Race start!
YouTubeAs a result of the Super Lap qualifying, the pole position went to EVANGELION e-RACING x WAYNE'S TOYOTA Kanagawa! The course used was "Spa-Francorchamps". 2 pit stops and driver changes were required out of the total of 15 laps.
Quiet start
Despite the battles that unfolded at various locations, there were no major changes in the standings. However, cloudy skies are spreading over the course, and the strategy is likely to change greatly depending on the weather conditions.
Sengoku Gaming will be required to play a defensive strategy, keeping SCARZ and KOSHIDO in mind when considering the overall standings.
Rain forces tire change
...but then the weather changed, which all the competitors and spectators were anxious to see! Rain began to fall, forcing all cars to pit in and change drivers.
Saiga NAKDriver changes are one of the best parts of offline competitions! The drivers pass the baton right in front of the spectators.
Sengoku Gaming is now ahead by a pit stop! The game enters the midway stage with heavy rain.
SCARZ aims for an upset with a stay-out!
ARTA is still in third place, and the situation is still not clear. SCARZ, watching Sengoku Gaming gradually pull away from the pack, opts to stay out (continue driving without pitting) on wet tires! As the rain cleared, the teams started to take off their wet tires, but was this a good or a bad strategy?
The last half of the race is a tight race!
With 3 laps to go, SCARZ opted for soft tires! SCARZ is now chasing down the escaping Sengoku Gaming.
ARTA was in a good position, but perhaps caught in the rain, loses balance and spins! ARTA drops to 6th place.
SCARZ was hoping to take first place with a bold tire choice, but it was not enough as Sengoku Gaming's steady and solid driving was too much for SCARZ to overcome! Sengoku Gaming takes the checkered flag in 1st place!

This is really great! There was a lot of pressure, but I think this is the result of everyone giving it their all in tough conditions. Thank you very much for all your support and encouragement!

There was still a way to become the upset champion, so I never gave up and kept aiming until the end. Next year, I will do my best to finish first! Thank you everyone for your support!
I was not satisfied with the result in the last round, but I am happy that I was able to accumulate points in Round 1 and Round 2 and was able to catch up in this position. I would like to thank all the people who supported me. Thank you very much.
