In the most amazing finish of any LFS season, ELR```Andy(GER) has clinched the OWRL S2 Season 5 Div A title. The German driver finished the final race in 3rd place behind his main championship rival pod.ISKuGa. This brought the two drivers on the same amount of points. With both having one win and two 2nd places, it was Andy(GER)'s 3rd place that gave him the edge in the final championship standing.
That 3rd place was under threat in the final laps of the Aston Historic race by ISKuGa's teammate, pod.Krutch. Even though Krutch and Andy(GER) almost made contact in the final corner, the ELR-driver stayed ahead and earned his 2nd OWRL Championship in style.
In hindsight, the four race season was decided in the very first corner, where ISKuGa was involved in an incident, allowing Andy(GER) to finish second. Race-winner Misko looked like a hot prospect for the championship as well, but did not had the speed nor the luck to perform well enough in the three other races. ISKuGa was on fire for the next three races and score one win and two second places. All but enough to get ahead in the final championship standings, as Andy continued to finish on the podium.
Final Standings:
- ELR```Andy (GER) - 105 pts
- pod.ISKuGa - 105 pts
- cyber|Miško - 78 pts
"It doesn't get any closer than this," says OWRL Head Admin Krutch. "We knew it was going to be close in the final race, but not this close! It marks the first time in the long OWRL history the top two are on the same amount of points, and then a 3rd place decides the finishing order. Unbelievable! Congrats to Andy(GER)."
