Most of the times I try to run on Volante tires as most other races are on that one. Last time it was very difficult to fight for the top spot as some guys were doing some good times on Sorex tires. So for this time I also started on Sorex tires. But I found out quickly that was not good for me and not working with the set-up I used to drive. So after qualifying 2nd spot I went back to my well known Volante tires before the finals.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">In the opening lap I noticed I really liked the handling of the car and felt confident to start the 1st final. I was able to stay really close to Robert Krens on his Sorex tires and had to held back some corners as the cornerspeed on Volante is much higher. But as on a tight track passing is very difficult I couldn\u2019t make a move. Eventually he drove away a little. When I was able to close the gap a little Robert got issues with his sensor wire and had to retire. So I won the first final with no real pressure from behind. Jari did a good job this final by coming in 2nd closely followed by Ronald on 3rd. For me I drove a new personal best laptime, a 10.6 lap. In qualification I did 10.8 on Sorex tires. Last race with the \u2018old\u2019 car I also did 10.8 laps.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">The second final I again was able to stay close to Robert but again couldn\u2019t make a good move. After a few laps we started to overtake the rear of the field and I found myself hitting a slower car which costed me the connection to Robert. I came in 2nd.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">The 3rd final I was close to Robert the first few laps but then he started to pull away a little. In the middle of the race I came back a little but before really coming back to him he rolled over his car so I was now in front. Coming back on 4 wheels Robert noticed his spur gear was broken so he couldn\u2019t come after me anymore.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Overall I won the race and was really happy with the handling of the new car on the aluminium chassis ! With Ronald and Jari completing the podium it was an all TM podium which felt really good!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Car-Rob.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6513 size-full\" title=\"TRIPLE WIN for TM E4RS4 at the MRC Cup round 3 at Vianen !!\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Car-Rob.jpg\" alt=\"TRIPLE WIN for TM E4RS4 at the MRC Cup round 3 at Vianen !!\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Car-Rob.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Car-Rob-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Car-Rob-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.hrcdistribution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Car-Rob-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Original report from Andr\u00e9 vd Wal (Jari&#8217;s father):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">With about 70 drivers and 5 classes with 23 drivers in the stock class (17.5T) it promised to be a long day.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Just one week before the race we received \u00a0the aluminum chassis for the E4RS4, we could not test it so it was a guess which setup we should \u00a0use.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">We decided to use the NK setup from Rob Janssen, and \u00a0it worked straight away.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">After a little setup adjustment we decided to change nothing more, the car was awesome. Jari was \u00a0qualified 4th and drove a good 1st final, he became second after Rob Janssen.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">In the second final Jari drove on average a better time but finished 3th after Robert and Rob.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">In the 3rd final by some unfortunate circumstances, Jari got 7th place. Anyway the best two finals count so overall 3rd. It was a good racing day for Team TM the Netherlands \u00a0with 4 E4RS4 cars in A main and a full TM podium.
