- Hot Bodies TCXX - Oliver Franke - LRP TCM - Althengstett - 26-28.04.2013 -



"as you already have heard the TCM went pretty good for me I was able to TQ 4 out of 5 qualification runs and was also on top after the practice. In the finals i won every final with quite a big distance tot he second placed. So on Sunday evening the podium was: 1. Me 2. Marek Cerny (already won 2 ETS races this season) and 3. Zdenko Kunak (now driving as a yokomo team driver).
So all the european top Stock guys attended.

My car was very good right from the beginning. On Friday the first 3 of 4 practice runs were just to get used to the very technical track and also to find a working set up. I just moved the shocks one hole more to the inside compared to my normal set up. In the last run on Friday in practice i was able to post the fastest time so i was on top after all practice runs. On Saturday i started with the same set up and also with the same set of tires from Friday. But they didnt work that good so i decided to use new ones for Q2. It felt much better then so i was able to TQ the rest of the qualification runs.

On Sunday i still ran with the same set up and it worked awesome. So i was able to win A1 and also A2 with a comfortable lead. I was thinking about not starting in A3 but i decided to also start in the last main. I had some bad luck with overtaking the slower cars but still won with a lead of 7 seconds i think. I could have also overtake the second placed but i lost a couple of seconds in that crash. But anyway the car was just amazing. My best Laptime was 13.0sec and in the Modified A-Main it was only Ronald Völker and Freddy Südhoff who topped it with a 12.9sec. In stock we had a 10.5 LRP X12 Motor with 0 Boost.
