Coelho again in Q2

Bruno Coelho claimed another TQ run in the second round of qualifying at the Dutch ETS in Apeldoorn this morning, this time the Xray driver topping the times from Awesomatix’s Lucas Urbain.  Having taken yesterday evening’s opening qualifier, Coelho quickly pulled clear of Freddy Sudhoff, the top seed gambling to begin the day on used tyres which after 5-minutes left him P4.  On new tyres, the main challenger to Coelho on the clock would come from Urbain and Alexander Hagberg but with a fastest lap 2/10ths up on everyone else the reigning Champion always had a decent margin in hand.  For a time Ronald Volker looked on target for another Top 3 until he suffered a mechanical just after the 2-minute mark while on his second set of tyres.  It would be Hagberg who would complete the Top 3 5/100th off Urbain after he got stuck behind Jilles Groskamp for a number of laps towards the end of the heat.

Coelho takes opening qualifier at ETS

Bruno Coelho has taken the opening round of qualifying at Round 5 of the ETS in the Netherlands, the Xray driver fastest from the dominant force in practice Freddy Sudhoff.  Starting behind the top seed after team-mate & No. 2 seed Alexander Hagberg opted to sit out Q1, Coelho was able to take advantage of mistakes from both Sudhoff and his Awesomatix team-mate Lucas Urbain to take a slightly surprise TQ run given Sudhoff’s advantage in practice.  Having seeded 8th, Ronald Volker was to complete the Top 3 ahead of Yokomo team-mates Christopher Krapp and Nicholas Lee with Urbain rounding out the Top 6 from Jilles Groskamp.

Sudhoff top seed in Apeldoorn

Freddy Sudhoff is the top seed in Apeldoorn for the the penultimate round of the ETS.  With the second of the two seeding rounds taking place during the hottest part of the day, the seeding was to be based off the opening controlled practice with the Top 17 places remaining unchanged.  Even with the mercury on the rise, Sudhoff maintained his status on the slower track topping CP2 by 2/10ths from Bruno Coelho who hit issues and completed just 4-laps.  While he will run the No.6 in qualifying, Christopher Krapp managed the close the gap on the hotter track as he set the third fastest time of CP2 ahead of Yokomo team-mate Ronald Volker.  With the track around 3/10th slower, Alexander Hagberg will line up second for this evening’s opening qualifier ahead of Coelho, Nicolas Lee, Lucas Urbain and Krapp.

Sudhoff holds clear practice advantage at ETS Apeldoorn

Freddy Sudhoff holds a clear advantage over his rivals at the penultimate round of the Yokomo Euro Touring Series with the Awesomatix driver topping the first controlled practice by a considerable margin from Xray’s Alexander Hagberg and Bruno Coelho.  Racking up his first ever ETS career win at the first outdoor race of the season in Madrid but then struggling at the next round in Austria, Sudhoff is back to form making the large fast flowing AMCA Apeldoorn in the Netherlands look easy.  Laying down the fastest 3-consecutive laps by more than 3/10ths of a second, his rivals are openly finding it hard to match his pace with the bad news being the German is confident the hotter it gets the better his car is going to work.  Unlike most races this year, there is no threat of rain interrupting the schedule with tomorrow, the main day of qualifying set to see temperatures sore to the to the mid 30s.
