2nd round of the season brings racers to the shortest and bumpiest track of the season - the 2.5 kilometer temporary course on a container field. Very variating width and turns makes this a great challenge for the 600 horsepower VERL car. The surface is known to bite chunks off tyres,so tyre change probably won't be avoided - previous races shows that most drivers needed fresh set of rubber in pits to complete the full 200 kilometers distance.

Season opener revealed some trends for this season - few main title candidates without any previous champions getting involved. However nothing is set yet and everything can change,especially with probably the toughest challenge of the season coming up next.

Round 2 visited VERL's own classic tough challenge - the bumpy Container Sprint track. 11 drivers accepted the challenge and were ready for the struggles,however only 8 also crossed the finish line,half of them completed full 80 laps distance.

There is no official count of winning streaks in VERL,but Zesty surely would have made a new or repeated record by winning 3 races in row - despite quite weak qualifying performance,the malaysian made a progress of 6 positions during the race,setting also fastest lap of the race. Also 2nd place finisher started from inside of one of the lower rows - 4th place on grid made it possible to reach 2nd place with late race pass for Rony. Despite losing position during last few laps,Strutter still scored his 1st ever VERL podium finish after leading 30 laps eary in race.


After half of the season the leader is clear - 2 wins in 2 races obviously puts Zesty in commanding lead of 15 points in the championship table. What can be done in 1 season half by one driver can be done in 2nd season half by other driver,so nothing is secured yet,however scoring all possible points from next round would secure the 1st VERL championship for Zesty. The actual close competition is now only for 2nd position in championship - after finishing 2nd in latest round,Rony takes same position in table,but has only 2 points advantage over Strutter and 3 points over another 2 following drivers. There is still only a single rookie with a race finish,so award for best rookie is still on hold.

Team S1dus scored a single point more than their closest rivals RGA,so the gap has raised to 19 points now in teams championship,Fragmaster is the new 3rd place thanks to sole effort - already 35 points apart leaders. Top2 nations both scored 17 points in this round,so nations cup standings stay at status quo with 5 points between leading Finland and Malaysia,Latvia is still 3rd with 20 points gap to lead.

The shorter configuration Westhill National is next in the scedule,this season run in reversed direction. 46 laps around it will be a proper challenge for VERL drivers,so if someone wants to make a proper statement for season standings,he has to earn it.
