Kudos to Kai (TT), a meritorious round winner! Mentions to N.A-D.R (TT) and Bleu (TT), who notched Valsecchi as R2 winner. Alas, congratulations to all 27 concursants for the interest they showed in this new season!
For this season, the net score for Forums Championship has tightened to only best four forumers scorers counting for forum points in a round, but still Ten-Tenths is at the top of the forum ranks. ClubF1, surprisingly, is at the 2nd place.

Whoops, silly me - guess it is too late to add 7 and 8 to my team standings prediction?? If so I'd put Arden 7th and Trident 8th. No matter if not though...
