Marc Rheinard is the overnight TQ holder here in Budapest, Hungary, after the World Champion took maximum points in the penultimate round of qualifying for Round 2 of the Xenon Racing backed Euro Touring Series.  Setting a new fastest time and just missing out on breaking into the first 25 lap run of the event, the German reversed the order of Q2 to head home his Tamiya Racing Factory team-mate Viktor Wilck with a time of 24L/5:00.301. Rheinard’s first clean run of the day, he said his 416X was easier to drive allowing him to also set a new fastest lap for the large indoor track with a 12.322.  Wilck said his car was suffering  with a little understeer but nothing too major.

After posting only the seventh fastest time in the opening qualifier here in Hungary, ETS championship leader Viktor Wilck has bounced back to top Q2 with a new fastest run of 24L/5:05.938.  The Tamiya/Speedpassion driver swapped times with his team-mate Marc Rheinard throughout the 5-minutes but three laps from the end the German lost over 4-seconds when he made a mistake and was hit by the two following cars.  Behind the Tamiya pairing Ronald Volker took his LRP powered Yokomo BD5 to third, unable to better his Q1 TQ run time.

Yokomo team driver Ronald Volker has TQ’d the opening round of qualifying here in Budapest where the Top 4 drivers were separated by just 1.7 seconds.  The German ace, who opted to run the prototype LiPo chassis BD5, said he wasn’t the fastest on track but keeping the run clean had given him the valuable maximum points for the round as he topped the time sheets by 2/10ths from Xray’s Teemu Leino.  Leino reported his T3 as having a little push but was OK with second, having also taken a cautious approach to his driving.
