After the 4th qualifier, tension rises as 16 drivers randomly selected were on the starting line to win the big prize of the night on a « race of champions » format.

So 8 drivers in each category were to fight in elimination round in reverse way. Starting in quarter final, winners could progress to final stage to win a prize money of 100€. Both winners then were to fight champions of last year Ronald Volker and Joe Streff to win another 100€!!!

 

In stock class, it was cold blooded Nicolas Delisé who successfully defeated all contenders who was in the fight against Joe.

The reigning champion give everything to win the prize but Nicolas was on fire and after 2 very close round, he managed to double his prize!

 

In modified, RC racing gods decided to give us a very strong line up of contenders to get the chance to beat the champion with Ollie Bultynk, David Ehrbar, Freddy Südhoff and Yannic Prümper on the starting line. In the first big fight of the night, Ollie defeated David in what was an exciting race finishing just sooo close!!! 2nd big names fight was 2 semi-final with Yannic defeated Freddy to get his final ticket against Ollie. This 2 guys offered a nice show to get the big final spot and fight against Ronald!!

In the big final, Ronald took a bad start as he broke a C-hub after touching a barrier!! Thanks to fellow Yokomo driver Loïc Jasmin giving him his car, Ronald could start the second round, but Yannic was just on target to the prize and opened a gap in the first lap. Learning the track really fast, Ronald gave everything to come back but couldn’t make it and that was it!!

Round 4 of qualification is over and we have our top qualifier in modified as Ronald Volker take the top spot of the last qualifier of the day.

In stock class, Steffen put another TQ run and it will be hard for Joe Streff to deny him from the overall TQ. Indeed, he will have to TQ the 5th round tomorow morning and to put a better time.

 

In modified, Lucas Urbain made a very good run to take the 2nd spot of the run and the 3rd place on the provisionnal grid. 3rd of the round, Yannick Pruemper made a nice recovery and is going to be one to watch tomorow for the last qualifier.

Ronald Völker and Steffen Leinburger keep on top in Q3 at GP3F

Round 3 of qualification is now over and Ronald and Steffen keep on top of the time sheets.

In stock class, best start was for Manuel Wagner who was leading the field. After having changed his tyre treatment, his car was really fast in the opening laps, but was too hard too drive at the end of the run and he had to take 3rd spot of the round.

Again it was Steffen who finished on top with a clean run with no mistake. The LRP driver is using a HB TCXX with the optional chassis plate and yokomo steering block, giving to him a less aggressive car around the corners. 2nd of the round was Joe who changed his tyres treatment for this round. Thinking that the track was a bit slower, he was happy to maintain his pace and hope to fight for the TQ on last round of the day.

In modified, it was another TQ run for Ronald but this time was quite harder than previously, finishing with only 0.7s in front of Marc Fisher. Ronald will try softer front springs next round.

2nd of the round, Marc Fisher was really happy with his pace, having started his run with no warmup. Softer front springs gave him a better feeling with his car. Third of the round was David Erhbar, who finally put a faultless run to give him a large smile. Running for the first time some new testing parts (new shocks and shock tower, new servo holder) with Marc on their Team Serpent S411, the team is quite happy with the results.

Ronald Völker stays on top on modified as Steffen Leinburger tops Q2 in stock

Round 2 of qualification is over and race to the TQ spot is still open in both categories.

In stock, Steffen answered to Joe taking the round in front of Manuel Wagner. Changing his gearing from 5.2 to 5.4, he didn’t like the feeling of his power package so he will revert to his previous setting.

Manuel Wagner took 2nd place of the round after a nice battle with Steffen. He made a small mistake in the last corner of the last lap trying to catch TQ honours for the round. After a change of tyres treatment duration, he feels very confident with the car and said he drove better than during the 1st round.

Taking the 3rd sport of this round after his very good opening qualifier, Joe said that he didn’t match the pace of Steffen and Manuel during this round but he will change tyres treatment for next round and hope it will allow him to keep in the fight for the overall TQ.

In modified, Ronal took another convincing TQ after another faltless run. Having changed shock oil and piston for this run, he did not find the car really better. He didn’t made any warmup lap to get the most traction during the opening laps, allowing him to improve his best lap to 11.79s.

Taking the 2nd spot of the round, Marc Fisher was quite happy with his run. Having changed a broken driveshaft on the front and his steering block, he feels quite better with the steering of the car. He now plan to make no warmup lap for next round to get the most traction out of his S411.

3rd of the round, French champion Loïc Jasmin said being 3rd was quite a holdup as his team mate Lucas Urbain made a mistake on the last laps allowing him to pass. Switching back to his practice setup, he told that the car was easier to drive but he needed to find steering to improve his pace.
