Round 5 Update

Volker back on top, secures pole
Round five saw Ronald Volker back on top with his LRP powered car. The German set the only 16 lap time of the round to secure his pole position for tomorrows A finals. Behind him, it was Marc Rheinard who said his car was better but still not really good enough
Jilles Groskamp had a solid run to third and Viktor Wilck finished fourth after having to start last due to being late to the grid after his SpeedPower LiPo was over the voltage threshold at the pre-race check
Yannic Preumper took fifth place, Elliott Harper sixth and Juho Levanen seventh. Thomas Pumpler recorded his second top 10 score with an eighth place, Olivier Bultnyck was ninth and Steven Weiss tenth
But it has now started raining here in Aniche, so drivers thoughts turn to preparing their “wet” cars for the final round, either hoping to spring a surprise result or get some testing in before tomorrows finals. The forecast for finals day is uncertain so they want to be prepared
Top 10 after Round 5, counting best 3 scores:

1 Ronald Volker – Germany – 0 points
2 Viktor Wilck – Sweden – 6
3 Jilles Groskamp – Netherlands – 8
4 Elliott Harper – Great Britain – 8
5 Marc Rheinard – Germany – 11
6 Andy Moore – Great Britain – 11
7 Yannic Preumper – Germany – 14
8 Loic Jasmin – France – 21
9 Marc Fischer – Germany – 27
10 Steven Weiss – Germany - 27


We will continue to bring you all the news as the rain now starts to fall, including the press conference from later today and of course full coverage of the finals tomorrow
