Having dominated qualifying Ronald Volker had to work a lot harder for victory in the opening A-Main at the DHI Cup, the Yokomo driver only just hanging on for the win as challenges from both Yannic Prumper and Marc Rheinard ended with them each suffering rolls. In the end Volker would cross the line over a second clear of Rheinard, but the Infinity driver had the fastest car on track and looked a much more threatening proposition than he had in qualifying, his two rolls costing him over 3-seconds. Recovering from an early roll, that allowed Rheinard through, Elliott Harper…

Michal Orlowski cruised to an easy victory in the opening A-Main of 2WD Buggy at the DHI Cup this morning. The Top Qualifier quickly pulled clear of the field and such was his lead that even with a roll off the corner table table which required his Schumacher to be marshalled he still had more than half a lap advantage at the finish. Behind, Elias Johansson would take second, the young Swedish talent having an equally comfortable gap of the battle for third which would go to David Ronnefalk. Commenting on his win, reigning champion Orlowski said, ‘we changed the…

Reigning 2 and 4WD DHI Cup Champion Michal Orlowski will start his title defence from the best place possible after the Schumacher driver made it a TQ double in Denmark as he claimed the 4WD pole in the fourth & final round of qualifying at this year’s event. Having secured the 2WD TQ earlier in the day after just three rounds, the Pole had to wait until the fourth & final 4WD qualifier after Q2 produced the only glitch in an otherwise dominant performance from the teenager. Orlowski didn’t have it easy however with star of the 2018 DHI Cup…

Ronald Volker is Top Qualifier at the 18th running of the DHI Cup. Chasing an 8th victory at the Danish classic, the Yokomo driver wrapped up pole with a third TQ run in the penultimate round of qualifying. Going on to make it a clean sweep in the fourth & final qualifier and with reigning champion Viljami Kutvanen absent from Odense this year, it looks like it is Volker’s race to lose tomorrow given his form over the last two days. Behind the World Champion, it will be reunited team-mate Yannic Prumper who will start second ahead of Elliott Harper,…

Michal Orlowski has resumed his reign at the DHI Cup, recovering from a glitch in the second round of 4WD qualifying to take penultimate round ahead of the increasingly impressive Elias Johansson. 13-year-old Johansson has looked competitive from the start of the weekend and has looked increasingly confident at the controls of his Team Associated. In Q2, the Swede was there to pick up the pieces when Orlowski made a set-up change that wasn’t to his liking claiming the TQ ahead of former champion Jörn Neumann. Joining Orlowski as the only driver to run 17-laps in qualifying with a P2…

With the 2WD qualifying wrapped up, the attention on the offroad track at the DHI Cup turned to Q1 of 4WD which was to be a familiar story as Michal Orlowski topped the times. Running a prototype chassis, the Schumacher driver would be the only one to go 17-laps with the Team Associated cars of Jesper Rasmussen and Elias Johansson providing the main challenge to the reigning champion. Separated by 6/10th they would have a 3-second advantage on the HB of David Hassell who just saw off Joern Neumann. While Hassell had his HB prototype in the mix, his superstar…
