Race ReviewGroup 1This group consists of mie2, edwin, edison, kenny and specter. Mie2 spun at the first corner and surprisingly there werent any accident at the first corner. At the last corner of first lap, edwin ran wide and edison was able to overtake edwin at the start/finish line. Edwin then try to take back P3 from edison but edison was able to hold off the pressure and maintain that position until he pitted. Edison was the first person to pit. Bad news for newcomer mie2 as he retired during the first lap due to some technical problems. After that, kenny, edwin and specter pit at the same lap. While 3 of them are having their stop, edison was able to leapfrog from p4 to p2 which is unlucky for those mclarens. Edison then pitted from P2 and joined back behind edwin in P4. Specter then followed into the pit from P2 and unlucky to come out at P4. Edison rac wide at 1st corner and specter took advantage of that and moved into P2. Then edison made his 3rd pitstop and came out in p4 as edwin took p3. Edison ran wide several times as he pushed very hard to get p3 but unfortunate, great driving from edwin as he holds his nerve and take the last step of the podium in group 1. As previous, nothing much happened to kenny as he led from the start til the finish line.
Group 2We have jacky, staggy, lok, adrian and ryugan here in this group. Unlike group 1, this race has quite some incident happened to few racers. All started from the grid. Staggy stalled his car on the grid and then able to continue at last place. Then accident happened at the first corner where Lok was having a slight advantage over adrian but adrian was having the inside line. Unlucky for Lok as adrian clipped him and both ran off the road. Adrian was good enough to resume at P1 as for Lok, he came back to the race track and clipped the incoming gkl and jacky took advantage of this situation and moved into P2, great drive there by jacky. At the last corner of the 1st lap, as adrian was leading, he lost control of his car and hit the wall hard and retired. He was entering the corner too fast and locked his brakes. All drivers were able to avoid his car but unfortunate for staggy as he hits the turned turtle ferrari. Lok was unlucky once again as he retired due to some technical problems. After that, Jacky was leading the race until he pitted and Ryugan took the lead. Since then, it has been a chasing game as jacky and ryugan exchange the lead as they pitted. Then mistake by ryugan at the first corner allowed gkl to take p2. Then ryugan lost control again and hit the barrier and lost his rear wing and retired from there. Great drive from the newcomer and won the race.
