Round 5 marked the end of 1st half of the 2025 season and just like 2 years ago it was held in Aston's North configuration. Back then the midengined version of XF was the car to beat as 2 drivers took best 2 positions in both sessions with that car,however no driver received that car this time,so a different midengined car took over the glory. A total of 48 drivers were in the draw list,however just 21 actually attended,marking the lowest attendance of the season. One driver left before the race start,leaving 20 cars on grid - despite 2 retirements,all 20 were classified as finished as all completed half of the race.

A driver with 1 win received a car with 2 wins - that combination led as expected to a common win. The brazilian driver TJ was pretty much unchallenged this tuesday with his Fraud Wheeler - he was more than a second per lap quicker in both sessions,just the first lap of the race was not led by him - he finished the race with 13 seconds gap over competition. Also standings leader received a winning car - he won opening round of this season with the Nortz,but in this round wasn't on the level to challenge for a race win,however still was able to progress from 5th position on grid to 2nd place finish. Also 3rd place finisher made lots of positions during the race - Madjester qualified just 10th and raced his Piran Firefly up to 3rd place in the finish results.


Standings leader finished 2nd and with it increased his lead in championship,however his main rival finished just 2 positions lower,so the gain of 2 points is currently not very decisive - R.Kardol has now 16 points advantage over Thehemuli,the new 3rd place holder is Unite who is 27 points away from top of the table.

Standings leaders S1dus increasing lead is the only change at the top of teams championship table - table positions from 2nd to 4th all scored 24 points in this round,keeping status quo between themselves. Defending champions B2R in 2nd position is now 26 points behind leaders,followed by RGA in 3rd another 17 points apart. Also in nations standings the leaders scored most points - the defending 2-time champions Finland increased their advantage over competition to 57 points,the new 2nd position in table is Lithuania,which pushed previous 2nd position Netherlands to 3rd. XRT keeps the lead in table and also have now 4 scores - increase of the total score is now possible by improving the currently lowest points score (4 best scores count towards season total),Fraud Wheeler jumped to 2nd position thanks to the race win and is now 15 points behind leading car,Nortz is the new 3rd position with 23 points deficite to leader despite having just 3 scores.


The draw results were rather spread out this time - a total of 33 cars were drawn for this round with only 2 cars receiving more than 2 draws (Firefly - 4 draws,XF Garis - 3),however with the low activity,only 18 different cars were used in the round with 14 different cars finishing in top15.
4 cars had their best results improved in this round. Unite draw a rather rarely used car - Fraud 040's previous best results have been set by 2 different drivers (J.A.Katila qualified 13th and Madjester finished 10th),now these have been united under 1 name as the finn qualified 4th and finished 5th. Similar situation was with Dorito FD - Arska's 10th in qualifying and Lorenzo's 12th in race are now beaten by Loco,who qualified 2nd and finished 7th. Lorenzo loses another top entry - his VSI-V2000 results (qualifying 16th and race 12th) were beaten by Hachiroku who was 9th in both sessions in this round. Trespasser in 3rd position was able to improve XF Garis' best qualifying result by a position,beating his countryman M,adding also 1st ever race lead lap with the car.


The 2nd half of the season will start in Brazil - sort of,the winner of the latest race selected a track which is recreation of his home country's well known racetrack Interlagos,set up in LFS's flat layout square. The track is yet to be tested for laptime and distance,so race distance is yet to be decided,but it will surely be brand new challenge for the PL200 class cars.
