The 14th season of AWS starts with a race with the slowest car that has ever been racing in Blackwood within All-wheel-drive Winter Series - a 103 horsepower small sedan named Prodigy AWD,which is lapping the 1.8km rallycross track in around 1 minute and 12 seconds depending on driver's skill. Rallycross races usually have been plagued with overheating tyres,so the organization has been searching for solutions,one of those is to bring engine power down,so with this car it will be pretty much normal racing partially running on slippery surface. Taking care about resources is still important - with an unknown car,best drivers will be those who can adapt quickly!

In the early phase before start of series,the signups list is quite short,but still features all 3 best racers of previous season,together with some well experienced racers and couple rookies this season already has a potential to become interesting in terms of competition for all awards.

With introduction of mods the palette of cars in LFS has been increased highly,with this we can now select cars that don't burn it's tyres during the rallycross race - this was the case yesterday with the new to series Prodigy AWD car. Slow speeds mean less mistakes and with it less pace difference - that created other set of difficulties as drivers happening to be behind a bit slower driver struggled to overtake him,but eventually everyone found way past and the field spread out according to race pace,except for the leading duo,which finished less than half of a second apart.

Despite the close finish,the 3-time AWS vice champion Dzidoris kept his leading position just slightly stressed as he led every single lap of the race - with this round the lithuanian scored his 9th pole position and 9th race win in AWS (both all time 2nd most),taking also the bonus point for fastest lap of the race. During the race he was closelly chased by his teammate Falcon,who repeated his best AWS race result - 2nd place finish. To make the clean podium sweep,3rd place was taken by Rony,who profited on his teammate's network failure just before starting last lap.


4 points is the advantage in standings for the race winner after 1st round - the order of table as usually is the same as race results after just 1 round done. 3rd place is 2 points off 2nd place.

Same situation is in Cross Challenge standings - 2 more races to go for this award with season finale being also part of the award decision. Currently best rookie is Cyk,who finished 8th in the race,however this award is currently on hold as there is a requirement of at least 2 rookies finishing the race - the 2nd rookie participating in season opener retired very early.

Good setup engineering probably was the key of the success of defending champions taking all the glory in round 1 - RGA has already 22 points lead after 1st round over closest rivals Zafiralis,followed by Yes Motorsports by a single point - both of the teams have just a single driver in their lineup. Lithuania leads the nations cup standings by 10 points over defending 3-time champions Finland,Canada is 3rd another 3 points behind.


Round 2 is probably the most difficult round of this season's schedule - a powerful supercar with fully road legal setup is set to be raced in one of the toughest configurations of South City. The Adda with a V10 engine will be the most powerful car in AWS history,however unlike all other high powered cars used in the league,it does not have neither slick tyres or great aerodynamic assistance. This race will be a proper test to driver's skills and patience - good practice is not an option for success,it will be needed!
