Orlowski claims first ETS victory

Michal Orlowski has claimed his first Euro Touring Series victory, the Schumacher driver winning the season finale today from Ronald Volker in a battle that went to A3.  Having secured his first ever overall TQ in the Modified class, the Pole wrapped up a very successful Saturday in Daun, Germany, by winning the opening A-Main from the front.  With Sunday’s action kicking off with the second round of Mains, it wasn’t a good start for the 21-year-old as a mistake on the opening lap dropped him to the back of the pack.  Up front, Volker took his Mugen to an easy win ahead of the Awesomatix of Marc Rheinard while Orlowski recovered to finish fourth behind the Yokomo of Christopher Krapp.  Laying down the fastest lap of A3,  Orlowski resisted the pressure from one of the ETS’ most successful drivers, finishing 3/10ths of a second up on Volker to land his first ever ETS win.  Volker who would celebrate yet another overall ETS title finishing 2 points ahead of Rheinard who completed the podium in Daun.  In the ETS’ largest class, Pro-Stock, Simon Lauter took his fourth win of the season to secure the overall title for Awesomatix.
