Season finale is set to be run in Aston Grand Prix - in the longest standard racetrack in LFS,which measures 8.8 kilometers. The VERL car can do this lap in around 2 minutes and 25 seconds and it requires just 23 laps to complete VERL nominal distance of 200 kilometers,which last year was completed in 56 minutes. Tyre durability probably won't be an issue in this race,unless drivers are too aggressive on tyres,however car should be set up quite universally as the course has high speed straights,fast turns and slow hairpins.

As it should be,in season finale is everything on stake - drivers championship is led by 7 points,so leader cannot allow any big mistakes,especially if main rivals are running on high positions. Also teams championship is undecided,however leading team has a significant advantage. Nations cup might be decided already at signups closure as none of the 2 chasing nations has 2nd driver that at least theoretically would allow to challenge leaders.

Unfortunatelly also the final round of the season saw a very low attendance - just 5 drivers joined and that excluded standings leader,who effectivelly gave up his title away as even with half points rule 2 drivers were still in striking distance with a "simple" task - winning the race. 3 drivers qualified,another 2 were able to join as they were in top10 of championship standings (one very late just to mark himself as started),so it was a "quatrel" for win,which reduced to "triel" very soon.

Thehemuli allowed to beat himself in qualifying,taking only the 2nd position on grid,but with different downforce settings alone he was able to take over the lead in long run to 1st turn - he never gave up in and constantly run away from competition to score his 2nd VERL race win,beating also the track record set last season. Rony raised his hopes for title by being the fastest in qualifying,scoring his 1st ever VERL pole position,but could not keep up with pace of his main rival and had to settle for third 2nd place finish in row. Lorenzo joined late and missed qualifying,however still could find some pace to climb a position to finish 3rd,which is his 1st ever VERL podium finish,beating his previous best race result by one position.


Full season recap and official final standings will be posted within next couple weeks!
