season Finale of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Slovakia. With newly crowned Champion Bruno Coelho securing his fourth win from the six races in A2, the final race of the 12th season of the ETS was to decide who joined the Xray driver on the podium at the Hudy Arena. Effectively starting on pole as Top Qualifier Coelho sat out A3, Hagberg led away the field from Ronald Volker, the latter having finish the opening two encounters in P2. On the first run down the main straight Volker would pull off a spectacular high speed pass on Hagberg and once in front the Yokomo driver never looked threatened for the win. At the end the German would finish 1.5-seconds clear of Hagberg who in turn was over 2-seconds ahead of Christopher Krapp. Winner of the Season opener, the result secured Volker his third P2 race result with Hagberg third and Krapp fourth. Speaking after the race, this season’s Vice Champion Volker said, ‘I was really desperate to save my P2 and the pass was great. I had nothing planned. I just pulled the trigger and it work out. Then I tried to pull away so as not to give the opportunity to come back at me’. The former Champion continued, ‘Overall the season was better than the previous one. We had a chance to fight for the overall title. It always comes down to the fine details and that is what we need to improve. Thanks to Hayato and Jurgen for all the support, and all the rest of the team’. Posting the fastest lap of A3, Hagberg said, ‘I changed my car (for A3) and it wasn’t as good at the start. I couldn’t do anything to challenge Ronald’. Only his second podium of the season, his other being at the Season opener, the former ETS race winner continued, ‘I wanted to win (A3) but still a podium finish is a nice way to end the season’. With all the class winners except Pro Stock being decided in A2, it was their A3 that would provide the main action. Starting from the TQ, Simon Lauter led away resisting pressure from No.2 starting Dominic Vogl. The Awesomatix due pulled clear of the field with Vogl looking menacing as he shadowed Lauter. With three laps to go they came into the front chicane before the loop and with Vogl braking later they made contact but immediately the Austrian handed the lead back to Lauter. Vogl wasn’t finished yet however and on the final lap got the inside on the leader through the sweeper exiting the straight with the two touching on the exit of the sweeper but it was a racing pass and Vogl could hold on for the win, which being 2-seconds quicker than Lauter’s A2 win, giving him the overall win. The meaning of the win clear from Vogl’s roar of celebration on the drivers stand. Having clinched the overall title in Apeldoorn, Lauter would finish his campaign with second with A1 winner Olivier Bultynck completing the podium. In Formula, David Erbhar won A3 to join newly crowned Champion Jan Ratheisky on a podium which was completed by Matej Dobnikar. Søren Boy Holst won A3 of 40+ Masters to finish runner-up to Alexander Stocker while in Stock 17.5 Cham Dassanayake and A3 winner Marwin Riedelbauch joined inaugural champion Daniel Pöhlmann on the podium.

| Coelho wraps up ETS title with 3rd consecutive win Posted: 28 Jul 2019 03:57 AM PDT Having clinched the overall title by securing the TQ in qualifying on Friday, today Bruno Coelho has wrapped up Season #12 of the Euro Touring Series with the third consecutive win of his successful campaign. Taking A1 with ease, the Xray driver would just hold on to take A2 ahead of Ronald Volker, his main title rival reducing the gap over the closing laps to 3/10ths of a second. Again a mistake from the no.2 starting Alexander Hagberg allowed Volker through to second place and now the duo will fight it out in A3 to decide who finishes runner-up at the Hudy Arena. Commenting on A2, Coelho said, ‘I had a very good start and had about 1-second over Alex. Then I think I overheated the tyres and lost all the gap I had built up. I lost traction. I had no steering and no forward traction. One more lap and it would have been difficult to keep Volker behind me’. Reflecting on the 2018/2019 ETS Season, the now four time Champion who was only 6th at the season opener in Vienna said, ‘It was not a god start to the Season. In Madrid (the first asphalt race of the season) we had a bad result but it was to be a good point because we started to develop a completely new platform and we have quickly shown the potential of our 2020 kit. Our old platform has been around for 6-years and we had a lot of knowledge with this car. This is a brand new car so still have more to learn about it so I am sure it has a lot more potential’. He concluded, ‘It was a tough Championship but we turned a negative into a position and I am super happy for that’. ‘I tried everything I could and there wasn’t much missing at the end. I still struggled in the opening laps for traction’, was Volker’s reaction to A2. The Yokomo driver continued, ‘This time I was able to show the best pace at the end but there was not much room anyway to make a pass. Congrats to Bruno for another win’. With second places from the opening two mains, the former World Champion said, ‘for the last one I will try save my 2nd place. I wouldn’t be happy if I was to drop to third on the podium so I will try to get ahead of Alex’. Putting his A1 mistakes down to him ‘not driving well today, that’s all’, Hagberg said, ‘the car is very good at the start and I was pulling away from Ronald until I had a mistake at the sweeper. I couldn’t recover from that’. Looking to A3, the Swede said, ‘I hope I can win the next one and finish 2nd overall’. Behind Hagberg, Christopher Krapp would finish 4th followed by of fellow French Awesomatix duo Lucas Urbain and Loic Jasmin. In the battle for the last title to be decided, Formula, Jan Ratheisky made it back to back Championship success when he back up his A1 win from yesterday with another win over his title rival & former champion David Ehrbar. Ehrbar, who had to get by Jitse Miedema after the Infinity driver got him on the opening lap, was on a mission at the controls of his Serpent over the closing laps setting the only 20-second lap of the final but he ran out of time having got the gap down to 6/10ths. In the Pro Stock, already crowned Champion & Top Qualifier Simon Lauter held on for the win just ahead of Dominic Vogl and Jan Ratheisky which means Round 6 will be decided in A3. In 40+ Masters, Alexander Stocker wrapped up yet another win in his successful title campaign with the A2 win over Toni Mateo. In Stock 17.5, the inaugural Champion of the class Daniel Pöhlmann also concluded his season with a ETS Slovakia win after backing up his A1 win with another easy win in A2.

| Posted: 28 Jul 2019 12:46 AM PDT Bruno Coelho took an unchallenged tone to tone win in a re-run of the opening A-Main at the Yokomo Euro Touring Series Season Finale in Slovakia this morning. Originally scheduled for yesterday but stopped half way through when it started to rain and the rest of the day was cancelled, drivers faced an earlier than usual 08:30 but starting from the TQ it didn’t cause the newly crowned Champion any issues as he took the win over Ronald Volker by over 1-second. For a time it looked like Coelho’s Xray team-mate Alexander Hagberg might make a race of A1 but the Swede came undone with the first of two mistakes at the same point on the track. First allowing Volker through to second, the second error allowed Christopher Krapp through to complete the Top 3 with an incident on the last lap dropping Hagberg to 9th.
