- MANUFACTURER SERIES
- Jaguar (AE_Kenomos) Storm Mercedes's Citadel to Take the First Stage!
- 2019 Manufacturer Series - Stage 1 (Oceania)
- 29/07/2019
The first stage of the Manufacturer Series got underway on June 9th.
Two drivers took part in every single race: Mercedes-Benz's Nik_Makozi and Jaguar's AE_Kenomos. Neither driver had given an inch going into the stage's final race, both posting very competitive points totals.
The first stage's final race was a showdown between Gr. 4 cars on Sardegna Road Track B, and to say it was eventful would be an understatement.
Mercedes-Benz's Nik_Makozi had been in the lead when he suffered network trouble, and had to leave the race. It was a tragic moment for him, as he had previously been dominant in the Oceania region, but now had to relinquish his crown. As a result, Jaguar were able to end the first stage at the top of the pile.
It may have been misfortune that led to Nik_Makozi losing out, but it would be incorrect to say that AE_Kenomos was lucky to win the first stage. He has displayed great skill in both the Manufacturer Series and the Nations Cup, proving to be a constant thorn in the side of Nik_Makozi, the undisputed king of the region.
After such a dramatic denouement to stage one, the next stage promises to be absolutely fascinating. Will there be a dramatic turnaround? Will the king be able to mount a comeback? We will have to wait and see...
