The third round of the Euro Touring Series in Luxembourg was a blast. 266 racers from all over the world went for it, and together we survived some rain showers, had a nice barbecue on Friday evening, and – most important – we had an amazing time on the iconic track of the LMCC Luxembourg. The racing had been at the highest level as always and we like to thank everybody for coming and supporting our racing series.

Three out of three for Orlowski as he wins ETS RD3 in Luxembourg from Urbain and Rheinard

A2 – When the second final got underway at the sound of the tone, Urbain and Rheinard were staying close to pole sitter Orlowski. Lucas had to survive a power slide in the infield section in lap 4 which only cost him a little bit of time. Urbain was also responsible for the next thing to happen in the race when he drove through the grass on top of the corkscrew section allowing Rheinard to jump to second spot.

Rheinard was Orlowski`s number one hunter now and after some laps he came closer and closer to the Schumacher car in front of him. Urbain was also staying in touch waiting for something to happen out front. In the last two laps of the race, Rheinard was all over Orlowski and was hard on the binders two times to not risk any collision. Orlowski didn`t gave any chance to Rheinard for putting on a pass and they crossed the finish line up the hill separated by only 0.222 seconds.

Lucas Urbain followed another three tenths behind taking third place while Ronald Völker had another solid race to P4 some 2.2 seconds behind Urbain. It was a great second A-Main and the best in the business once again showed the perfection and speed of the fastest 1:10 scale racing class in the world.

The win was the third one for Orlowski this season and the championship is (almost) his, if nothing really special will happen on carpet!

A3 – In the last heat of the event, all eyes had been on Lucas Urbain and Marc Rheinard when they were fighting for second and third overall. Marc looked a bit quicker and was very close to Lucas in the middle of the race until he made a small mistake at the exit of laguna seca giving Urbain some breathing room.

Rheinard closed the gap one more time but finally ran out of time. The result from A3 was putting Urbain second on the podium ahead of Rheinard. Yannic Prümper snatched fourth place away from Ronald Völker who unluckily flew off the track in A3 after being fourth quickest all weekend long.

Perfection of Pro Stock racing as Ellerbrock wins big in Luxembourg

A2 – Lukas Ellerbrock is the overall winner of the Pro Stock class in Luxembourg after a crazy race. Ollie Bultynck found his way by teammate Louis Kretschmer in the second lap of the race when Kretschmer almost lost his car in the downhill entry section of the laguna-seca. A powerslide from Ellerbrock in lap 4 allowed Bultynck and Kretschmer to close the gap again and also Jesper Rasmussen was not far behind running in fourth position.

It was a very close race coming into the last minute of the race and Bultynck gave his all to pressure Lukas Ellerbrock into a mistake – which simply didn`t happen. Ellerbrock showed nerves of steel and brought home his second win of the season after also taking maximum points from the season opener in Apeldoorn. Behind Ellerbrock, the top 5 in A2 was completed by Bultynck, Kretschmer, Johannessen, and Valent. By the way: the top 3 crossed the finish line within 0.197 of a second which was INSANE!

A3 – Louis Kretschmer took A3 of the Pro Stock class to finish second overall. Ollie Bultynck finished second and Sören Sparbier third in the last final of the day. The overall result is as they qualified in the top three with Ellerbrock, Kretschmer, and Bultynck on the podium. Mugen driver Sören Sparbier took a strong “best of the rest” fourth position (as expected in the event`s preview report), and was followed by a very happy Helge Johannessen (B-Main bump um driver) in fifth place!

Valent wins in Luxembourg after “on the edge” move in A3 – Libar unlucky second! (FWD)

A2 – Jacques Libar took the win in the second Frontwheel A-Main after A1 didn`t went to his favour yesterday. Libar was laying down a perfect run on the tarmac of his home track while Mark Valent, Frederik Hovgaard, and Jitse Miedema had a clean and close fight for the positions behind Libar. The finishing order was Libar, Valent, Hovgaard, Miedema, and Weffers.

After Libar`s win in A2, the battle for the overall victory in Luxembourg continued in the deciding third A-Main where Mark Valent and Jacques Libar had to battle it out on track once more

A3 – Jacques Libar was leading the race until Mark Valent passed him in the corkscrew with a nice move. Libar took the position back with an identical attack some laps later. Shortly before the end, Valent was touching the rear of Libar`s car when they were both coming onto the straightway. Libar`s chances for the overall win had been gone in this moment, and the home crowd was absolutely disappointed after that had happened. It was a tough race incident and there was no call from the referees, so it was kind of “on the edge”. Good for Valent, bad for Libar! Valent took the overall win in the end and was joined by a very unlucky Jacques Libar, and Jitse Miedema on the podium.

Ehrbar holding off Zierold in thrilling finals to celebrate second win of the season! (Masters)

A2 – After loosing A1 in the last lap to Zierold on Saturday evening, Xray driver David Ehrbar had to win A2 to stay in the fight for the overall win in Luxembourg. After the start, Zierold (Awesomatix) quickly found his way by second place starter Eric Anderson (Awesomatix) and was following Ehrbar. Zierold was closing the gap to Ehrbar lap after lap and came very close as they approached the last minute of the race. It was almost looking like a copy of A1 where Zierold made an epic pass on Ehrbar in the last lap but this time, Ehrbar was standing his ground for A2 victory. Eric Anderson finished third again and was followed by Gilles Choque, and Toni Mateo who moved up from eight on the grid to the fifth spot. With Ehrbar and Zierold winning one final each, the showdown for the overall win went down to the line in A3.

A3 – It was another good start for Ehrbar off the line. Zierold moved up to second place quickly (as in A1 and A2) and started to hunt down the Xray of David Ehrbar again. Gilles Choque from Luxembourg was running in third place. Zierold was much faster than Ehrbar and pushed him around the track until he found himself in the grass after being too close to Ehrbar in the infield section. Zierold`s chances for the win had been blown away in a second. Ehrbar brought home the win in what was a great race in the 40+ Masters class. Michel Zierold and Gilles Choque joined him on the podium!

A2 – After a thrilling end of A1 yesterday, Kristian Jensen was putting his head down in A2 and drove to the overall victory in Luxembourg. Jaroslav Jun. Kriz was shadowing him for the entire run but Jensen did not make any special offer to Kriz and so they finished how they started off the grid. Michael Koos, Gilles Choque, and Oliver Bilweis rounded out the top 5 in the second A-main of the Orca 21.5 Stock class. Congratulations to first time ETS race winner Kristian Jensen!

A3 – Jaroslav Jun. Kriz took the win tin the last final of the day. Timo Siebert had bad luck when he spun out on the curbing in the teardrop at the end of the long straightway. He also collected third placed Michael Koos and Carlos Gabriel do Pinhal and Jan Gehrig earned second and third place from them. Oliver Bilweis (bumped up from the B-Main) finished on a strong fourth place in the last final. The overall results saw Kristian Jensen on the top step of the podium joined by Jaroslav Jun. Kriz and Jan Gehrig.

Impressive Ehrbar wins the Formula class at “Mini Circuit Ville de Luxembourg”

A2 – David Ehrbar took another win in A2 and sealed the win here at ETS RD3 in Luxembourg in an impressive way. The Xray driver was in a world of his own all weekend long and was rewarded with maximum points for the championship. A2 saw a nice battle for second, third, and fourth place involving Michal Wojcik, Andreas Stiebler, and Luka Jovicic. They showed great Formula racing for the entire five minutes while Ehrar had already checked out. Stiebler made a nice pass on Wojcik in lap number 10 and moved up to second spot. The finishing order in A2 was Ehrbar, Stiebler, Wojcik, Jovicic, and Kampehl.

A3 – Race winner David Ehrbar was watching the third final from the side-line and saw a nice race for the remaining podium positions between Michal Wojcik, Andreas Stiebler, and Luka Jovicic. Wojcik was able to break away from Stiebler who had a lot of work to do to keep hometown boy Luka Jocivic behind. After five minutes, the A3 finishing order was Wojcik, Stiebler, Jovicic, Sadrinna and Kampehl. The podium was completed by race winner David Ehrbar, second placed Michal Wojcik, and Andreas Stiebler!
