Remarks – Young polish driver Michal Orlowski is running the brand new Cougar KF2 from Schumacher for the very first time here in Berlin. The car features an all new motor mount, paired with a new transmission housing. The rear arms are now held in place by a pivot system, and the slipper now features three pads. The front top deck has been removed – although it is still available as an option part – and the new alu chassis is strengthened with two side stiffeners. Michal was using the “shorty” battery pack conversion but the stock car would normally use saddle packs.
