2nd half of the 4 round season takes action to Westhill - only environment where VERL has run at least one race on every of it's seasons,including league's inaugural race back in 2015 and first race with the new car 2 years ago. This season the shorter configuration National will be used in reversed direction - a track has a very tricky tightening 1st turn,preceeded and followed by 2 longest straights. The twisty middle portion of the course will require patience with throttle pedal - unleashing all 600 horsepower at wrong time will surely cause spin.

Defending winner of the round is the same driver,who has won both races this season - if he happens to repeat the performance and take all points from this round,he can take early vacation as the title will be already secured. The best battles are expected to be for 2nd position in drivers standings and for nations cup while teams championship has a distinct leader already.

2nd half of the short season had a very low attendance - just 5 drivers were ready to take the challenge of shorter and twistier Westhill configuration,recording the lowest attendance in the series since 2020 season finale in Fern Bay. As always in such case the rule of half distance for half points kicks in,postponing any bigger decisions to final round of the season,especially with non attendance of table leader.

The lack of competition opened up the doors for defending vice champion Thehemuli,who in return had no competition for him in this round. The finn scored his 1st pole position in qualifying by being 2/3 of a second faster than closest rival and run away from chasers during the race,setting one fastest lap after another to cross finish line first for the first time. The 2nd place seemed to be unwanted - both contenders politelly left each other by couple times until the front row starter spun his car. This way Rony was able to clinch the 2nd place finish ahead of his rival of the day Strutter.


Despite not attending,Zesty remains on top of the drivers championship table,however his advantage has shunk to 7 points over closest rival,which now is Thehemuli,Rony is 3rd another point further away. For Zesty a 2nd place finish is enough to guarantee championhip in any scenario,taking one of the bonus points reduces his required finishing position to 3rd. There are still not enough rookies finishing a race,so this competition is still not activated.

Team S1dus completelly missed the round,but still kept the table lead as closest rivals RGA were able to score just 6 points,reducing the gap to 13 points. Zafiralis retook the 3rd position and is now 22 points behind table lead. Finland increased their lead in nations cup standings to 20 points over Malaysia,increasing their chances to repeat success of previous 4 years,Latvia is still 3rd with 9 points gap to 2nd place. Since neither Malaysia and Latvia has 2nd driver,Finland clinches the title with signups closure if there are no new signups for the chasing countries.

Season finale will take place in 2 weeks in track used in last season's opener round - Aston Grand Prix,the longest standard configuration of LFS. The 8.8km circuit needs just 23 laps to complete 200 laps of VERL race,last season the distance was completed in 56 and half minutes.
