Still can't upload mpr here as it just shows "uploading..." without any progress info for many minutes,so you can get them here: QUALIFYING / RACE

RandomCar's 3rd stop in Fern Bay turned out to be an all midengined car race - top3 in qualifying and top4 in race were running car with this layout. A total of 17 different cars were used in this round,most popular in draw was XRT with 4 draws,however since half of them did not attend,in race the most popular was Acosta Starlin with 3 cars running. With 25 drivers attending this was the least attended round of the season,however with all 25 standing on grid this was not the smallest grid this year.

After missing round 4,J.Holmes returned to RandomCar action with the Acosta Starlin,which hasn't been used much through league's history,but he proved car's competivity in Fern Bay by setting fastest laps in both sessions and leading all 11 laps on the way to his 3rd RC race win,bringing the small italian based sports car to victory lane for the 1st time. For the 2nd time in row the runner up in race was R.Kardol,who run the defending manufacturers champion car URC1. Since the car has been changed between seasons,it's superiority is very limited now as the defending drivers champion had to work hard to keep up with the race leader to bring home 3rd podium finish in 3 tries. 3rd with over half minute gap was 136,who was running the agile XF Turbo 5,bringing it to podium from 5th position on the grid.


Top2 drivers in standings have not changed after round 5,however the points gap has reduced to 10 points between them - after half of the season M is leading over J.Holmes,followed by 136 in 3rd,who is already 31 points behind.

Same situation is in teams championship where top2 also kept status quo - B2R leads over defending champions RGA,however the points gap here is continuously increasing,now reaching 37 points. 3rd is now Team S1dus which jumped up from 5th position,however their gap to lead exceeds the count of their scored points - 98. Once again Lithuania scored most points in nations championship,growing it's advantage over defending champions Finland to 61 points,UK is increasing the gap over rest in race for 3rd position,but already 84 points apart leader. Top2 cars were not used in this round,therefor they keep their positions unchanged,however 3rd is now already withdrawn Coquette Z5. After next round 1st car can qualify for actual standings lead if XM-5 is used and scores it's 6th result which is minimum to be eligible for championship.

Talot is still the most drawn car in RandomCar with already 39 draws over 15 rounds,BZ30 and Imprezzive B2 still are following with 36 each - no real changes here. J.Holmes 1st position in both sessions were best achievements with Acosta Starlin,previous best were achieved by his closest follower in this race and were 6th in qualifying and 3rd place in race. Standings leader's run with the relativelly new Freud Serra was also the best achievement - 4th in qualifying and 6th in race are significantly better than Motimoukari's 25th/20th accordingly achieved in previous round. Yasin was the only one to run one of the new cars - he got the Poscher Caynam and scored the initial best results for it with 14th position in qualifying and 13th in race.

Again the track for next round has not been decided yet - the race winner selected already twice this season,reaching the limit,so the selection has been relayed to 2nd place finisher,who has the options between Autocross and Kyoto - noone has ever selected first of those,so traditionally we may expect visit in Kyoto in 4 weeks.
