8 Members where there on the starting grid. In starting grid formation.
Evostar, Rock7up, Overhit, G!NhO, Lord, Camaro, Sm1ley and Niuch44.

Evostar didn’t had a good start, Rocky7up blasted away and Lord also had a great start. Overhit immediately got into the slip stream of Rocky7up and Lord already was aside with G!NhO. Then Evostar lost control and luckily didn’t hit anyone while driving his car towards the wall on the grass.
The first corner Overhit took the inside by Rocky7up and Lord the inside by G!NhO.
Camaro decided to take a really wide line and gets into a slip forcing him to get back on track in 7th position.
Overhit is first out of the chicane Rocky7up second, third G!NhO behind him Lord, Sm1ley 5th, Niuch44 6th, Camaro 7th and Evostar 8th.

Rocky7up takes the inside of the next corner and passes Overhit who slides towards the outside of the corner with a lack of grip G!NhO also makes the move beside Overhit, getting second while Lord takes it save while running aside Overhit heading towards the next corner she decided to stay behind and not take any risks.
Niuch makes a mistake and and slips away in the corner after the long straight. He managed to get back on track without any damage and kept his position.

Camaro is getting close to Sm1ley and in the front of the race, Rocky7up, G!NhO, Overhit and Lord are fighting for positions.
On the start/finish line of the first lap Lord managed to take over Overhit and she had real good pace coming out of the chicane and closed the gap towards Rocky7up and G!NhO. Then 3 wide on the long straight heading for the corner. It was Lord who took the outside G!NhO the middle and Rocky7up the inside. Lord could drive the racing line in the corner and had so much more speed that she took first getting out of the corner. Rocky7up was braking really late to get by G!NhO. It was a bit tricky he slided a bit and G!NhO had to watch out. Rocky7up stayed ahead of him though.

 

Overhit was from this moment seen. He hadn’t the pace to keep up.
Camaro and Sm1ley where also in a close battle, both having it a bit difficult getting the car under control.

 

Then Rocky7up battled hard with G!NhO.  G!NhO was trying everything to get by Rocky7up fast!
On the 4th lap G!NhO passed Rocky7up when crossing the start finish line. But Rocky7up didn’t gave up and passed him again in the chicane. But when Rocky7up got out the chicane he lost control of his car. G!NhO had to brake hard not to hit him hard and damage his own car. G!NhO could continue but then Overhit came along with G!NhO. This lasted for 2 corners then finally G!NhO could clear the road and start to make up time towards Lord. Then she already build up a gap of 5 seconds.

Camaro lost a lot of time when he hit the wall and Niuch44 got close to him. And then we suddenly see Sm1ley standing still in the chicane. And both Camaro and Niuch44 passed him.
Not much later Niuch44 spins and Sm1ley is closing in on him again. In the chicane after the start finish line they both make mistakes. Niuch44 gets better out of it while Sm1ley turns his car around. He can continue his race but not much later he parks his car on the grass on the long straight. Leaving it there for the rest of the race.

And this was already when less then 7 minutes where passed.
Overhit spins in his 6th lap and the Rocky7up passed him on the start finish line. Then an akward moment occurs. Rocky7up slows down. In the intension to let Ovehit pass him again because he was sure he had passed under yellow. Overhit then passed him again and braked early causing Rocky7up to hit the back of Overhits car. Overhit then loses control over his car and drove it into the tire barriers. Leaving Rocky7up taking third and himself with a damaged car. He managed to drive his car back to the pits and makes a pitstop to repair the damage. Dropping from 4th to 6th.

Lord is then 1st, G!NhO  2nd, Rocky7up 3th, Niuch44 4th, Camaro 5th , Overhit 6th and Evostar 7th

Niuch then spins not much later after taking over Camaro. Wich takes Camaro to 4th again.

Before this article getting to long. It was a difficult race for most drivers. The beginning stage of the race a lot happened. The fight between Rocky7up and G!NhO was great to watch.
The big fight between Lord and G!NhO on the other hand stayed out.
G!NhO made a mistake when 40 minutes had passed while he had closed the gap to arround 3 seconds to Lord. He spun in the chicane making the gap 10 seconds. Then Lord could drive it home.

And I want to give a big compliment to Evostar! He has learned a lot today and has really improved. He did great when faster drivers where approaching this was really a lot better than the last race!

Only 5 finishers where accounted for.
Lord, G!NhO, Rocky7up, Camaro, Evostar. We have to check the replays for Niuch44. He was not in the standing in LFS results. Overhit has spectated during the race and Sm1ley is unheard off.
