Orlowski holds provisional TQ at 4WD European C/Ship

Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski holds a very provisional overnight TQ at the EFRA 1:10 4WD Offroad European Championship after a challenging day for race organisers in the Netherlands.  Fresh from his 2WD title win on Wednesday at the RACO2000 track, it was Team Associated’s Marcus Kaerup who opened 4WD qualifying with a TQ run over 2WD Vice-Champion Orlowski.  With rain arriving for the top heats of Round 2,  Orlwoski was fastest of the top heat from 2WD Top Qualifier Jöern Neumann, but it would be Sylvain Gallo Selva from heat 4 of 11 that got the fastest time.  With the rain delaying Q3, when action resumed it was Orlowski with the TQ run, this time from Micha Widmaier.  With four of the five rounds of qualifying originally on today’s schedule, Q4 would be hit by a timing software issue.  With a team-managers meeting called, after heated discussions, it was decided that attempts to re-run the penultimate round would take place tomorrow.   With three rounds complete, meaning two would count, it puts Orlowski holding the overnight TQ.
