Circuit racing is always about driving in circles,occasionally the circles are shorter and have more circular form than most and this sunday it will be the case in AWS - we're gonna race 100 very short circles around the 600 meter dirt oval,layed out in infield of Westhill's International circuit. This will be the 5th AWS race in this short track oval,however for the first time it will be run with the 345 horsepower Imprezzive B2,which in restricted form is known from RandomCar. In pure form the car is able to lap under 22 seconds,so expect to have a fast paced race where errors might be costly,either in form of time loss,position loss and damage with pace loss.

First 2 rounds had a repeated podium order,resulting in same order also in standings - with different track type we can expect also different results,so this round has a great potential to mix up situation in table,only question is - who will gain the benefit of it?

100 laps in less than 37 minutes - that's rate not seen much,but in AWS that's nothing extreme as this was the 5th series visit to the short 600 meters oval. Even if the Imprezzive cannot get close to FXR's pace set in 2022 (best lap 20.26s),the racing was still very fast paced and not many were able to keep the consistent pace through the whole race,resulting in plenty of position swaps between start and finish as only 2 drivers finished in same position they started from.

One of these drivers was Falcon,who broke the 22 seconds laptime mark in qualifying,marking himself as top candidate for win. The canadian led every single meter of the 60 kilometers race - already from green lights he started to ease away from competition and never had to fight direct battles for race win,setting also fastest lap of the race with 14 laps left,with this he joins the list of AWS race winners as this was the first one for him. The defending AWS champion Sobis proved his experience in this specific track and found 2 positions to gain during the race to finish 2nd,during the late phase of the race decreasing the gap to leader to 2.3 seconds - the lithuanian is the first and only non-RGA driver to finish on podium during the 1st half of the season. The current standings leader Dzidoris qualified 2nd besides his main rival for championship,but struggled during the race,eventually rescuing 3rd place finish.


With these results the race for championship has returned to square 1 for both main candidates - Dzidoris and Falcon reached a tie in points count,however the lithuanian is ahead on tiebreaker (2 wins against 1),the new 3rd place in table is now the defending champion Sobis with 14 points gap.

After 2 rounds the Cross challenge standings are now led by Falcon,who is 2 points ahead of Dzidoris,3rd also here is Sobis,who also here is the defending champion with 9 points gap to leader. 3rd and final round for this award is the season finale in Fern Bay. This was also the 1st of 2 rounds for Oval trophy,where Falcon takes the lead by 4 points over Sobis,with Dzidoris in 3rd another 2 points behind. This award will be decided in round 5 in Kyoto oval. With another 4 points scored,Cyk extends his lead in Rookie of the year standings,closest rival however has changed - Madjester is currently 2nd best rookie in the series,12 points apart in table.

Despite not sweeping the podium for the 1st time in season,RGA keeps pulling away from competition with big steps and now reaches 61 points gap over Yes Motorsports,which is closelly followed by Zafiralis. Also Lithuania has set another big step towards Nations cup win as their drivers extended the lead to 32 points over defending champions Finland,which is just a point ahead of 3rd placed nation Canada.


The next round will be run in a much bigger circle in Westhill - the Westhill Street Cup will bring back the recently updated electric AWD version of XFR. The car has received more realistic aerodynamics and better suspension,making it ready for it's first assignment on fully paved surface - the 10.6 kilometers long Westschleifenring. This round will add another element to racing - it will feature 2 races each 5 laps long,however car's energy reserves allow only around 4 and a half laps of full power racing,so it will be needed to save some of it.
