Shanghai in Sun and Rain

With a starting field of 8 drivers representing 8 disparate teams, Shanghai promised to be an exciting race. Weather that started out volatile, moved into pouring rain a third of the way through the first lap, and stayed that way until the middle of the second lap, and then sunny weather came back to stay only contributed to add to the excitement!

The race saw the early elimination of the newly recovered Guadalupe MacDougal of Team Poderoso Sporin from collision damage, shortly to be followed by Victory Eelap of Tombstone Racing due to body damage. Racer X of Smitholine Motor Oil went out in the third lap due to a critcial braking failure coming out of the second last corner.

Of the remaining field, Alice Gibbons of Initorque Motor Works took the checkered flag, followed closely by Darth Moto of Team Sidious. Behind the Sith came Racer 3B from Dozois' Auto-Vitesse, Simon Garfunkel of Sixty-Nine Racing, and Luka Filipov of Serbian Speedworks.
