GenR Feuerdrache has marked himself as the clear favorite to win the S2 Season 21 title after the series reached the halfway point at Westhill International rev. Feuerdrache has won four out of six races so far. He did so by dominating two events and taking the maximum points so far, but was beaten in the second round at Fern Bay Gold where v\Maddee and rgs077 both took a victory. Feuerdrache is clearly ahead in the championship but as the OWRL drops the points of the worst event result, other drivers may still catch up in the standing in the second half of the season.
Round 1
The openings two races were contested with the Formula BMW. Feuerdrache was strong right from the start at Aston Classic. Then GenR driver qualified on pole by being the only driver beating the 1:33 mark and followed up on that by leading the sprint race from start to finish. In the main race, the German driver had to tackle the top 8 reversed grid. Quickly, Feuerdrache moved through the field and then drove away to stamp his mark on the first event of the new season. In both races he was accompanied by TEM/Y.Laprevotte on the podium, who took second in both races. 1stBFA Wings drove an amazing race in the sprint race to finish on the final spot of the podium from his 10th qualifying spot. In the main race, Steelbeen and SRT Tobi swapped third position on multiple occasions, with the SRT-driver finally taking the spot.
Round 2
Moving on to the second round, FE Gold hosted the final Formula BMW race before the season moves on to other cars. In qualifying, v\J.Peace positioned himself as favorite for the event by taking pole position. J.Peace would wind up on the podium with two second places, but that he did not win had all to do with two significant events in the sprint race. The first one was the start. Whilst J.Peace defended the inside line, his teammate v\Maddee could take more speed on the outside line in turn 1 helping Maddee to get the lead by the time they reached the chicane. The top 3, with GenR Feuerdrache in third, never changed order despite finishing within a half second after 11 laps. The second significant event happened on lap 2 and eventually decided the main race. rgs077 spun after slight contact with Y.Laprevotte, also involving the unlucky Steelbeen. rgs077 dropped to the back of the field. He was out of contention for a podium in the sprint race, but he fought back and got up to eight place by overtaking Blacky on the final lap. This meant pole for the main race. Without conceding the lead at any moment, the Russian drove to victory in the main race. The same drivers filled the spots for second and third as in the sprint race, with J.Peace getting a double second place and Feuerdrache, who retains the championship lead, leaving Fern Bay with another third place trophy.
Round 3
Round three and the first race of the season with the Formula XR. Feuerdrache only encountered resistance in the main after getting pole and winning the sprint race. Durin that race, the main battles happened to be around [SR] bLb. After qualifying in second, bLb kept his position but loss of momentum halfway through the lap eventually allowed both M™ Steelbeen and 1stBFA Jati to pass him. After that, the Sonicrealms driver found himself in a long battle with OWRL F1 champion rgs077, eventually getting ahead after a small mistake by rgs077. No chance to get back on the podium though, as this was filled by Feuerdrache, Steelbeen and Jati.
Finishing off the podium, rgs077 and [SR] bLb took advantage of the top 8 reversed grid start to quickly get to the front in the 28 lap main race. Their battle from the sprint race then continued. GenR Feuerdrache was helped by this after he needed a couple more laps to get through the field, doing so in great racing. Feuerdrache may have need some time to get to the leaders, once he was there on lap 8, he disposed of both drivers in two laps time and never looked back to take another perfect score. Close racing continued for the other podium positions in the final 5 laps of the race. Steelbeen and Jati both were able to slipstream past bLb giving us the same podium in the sprint and main race.
