In addition to buzz created by Hara racing on carpet for the first time since 2011, Round 2 of the ETS in Muelheim-Kaerlich would also draw an air of excitement among competitors due to the fact that the series’ 35th race would be its biggest yet. Hanging banners on Thursday evening I noticed that track building seemed to be a new spectator sport as a large number of the record 320 individual drivers (361 entries) hung out in the hall ahead of the race.

The spirit of the Detonator lives in the 1980’s, starting with the rear biased, over rear tower, hung cab, large window detail and roll-bar treatment outlining the stout individual pillars. The side-pods are simple, yet effectively cover the aluminium tub chassis and multiple side windows, including the vintage back window, stand out as class leading details.
