Rheinard converts in leg 2 in Poland

After a poor performance in the opening final Marc Rheinard corrected things in Leg 2 by converting his Warsaw pole position into a rather easy victory over Steven Wiess and Sacha Lnenicka. ‘I drove better, but it would have been hard to drive any worse than I did this morning’ was how the German summed up the race. Finishing 4.5 seconds clear of Weiss’ Yokomo, the Championship leader said the track feels like it has less traction than yesterday and this is causing his Tamiya to be quite loose, but despite this he doesn’t plan any set-up changes for the deciding leg. Going into the third leg any one of five drivers can still take the win here at the Arena Ursynow.
