Round 1 - GenR Feuerdrache takes maximum points from Aston Classic

The opening round of S2 Season 21 saw a familiar name occupying victory lane. GenR Feuerdrache qualified on pole by being the only driver beating the 1:33 mark and followed up on that by leading the sprint race from start to finish. In the main race, the German driver had to tackle the top 8 reversed grid. Quickly, Feuerdrache moved through the field and then drove away to stamp his mark on the first event of the new season. In both races he was accompanied by TEM/Y.Laprevotte on the podium, who took second in both races. 1stBFA Wings drove an amazing race in the sprint race to finish on the final spot of the podium from his 10th qualifying spot. In the main race, Steelbeen and SRT Tobi swapped third position on multiple occasions, with the SRT-driver fiinally taking the spot.

v\Maddee, rgs077 share race wins at Fern Bay Gold

With S2 Season 21 getting to the second round, FE Gold hosted the final Formula BMW race before the season moves on to other cars. In qualifying, v\J.Peace positioned himself as favorite for the event by taking pole position as the only driver dropping below the 1:19 mark. J.Peace would wind up on the podium with two second places, but that he did not win had all to do with two significant events in the sprint race.

The first one was the start. Whilst J.Peace defended the inside line, his teammate v\Maddee could take more speed on the outside line in turn 1 helping Maddee to get the lead by the time they reached the chicane. The top 3, with GenR Feuerdrache in third, never changed order despite finishing within a half second after 11 laps. The second significant event happened on lap 2 and eventually decided the main race. rgs077 spun after slight contact with Y.Laprevotte, also involving the unlucky Steelbeen. rgs077dropped to the back of the field. He was out of contention for a podium in the sprint race, but he fought back and got up to eight place by overtaking Blacky on the final lap. This meant pole for the main race. Without conceding the lead at any moment, the Russian drove to victory in the main race. The same drivers filled the spots for second and third as in the sprint race, with J.Peace getting a double second place and Feuerdrache, who retains the championship lead, leaving Fern Bay with another third place trophy.

Feuerdrache extends championship lead with double victory

GenR Feuerdrache has marked himself as the clear favorite to win the S2 Season 21 title by scoring his third and fourth win of the season at Westhill International rev. In the Formula XR, the German driver took pole and only really had to overcome resistance in the main race.

In the sprint race, the main battles happened to be around [SR] bLb. After qualifying in second, bLb kept his position but loss of momentum halfway through the lap eventually allowed both M™ Steelbeen and 1stBFA Jati to pass him. After that, the Sonicrealms driver found himself in a long battle with OWRL F1 champion rgs077, eventually getting ahead after a small mistake by rgs077. No chance to get back on the podium though, as this was filled by Feuerdrache, Steelbeen and Jati.

Finishing off the podium, rgs077 and [SR] bLb took advantage of the top 8 reversed grid start to quickly get to the front in the 28 lap main race. Their battle from the sprint race then continued. GenR Feuerdrache was helped by this after he needed a couple more laps to get through the field, doing so in great racing. Feuerdrache may have need some time to get to the leaders, once he was there on lap 8, he disposed of both drivers in two laps time and never looked back to take another perfect score. Close racing continued for the other podium positions in the final 5 laps of the race. Steelbeen and Jati both were able to slipstream past bLb giving us the same podium in the sprint and main race.

J.Peace and Feuerdrache share the spoils at Kyoto North

v\J.Peace earned the pole position in the sprint race and used it to full advantage, keeping the horde away at the start and then building a comfortable gap. GenR.Feuerdrache at first looked like losing a couple of position in the first lap before carving his way past other cars, including an outside pass on rgs077, to get to second position. The only further change for a podium position was the overtake by v\Matiass on rgs077 for third. In the main race an incident in the first corner involved the top two, dropping both J.Peace and Feuerdrache down the field. Up front spdoFiredUp took the lead ahead of TEM|Y.Laprevotte. Fortunes reversed however in the second half of the race. First Y,Laprevotte started losing positions with suspension damage, then FiredUp had to concede the lead. To who? The charging Feuerdrache of course! The German needed 27 laps to get from 11th back to the front. Once he got there, LLM TCLF was the only one able to stay close and finished directly behind the now 5-times race winner this season. Third went to 1stBFA Jati.

In the standings, including the worst result dropped rule, Feuerdrache has a 69 point advantage over Y.Laprevotte, who is closely followed by Steelbeen, Jati, Wings, bLb and rgs077. Any of these followers are still within a chance of the championship if they can gain significant ground on Feuerdrache starting at the next round, Aston Grand North.

Feuerdrache awarded both wins and title in Aston Grand North

GenR Feuerdrache claimed the OWRL S2 Season 21 title and he did so in style. Feurdrache scored his third perfect event this season after taking pole, winning the sprint race and also being awarded the main race victory, despite crossing the line behind rgs077. rgs077 was demoted to third by the marshals after he turned out to have not changed the tyres under his Formula V8 at the mandatory pit stop.

Even if Feuerdrache misses the last round, the points for his worst event makes sure he can not be overtaken. The battle in the drivers championship at Blackwood GP is for second. TEM Y.Laprevotte kept his position but rgs077 is climbing the standings fast and even after the penalty, he is only 12 points away. 1stBFA drivers Wings and Jati are also within striking distance. They will also keep an eye on their team result as in the team championship, GenR has a mathematical chance to overhaul 1stBFA in the final event of the season.

1stBFA takes team championship by a huge margin at Blackwood GP

The dust has settled on the final championship standings. After the final FO8 round at Blackwood GP, already crowned champion GenR Feuerdrache finishes the season 96 points ahead of the second placed TEM/Y.Laprevotte, who managed to do just enough to stay ahead or rsg077 and1stBFA Wings. The three drivers finished ultra close in the standings, just 7 points separating fourth from second. Not so small margins in the team standings. 1stBFA took the team title by extending their lead to 346 points over GenR, with TEM wrapping up third place.

Wings took pole but drew the short end of the stick in the opening laps of the sprint race, eventually finishing just off the podium. rsg077 converted his second place into a first position and never looked back to take his second win of the season. He was joined on the podium by Y.Laprevotte and spdoFiredUp. Wings turned out to get better results from not starting on pole as his early pit stop strategy in the main race gave him plenty of clear track. Wings won the main race six seconds ahead of rsg077. With a third position Y.Laprevotte did what he needed to do to keep second place in the standings, despite dropping to back of the grid in a first corner incident.

With S2 Season 21 finished the OWRL admins have started planning the next MRT Cup. The first race will be on 27 December. More details will be announced soon.
