== Race == | |||
The race was held at 20:00 GMT on Sunday 20th September 2026. The race ran over the course of 31 laps with 3 mandatory pit stops. | |||
Due to issues setting up the circuit for racing, the race was delayed by approximately 20 minutes. The race was officiated by AnchoredToLife, Fedrer and PieTheHead. The event was streamed on Discord although not recorded. This was commentated by AnchoredToLife and F1rret. | |||
Heavy lag issues on EarthMC saw Ticks Per Second as low as 1tps so the race was copied and moved to and run on the Boat Race World Championship (BRWC) server, using the built-in timing system instead of the regular SWRC equipment. The race start also used standard BRWC features instead of the conventional EMC grid. | |||

=== Race Report === | |||
==== Pre-Race ==== | |||
Despite not qualifying, both 56Faxeo and Semicolon started the race from the back. Vellange also failed to attend despite not qualifying and Fauxbethvv's absence meant that the Scuderia Sicilia team failed to submit an entry to the Zurich Grand Prix. | |||
==== Main Race ==== | |||
32Jeelow maintained his race lead from the start of the race with the top five positions not changing. Hill24671 had a bad start dropping him to last on the grid by turn 2. Gbaguette and Tendonkeys both had a great start, jumping to eighth and tenth respectively. Both Hill and Faxeo pitted at the end of the first lap. Mkmango pitted from sixth at the end of lap 2, followed by Hockeyman_31 and 10Piksel. | |||
By lap 3, Jeelow had been extending his lead by around a second a lap. Talvi pitted at the end of lap 3 after being passed by Scottish driver ameberyl, exiting the pit in ninth. Seggy and Aksel committed to their first stop on lap 4, exiting the pit in eighth and twelth. Notably, Aksel was passed on pit exit by Faxeo indicating a provisional sixth for the British driver despite starting last. These stops promoted StanTheManGaming to fourth position on his debut grand prix. | |||
Talvi committed to an early second stop on lap 6, exiting the pit behind her teammate, gbaguette, who was a pit down on her. Also to pit was Faxeo who went for his second of three mandatory pit stops as well as 10Piksel and FatihAr who double-stacked their stop in the Ferrari pit box and gbaguette who allowed Talvi past him. | |||
Ameberyl went for her first pit stop at the start of lap 7 from second on track. Pwnings went for an overcut strategy, pitting the next lap and passing Ameberyl to take third place ahead of the Scot. Also to pit on lap 8 was Kyle123456788 for his first stop as well as Mkmango on his second stop, exiting the pit four seconds behind Talvi. Sepl pitted on lap 9 from fifth, exiting between Mkmango and Kyle. | |||
On lap 10, ameberyl pitted from fourth, followed by Mkmango who committed to his final pit stop. StanTheMan, Pwnings and s3ggy all pitted on lap 11 from second, third and fourth with only Stan maintaining position. S3ggy exited into traffic prompting a back-to-back stop alongside AkselV. | |||
Interteam battling between Faxeo and Sepl who was a pit down allowed 32Jeelow to lap Faxeo, lapping the grid up to eighth without pitting. A mistake from the Dane behind traffic allowed Faxeo to unlap himself. | |||
Ameberyl's final pit stop on lap 15 saw her drop behind Mkmango in the lead of the drivers who had already pitted three times. Pwnings' final pit put her around 3 seconds behind the trio. Lap 17 saw Talvi pit from third for her final stop. This dropped her into fourth, roughly nine seconds ahead of the other three-stop drivers. | |||
On lap 20, Jeelow went for his first pit stop, maintaining his lead over StanTheMan by 30 seconds. Faxeo also pitted after being stuck behind Tendonkeys and exiting the pit ahead of Pwnings who had been jumped by her teammate for eighth on track. | |||
Both Stan and Sepl pitted for the second time on lap 22 with Stan dropped from second to fourth and Sepl sixth to tenth. HockeyMan_31 also did his second pit. On lap 24 both Stan and Jeelow pitted. Stan dropped to ninth with Jeelow still maintaining his lead. Lap 24 also saw ameberyl pass Mkmango at turn 2 to take fourth position on track. This action was repeated behind with Faxeo overtaking AkselV for sixth in the final sector of lap 25, followed by pwnings who overtook her Danish teammate for seventh. | |||
A final pit for Hill24671 on the penultimate lap dropped him behind Faxeo and into sixth position. Jeelow also pitted for his final stop, maintaining his lead with a five second gap behind. | |||
The final lap saw the fight for third contested between ameberyl, Mkmango and Faxeo separated by just a second and a half and behind the backmarker of Semicolon who had just completed his final pit stop after going back-to-back-to-back. A double bump for Mango and Faxeo in sector 3 allowed Faxeo to pass the Floridian driver to take fourth and challenge for third. | |||
Jeelow finished the race in first, 8 seconds ahead of former teammate Talvi who took her second podium in a row following a first victory in the '25-26 Patagonian Grand Prix with Acceleron. Ameberyl brought home a first podium for the newly rebranded Vertza Racing Team, just over half a second ahead of 56Faxeo who started the race at the back of the grid. Mango came home to score 10 points for the Dinoco Oil team after finishing fifth. Behind, Murweh teammates pwnings and AkselV took double points in sixth and seventh with Hill24671 finishing the race eighth despite being in last position after turn 1. StanTheManGaming gave ETH Al-Quack their first points with a ninth followed by S3ggy who brought an extra point to the Dinoco Oil team. | |||
