Coelho takes close Q2 from Pietsch & Rheinard

Bruno Coelho has made it two out of two in qualifying at the season finale of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series in Germany but unlike last night’s opening qualifier the Xray driver didn’t have it all his own way.  Initially it was Marc Rheinard who laid down the TQ pace with Loic Jasmin taking the challenge to him.  With Ronald Volker suffering a spin and pulling off to save tyres, his car having ‘too much steering’, Jasmin would put Yokomo at the top of the timing screens briefly before Rheinard took it back as Coelho joined the mix.  In the end Coelho would take it on the timing screens from Rheinard but an impressive run from Pietsch in the heat before would put the Mugen driver second fastest, the separation just 0.086 of a second with Rheinard just 2/10ths off.  Viljami Kutvonen would be the only other driver to run 21-laps in the hotter conditions to give him a P4.
