The final round of the FBM Trophy has not seen any big shake-ups in the championship standings, making Xcite | Fireball the winner of OWRL's first ever FBM-only championship. Fireball's win came as a surprise to many, as he did not had the outright pace of some of the other competitors. But consistent top 5 finishes and one win meant that he could held off charges by [SR] Howie and n1 J.Lehikoinen.

It was about the top four in the championship right from the start at the final round of South City Classic rev. In the sprint race, round 7 of the championship, Lehikoinen and Howie made there intentions clear by claiming the top two steps of the podium. It looked like it could be a very tense final round, as Fireball finish 6th and FireDragon only managed 8th, which in turn gave him pole for the main race. Firedragon hold on to the lead to win his first OWRL race in the final chance this season.

The battle for the championship would be between Fireball, Lehikoinen and Howie. Fireball leaped up to second at the start of the race and hold on to that position, knowing that he would be champion if he finished the race on the podium. Howie then had to aim at retaking second place from Lehikoinen, and he did his part finishing on the final podium position. Lehikoinen, feeling that any chance of the championship was slipping away, eventually got caught up in an unfortunate accident and would limp home in 11th.

Final standings:

1. Xcite | Fireball -339 pts
2. [SR] Howie - 309 pts
3. n1 J.Lehikoinen -293 pts
