Matrix Modified
Völker wins Modified and adds more tension to championship battle ahead of season final in Daun
A2 – The second A-Main of the Matrix Modified class saw Marc Rheinard spinning out in the first lap of the race, where the Awesomatix driver was a little too close on the curbing in the fast left hander in front of the drivers stand. He dropped down to the end of the pack and showed some great RC driving afterwards as he pushed Patrick Gollner around the track fighting for one of the spots at the end of the field. It was great to watch, and the crowd loved it. But for sure, this was not what Rheinard had in mind at the sound of the tone.
Out front, it was Mugen Seiki`s Ronald Völker controlling the race with Lucas Urbain (Awesomatix) in second spot. They had a similar pace and Lucas was not able to come close enough to Völker. After the 5 minutes, Ronald Völker took the win in A2, earning his first ETS race win of the actual season. A very important step for him to get even closer to Rheinard and Krapp in the overall championship rankings.
Asked about his race win, Ronald Völker said:
I am more than delighted with my TQ and win here in Hann. Münden. It brings me totally back in the fight for the ETS title what I did not expect anymore at some point in the middle of the summer season. My LRP powered MTC2 was very good all weekend long, the same as it was at the EWS race last weekend in Great Britain on different tires. I like to thank all my sponsors for their support and I am already looking forward to the season final in Daun!

Marc Rheinard was a little disappointed in a quick chat with the media team:
A2 was a nightmare for me. My car spun around in lap 1 and I think I was a little too aggressive in this corner so I can only blame myself. It is a bit of a bummer as my car felt amazing to drive during the run. I then had a nice battle with Patrick Gollner and he did really well. Now I will try to win A3 to take second overall.

A3 –Marc Rheinard and Lucas Urbain made the show in the last Modified A-Main. Lucas Urbain came really close in the last laps of the race, but Rheinard was able to stand his ground bringing home the win and second place overall for the weekend. Lucas Urbain finished second in A3, and third overall behind Völker and Rheinard. The Yokomo drivers Yannic Prümper and Christopher Krapp finished fourth and fifth in Hann. Münden and the championship final in Daun is expected to be a real thriller!
