JEGT2025 Rd. FINAL" was a two stint race, requiring one pit stop and driver change during the race.
Saiga NAKThe race was a fierce battle with the positions changing from the opening lap. The top teams started the race on soft tires.
Another attraction of the offline competition is the chance to see the drivers in action. With the expectations of the team officials and fans at their backs, each driver shows his/her best effort.

Saiga NAKWEINS CLUB TEAM TaG, trying to catch up with the leaders on soft tires in the latter half of the race, did exactly what they had planned and caught the first-placed MIE TOYOPET CLUB TEAM BTF SPIRIT and succeeded in turning the tables around.
