Like racing in the streets of South City isn't hard enough under normal circumstances, the 6th round of the OWRL F1 season only gave the teams 1 week of preparation time and a new patch to contest with. With two new teams and walls close all around the track, the race promised to be exciting and exciting it was. Chris almost won the race from pole, but a misunderstanding with a backmarker and speeding in pit lane made him hand over the race lead and win to HusKy. New team R4R went to podium with Storm finishing third.



With patch X coming out just one day before the race, three new teams were invited to the OWRL F1 Series. EXcite-racing joined with their drivers Michael L. and Nick H. (even though technical problems forced him to pull back his entry during qualifying). The next new team, R4R, had two drivers with experience in OWRL F1, namely Fl!p and Storm. The third team to join, GFC, needed more preparation time and will start competing in two weeks on Aston National rev.

The starting order for the race was vs.Chris in front of SK|HuskY. Those two remained in those positions at the start, but behind them incidents were happening on the tight streets. This lead to some drivers having to visit their pit box for an unplanned pit stop in the first few laps.

In lap 6, a misunderstanding between Chris and JET caused the race leader to spin. As a result, he fell back to 8th position. HuskY lead the race then, but had to pit on lap 15 of 75, giving Miško the lead. Chris was able to drive through the field and when Miško pitted, he regained the lead on lap 23.

After that it seemed pretty much settled with lead changes only happening during pit stops. Husky and Chris were substituting the lead, but the latter driver seemed to have the upper hand. That was until his final pit stop in lap 58. Speeding whilst entering pit lane gave him the drive through penalty that would ultimately cost him the victory. Chris closed in on Husky during the final laps, but not enough to have any chance of taking the win away from the SK-driver. Storm finished third, marking a great achievement from the new team.
