4WD Modified Buggy
Ronnefalk to start second behind Orlowski, teammate Zalewski takes impressive third place on the grid!
Q3- The third round of qualifying on Saturday evening saw Michal Orlowski posting another TQ run with his Schumacher buggy. Orlowsky took the round by 0.7 seconds from his fellow countryman Bartosz Zalewski (Xray) who was pushing really hard on track.
Burak Kilic (Mugen Seiki) and Noah Ben Mohamed (Schumacher) took the points for third and fourth place for the round with their times coming from the b-heat. Xray`s Martin Bayer was fifth quickest (fastest lap of the round 19.321) while drivers like 2WD race winner Marcus Kaerup and Xray`s David Ronnefalk had some bobbles here and there causing them to not finish in the top five in Q3.
Q4- Michal Orlowski stamped authority onto the 4WD class when he posted his third TQ run of the event. But he had to work hard for the win as many guys had a great pace in Q4. Burak Kilic was able to take second for the round with his time coming from the b-heat, and he was followed by Micha Widmaier, David Ronnefalk, and Marcus Kaerup to complete the top 5.
Ronnefalk will start second behind TQ Orlowski and we are already looking forward to some amazing battles in the triple finals on Sunday – don`t miss it!

4WD Stock Buggy
Hofmann takes last minute TQ from Bidovsky after chaotic Q4
Q3- Ales Bidovsky took another win with his Xray buggy in Q3. The racer from the Czech Republic was the fastest driver on track and had a massive gap of 5.3 seconds over second placed Aaron Waitz. Lennard Rademacher found his way to third for the round when he was quicker as the fourth and fifth placed drivers Mick Burbach and Stefan Mats. The decision for the overall TQ came down to the line in Q4 and it was all between Ales Bidovsky and Daniel Hofman!
Q4- Stock Buggy Q4 was a close affair between Hofman and Bidovsky. Both had a similar pace but it was Bidovsky who was in the lead most of the time. When Bidovsky had some traffic in the last minute of the race, he suffered from bad luck as one of the lapped cars did not let him by. Bidovsky lost some tenths which had been very costly as he lost the overall TQ to Daniel Hofman in this moment. Bad luck for Bidovsky and not the cleverest driving from the backmarker car – you can do better for sure! We are looking ahead to some very promising finals on Sunday when Hofman, Bidovsky, Waitz, and Burbach will go for it…

Modified Truck
Neumann on pole for triple finals
Q3- After Jörn Neumann had taken the opening two rounds of Modified Truck qualifying in Daun, he did not have a clean run in Q3 where he rolled his truck over two times. His Sworkz teammate Micha Widmaier did a better job and took maximum points together with the fastest runtime of the weekend so far.
This Q3 result shifted the decision for the overall pole position down to Q4 where the two Sworkz teammates and friends Neumann and Widmaier had to battle it out. Max Götzl, Senne Pauwels, and Noah Schwartz completed the top 5 for the round!
Q4- The last round of qualifying went to Max Götzl from the Xray team. He took full advantage when leader Neumann was blocked by a backmarker leading his truck to land on the roof.
Neuman finished 2 seconds behind Max Götzl in Q4 but due to his two TQ runs in the morning we will see Neumann starting from pole into the triple finals. Let`s hope for a great show of racing in the Modified truck class on Sunday!
