AWS 2013 Drivers Championship standings
This race was held under the finnish rallycross master's sign again - allthough Kars made few overtake attempts at turn one,he couldn't complete any,so T.Lähteenmäki won the race from pole position,pulling almost 6 seconds gap in latter part of race,setting also a fastest lap. Kars had more to worry to hold his 2nd than care about chasing the leader in 2nd half of the race,but his teammate Muc had to settle for 3rd. 4th finished Smashmolth,who lost the advantage of front row start in turn 1 of 3rd lap by making a mistake entering that turn,Sobis managed to hold his 5th at the end.
Half of the season has been done,the finnish AWS rookie T.Lähteenmäki has grown a 9 point lead in Drivers Championship standings over closest rival Kars,Invecs follows with another 4 points gap. T.Lähteenmäki's lead in Rookie of the year standings is now 18 points over Muc,who is 4th in overall standings.
Just 1 round left in chase for the RB4 Master title and there are a total of 12 drivers with a theoretical chance to win it,but realistically only 4 of them will battle for it - Invecs leads the standings with 23 points,T.Lähteenmäki is 2nd with same points amount,but his 2nd best position is lower,Muc has 1 point less and his teammate Kars follows with 2 points gap to lead. Aston Club Cross will be the deciding race,held on 4.3km custom rallycross track.
Cross challenge so far has been dominated by T.Lähteenmäki,who has taken every single point available in both rounds,Kars is 2nd with 8 points gap after 2 2nd place finishes,2 rounds still to run for this title - Aston Cross Challenge and the cruelest AWS race Super X 100.
Teams Championship leaders after solid 4th round now are Sex tourism organizers,who have 5 point lead over Race Green Autosports and 7 point lead over CoRe Racing,obviously these 3 teams will sort things out for the title,as other teams lacking either pace,motivation or just luck so far.
Latvia still leads Nations Cup standings,but Finland has cut another 3 points off the lead in last round,making the gap now just 13 points. Czech Republic currently can't keep up with both northern countries in this winter league and has settled for 3rd position.
4 rounds still to run in series,only one of them with RB4,next round is considered as the easiest despite it being the fastest round course round - Aston Grand Prix deffinitely is the best chance to score the point needed to be able to take part in last 2 rounds of AWS.
