Round 1 began with huge promise from the newly-invigorated team Unity and their two sub factions - Elite Racing and Elite Raceway. Unity had shown good promise in the 2015 SMS-R Driver Network Championship that they'd used as a testing year and stormed into the season opener with 6 top times compared to 3 and 5 from Team Shark and SDL Motorsport.
With PSF Racing also joining the fray, the battle was on for Rounds 2 and 3, putting Unity firmly on the podium as the Summer Split approached. However, the big dogs couldn't let them run away with it and SDL surged back in Round 4 to dominate the Top 5, followed by Team Shark doing the same in Round 5. Ultimately, Team Shark took the Summer Split title due to the consistency of lead driver Atho. |
Round 1 began strong with 8 SDL team members finishing in the Top 14. Only Virtual Drivers by TX3 offered any kind of opposition with a charge led by Clayton SSV - a driver who would see regular high positions over in the NCS also.
Round 3 saw a return to form for everyone after a disastrous round at Imola that saw most drivers disqualified for excessive track cutting. With a re-affirmation of the need to adhere to track limits, SDL once again scooped up significant points from three drivers that were highlighting themselves as ones to watch - Masa, Mangator, and Yoohan - whilst free agent FinPro continued to put in a strong performance with a third podium in a row. Round 4 saw teammate Masa topple Mangator from earning a fourth consecutive win in a row and we started to see a few regular faces consistently turning up in the points. Rytal from NRT, TomiKillos from Project CARS Polska, Luis Moreno from ANBU, and Magictap from CQR. With the Summer Split fast approaching, it was starting to become clear that SDL had absolute dominance of this series so far. It was no surprise therefore that Round 5 at Spa piled the pressure on as all drivers pushed to get as many points as possible. As a result, SDL only managed 4 finishes in the Top 20 as the fan favourite track proved to be one of the most intense rounds yet allowing many independent drivers like BeetesJuice and FalkeGT their time to shine. |
