Commentary by Jonathan Palmer and Dominik Engel
After the final Oval race of the season, the LFSCART Series heads to its final two races of the season. The penultimate round is perhaps going to be the toughest of them all, at the tight and twisty Fern Bay Gold Reversed circuit. Very few long straights, coupled with fast, sweeping corners make overtaking difficult on this track. Focus is required to keep the car on the narrow path.
There are 25 drivers mathematically eligible for the championship at this point. While it really isn't an indicator of competitiveness this season, this "closeness" is down to the lack of consistent participation in the series as in years past. The series usually would have a handful of drivers in the title fight, who had been racing almost all, if not all, of the season. What we have seen this season is an unfortunate inconsistency of participation that has offered small grid sizes, and no real consistent fights through the season.
The previous round, at the Kyoto Oval Reversed, saw Nikifor Djakovic take the win after having a battle with Martin Kapal, Steven Martin, and Zdenek Cagas. The trio essentially gifted Djakovic the win when they had to save fuel late in the race, losing them contact with Djakovic, enabling him to be the first repeat winner in this LFSCART Season.
Selected Driver comments for the Jamaican Grand Prix:
Nikifor "N I K I" Djakovic: "It's rare to have an opportunity to handle that very quick and at the same time rewarding car. The thrill is that I don't know is there going to be a chance to win the series just yet. That might become clearer after Jamaican GP. For the moment, I'm just enjoying this single seater car, lap by lap. "
Arttu "Smashmolth" Ylostalo: "Even the track is very tight it is really fast and there is lot of fast corners. There is only few places where to pass so q is important. Maybe the hardest track during season. "
Thorsten "Masterboy19660815" Ulrich: "well at first, thanks for that series. It's the last one which I'm really focused on. Spending quite A long time with building set's and that stuff.
And now it's quite cool, that I'm able to fight for the Champ, as we're also leading the Team-Champ with Race Green Autosports (RGA). I never thought, that my pace is that good to fight for the Champ in the "big" LFSCART. As I was like 1 year ago a nobody knew me really as I was stuck in thee development by TRR and they're behaviour. Now in RGA I can do what I want. so I'm quite happy to be in this situation. Also the F08 is already since 3 years ( starting with the HF1S Series ) my absolute fav car. Sadly it's not that popular, so the low attendees, hopefully the LFSCART will get more next season.
And yes, I'm absolutely focussing on the Champ, with the boost from So5r"
