Having kicked off his home event with the fastest time in free practice, Michal Orlowski went on to top 2WD seeding for Round 2 of the Euro Offroad Series in Warsaw, Poland. Fastest in the first of the two controlled practices from Bruno Coelho, the Schumacher driver went quicker in CP2 with a ‘lucky’ last lap that denied Marc Rheinard from topping times. Running two cars in the second practice but losing the front wheel off his better car after just a lap, Coelho would end up third having to count his CP1 time. Behind, Lee Martin would be one of only 4 drivers in the Top 10 to improve in CP2 with that time leaving the reigning champion 4th for the seeding ahead of fellow countryman Neil Cragg, with Martin Bayer completing the Top 6.
