In this race, the top group from the previous season was joined in by new contenders from Dodge (Kawanaka22), Toyota(Akagi_1942mi), and Subaru (HIDEbyDCRTDR), scoring high in the race.

From Round 2, top rankers such as samurai_405 of Subaru and Nik_Makozi of Mercedes dominated. The only new comer who was able to keep momentum from the first race was Akagi_1942mi of Toyota. Akagi_1942mi skipped the 3rd race however, so the effective points standing after round 3 was McLaren (JUN-_-JEEEEN 3746 pts) in the lead,Mercedes-Benz in 2nd (Nik_Makozi / 3605 pts) and Ferrari (yukiku /3510 pts) in third.

Round 4 was a Gr. 3 race on the Suzuka Circuit. Here the Ferrari driven by yukiku kept ahead of McLaren driven by JUN-_-JEEEEN throughout the race and won. Gaining 1516 points, Ferrari turned the tables on McLaren. Ferrari (yukiku) continues to maintain its superiority in Round 5,Inter lagos. Here Subaru (with samurai_405) and Lamborghini (yamado_racing38)shows great performance, both rising to 2nd and 3rd in point rankings respectively. McLaren (JUN-_-JEEEEN) was now in 4th place.

The final round was a 10 lap race on the Nürburgring GP track, with Group 3 cars.
