The OWRL F1 championship has a new leader. SK|HuskY` ran a strong race at Westhill International rev last saturday night, where as others had their fair share of problems. Husky` lapped the complete field and shared the podium with two drivers scoring their best result in OWRL F1 so far: ScP|KiLl3r in second and 1stBFA haelje in third. For 1stBFA this was the first time in the points and just as everyone else, the team was very surprised to get a podium finish.
For the fourth round in OWRL F1 the teams went to one of the fastest tracks on the calendar: Westhill International. The track was driven using the reversed config. Qualifying was the closest of the season, with the top 9 within 3 tenths of each other.
The race did not end very close however. After a clean start, the fast track caught some drivers out under race conditions. One of them was Cyb|Miško who eventually finished 4 laps down. In front, both SK-team mates kept eachother company for a long time. Husky` and Vince swapped the lead several times, up until Vince had to make an extra pit stop for repairs. It dropped the SK-driver to sixth.
This played into the hands of ScP|KiLler, who took second with five laps to go and scored his second podium. It did look like pod driver Speedykev would also grab a podium position, but the team had a refueling problem at the second pitstop, meaning that the driver had to make a splash and dash right at the end to make it to the finish. This gave Haelje from 1stBFA the break he was hoping for: the first podium for his team.
Husky`s second win in a row meant he overtook Prophet from Cyber Racing in the championship standings. Prophet won the first two races, but then was not able to participate in the third and fourd round of the season. Miško remained third, just staing ahead of KiLl3r and Aldi#13. In the team championship, a non-score from both Cyber Racing drivers did not make them lose the lead, but SK Racing now closed in up to 6 points.
