GP4CC Season 1 ReviewPre-season testing for the first GP4 Central Championship revealed two things -
Jcaranti's Ferrari was the car to beat, and
no-one liked the idea of a race event! Hotlaps for the rest of the seaosn then...
Just like the original F1 Championship, the GP4 racers headed to Silverstone for the opening round of the season. As expected, Jorge dominated the event to take an early lead in the points but behind him a large field provided some interest, with the strength of the keyboard runners being particularly notable.
Monaco's short lap produced the closest finish of the season.
Three different driver's held the lead at the three sector marks, but the only one that matters was headed by Jorge, snatching victory from TomMK by just a tenth of a second. After missing out at the previous round, Eric scored his first points by bringing home the Lotus in 7th.
Supermonty finally broke the deadlock when a smaller field of only 6 drivers arrived at Boromo.
A mighty final sector secured a deserved maiden victory around Brazil's fastest fictional track.
The drivers contested the German round at the Kleine Nordschleife, where normal service was resumed at the top of the timesheets. Mario Jr completed a hat-trick of 4ths, and AUS_Doug recovered from an early season injury to make his debut, finishing a strong 5th.
Montreal was a late addition to the calendar after Monza was dropped in preference for a Season 2 slot, but the venue proved popular. Two more drivers made their debuts and marco ferrari returned from a mid-season break. Jorge moved to within touching distance of the Season 1 trophy with a fine lap, and the
podium was completed by debutant Javi Simracer.
The championship victory seemed a mere formality at the final event, and so it proved. Jorge finished a brilliant campaign with another victory to win the championship by 6 points from Supermonty, and Mario Jr also finished strongly, taking his 2nd podium of the season.
There are many changes in store for next season so it promises to be even better than the first. The pre-season testing schedule for season 2 is
announced today!
