Tsukuba

Tsukuba was a surprisingly uneventful race with only one caution considering the size of the track, well any race that Ford participates in and there is only one caution would be surprising. At the beginning of the race, two distinct pack formed with Viking, Top, and DJ in the lead group with everyone else in another group a little further back. During the first half of the race, most people got their pit stops outta the way except DJ and Viking which proved to be a costly decision for both of them. A caution came out about half way through when Super's batteries died forcing DJ and Viking to pit and be in the back of the pack. DJ was caught up in an accident that damaged his car enough to remove any chance he had of winning. Viking was able to get up front and race with both Proof and Top for a awhile swapping the lead between each other until having a run in going into turn 1 and dropping to 5th. Considering the style of racing Viking pitted for fresh tires and dropped to 6th hoping for a caution and a gigantic advantage off the restart. That caution never came though and Top was able to hold on for his 4th win of the season closely followed by Proof. DJ in his damaged car was eventually able to get around Mini for 3rd and 4th respectively. Ford took 5th followed by Viking and Super.

Finish results
1st - Top* - 10
2nd - Proof* - 8
3rd - DJ* - 7
4th - Mini - 5
5th - Ford - 4
6th - Viking* - 4
7th - Super - 2
