Orlowski Top Qualifier at ETS Finale

Schumacher Racing’s Michal Orlowski has claimed the overall TQ at the season finale of the Euro Touring Series in Daun, Germany.  The Polish driver claimed his first ever ETS pole position when he topped the fourth & final round of qualifying beating multiple champion Ronald Volker on tie break for the top spot.  Second fastest in seeding practice behind Mugen’s Volker, Orlowski opened qualifying with a TQ run ahead of the German and Awesomatix’s David Ronnefalk, the Swedish Offroad star showing great form on the flat carpet surface.  In Q2 & 3 it was Volker who set the pace but in the decider as the duo swapped times Volker hit trouble and Orlowski got the vital TQ which thanks to his fastest Q1 time secured the overall TQ.  Behind Volker, Marc Rheinard took third ahead of team-mate Ronnefalk with the Yokomo duo of Christopher Krapp and Yannic Prumper completing the Top 6.  With the opening round of finals completing Saturday’s track action, Orlowski took full advantage of his TQ to move one step closer to his first ETS victory as he took A1 by almost 3/10th of a second from Volker with 3rd place going to Krapp, a distant 5-seconds back.
