Early in the 3rd season RandomCar finally visited one of the Westhill's standard configurations after 2 races run in custom ones. The National reversed configuration with it's 2 long straights firstly looked like a playground for high power cars,however the middle section with it's turns and twists benefited light well handling cars - that kinda balanced things out and front row featured one of the heaviest cars and one from lower weight class. 27 drivers gathered up for this round,which is just a bigger half from 49 entries getting drawn a car for this round - 26 of them are scored as finished,despite 2 of them never crossing finish line after chequered flag was displayed.

For this round XRT was a clear randomizer's favourite - a total of 7 cars were drawn,4 of them arrived and all of them were within top11 in both sessions,one of them,driven by Unite,was the fastest in qualifying,scoring the 2nd pole position for the car this year,3rd in total. However polesitter's lead was very short as he was jumped by AWD car in start - Adam led first 2 laps before allowing the race winner to pass him. The RandomCar debutant Trespasser snatched race lead on lap 3 and run away from competition with his lightweight MZ-S Roadster,scoring the 1st win for the car that was added before start of this season via voting. After running the XF Coupe for 300 kilometers on sunday,Twincam received it also for RandomCar race 2 days later - even if the common racing surface between Westhill tracks used in the 2 races is measurable with few hundred meters where smaller half was driven in same direction,the feeling for the car surely helped the irishman to bring it from 5th position on grid to 2nd position in finish. After some ups and downs,polesitter Unite eventually managed to rescue at least a 3rd place finish in this race.


R.Kardol got Dorito for this race and finished it 4th to scored healty set of points which were more than enough to pass the not attending standings leader,who slipped down to 3rd position - Dodislaw is now 18 points behind,just ahead of him is Thehemuli with 14 points deficite to table lead. With only 8 best scores from 10 rounds missing a round still means nothing is really lost in race for championship.

Teams standings leaders Team S1dus drivers finished 3rd and 4th,scoring the highest points count between all teams this round and increasing their lead to 15 points over defending champions B2R. 2023 champions RGA keeps 3rd position and trails already by 32 points. Finland is now on run - 2nd round in row with highest points score,3rd with 30+ points results in 45 points lead over single driver nation Netherlands (led by drivers standings leader),early standings leaders are now 3rd,one point behind 2nd position. Another solid result for XRT means their lead is extended to 18 points XF Coupe,XM-5 is still 3rd with 20 points gap.


31 different cars were drawn for the 49 entries,as mentioned the XRT got the biggest chunk with 7 draws,both XF Coupe and Acosta receiving 4 draws. Talot remains the all time most drawn car getting one for this round,however Acosta has just 1 less now,closelly followed by XF Coupe.
Only 2 cars got new best results - the obvious one is Trespasser's 3rd position in qualifying and race win,beating Rony's previously set best results (accoringly 9th and 10th positions). The other one is R.Kardol's 4th position in qualifying with Dorito FD7 SR,which is 2 positions better than previous best shared by Dodislaw and Mouseman,however his 4th position in race is just a repeat of best result.


Round 5 of 2025 coincidentally will be a repead of round 5 of 2023 - the Aston North has been selected as next track,the 5.2km circuit will be run for 14 laps in the race. Last time both win and pole position was taken by 2 different drivers running XF Turbo 5 with both drivers with the car finishing 1st and 2nd - good sign for those who might get the car drawn.
