What a great racing week-end for Team HRC / TM Europe at the fifth round of ETS at the wonderful track of Luxembourg.
Both factory drivers Patrick Gassauer and Léo Arnold joined the ProStock A-final, with their TM E4RS III ! Patrick finished overall 4th and Léo 10th.
A podium on 3rd place was possible for Patrick, who was pushed out the track on the last corner of the last final. Ok, it’s racing, we have to accept that luck is an important factor in RC racing, and we are of course not alone in this case. So, no regrets, we have to do better next time, success is in our hands !

In Modified category, Léo missed the A-final during the first saturday’s qualification round, while he was on the way to set the 4th qualification time in this round, due to a broken “old” belt. We learned about that and will never more forget to check every part of the car between two runs.
So, Léo in B-final, battled hard with top drivers, and also had some bad lucks during his final runs, but learned a lot about this kind of high level racing. Patrick made the C-main, and Valentin Lehmann the D-main. Great overall results.
