Kaerup wins 2WD at EOS

Team Associated’s Marcus Kaerup has opened his 2025 season with victory at the EOS race in Daun, Germany.  Previously a multiple round series, Kaerup a previous Euro Offroad Series round winner, for 2025 the EOS is a one off event which opened with 2WD action on the temporary Racestars built indoor carpet track.  In qualifying it was reiging Euro Offroad Series Champion Michal Orlowski, with 3 TQs from the 4 rounds, who was the Top Qualifier from Kaerup, who topped Q3, with his returning for 2025 AE team-mate Clement Boda completing the Top 3.  In the triple finals, A1 saw a great battle between the Top 2 as Kaerup put the Schumacher driver under pressure until Orlowski clipped a board on landing which was enough for the 17-year-old Dane to get through for the win from team-mate Tommy Hall as the pole sitter dropped down the order.  In A2 reigning European Champion Orlowski led from start to finish winning by 2.6-seconds from Kaerup meaning it would all come down to A3.  Locked in another super close battle at the front, Kaerup would make contact with the leader which would result in the Pole’s buggy ending up on its roof.  While Kaerup waited from Orlowski to retake his lead, this bunched back up the field before a mistake from Orlowski dropped him down order as Kaerup took the A3 win from Daniel Kobbevik to claim the overall 2WD win.  Despite having to count his A1 P5, Orlowski would finish runner-up with Kobbevik completing the podium ahead of new 2025 Schumacher recruit Noha Ben Mohamed.  Drivers will now turn their attention to 4WD for the next two days.
