Stage 2 of the 2019 Manufacturer Series got underway on August 3rd. Lexus (Turismo-Deafsun) went into the stage with a commanding lead of 483 points over Ford (TRC_Stagger) in second place.
Ford (TRC_Stagger) did not perform as they'd have liked in the early rounds, and struggled to pick up points. This caused them to drop down the series rankings.
In their place, a surprise underdog announced themselves with style. FT_Ant, who had been driving for Chevrolet until last season and was now driving for Mercedes-Benz, racked up a hugely impressive 2,770 points in Round 11, putting pressure on Lexus (Turismo-Deafsun) at the top of the pile.
The second stage's final "Superstars" race took place on Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, and was contested between the top 16 drivers in Gr. 3 cars. Lexus (Turismo-Deafsun) took pole position, while Mercedes-Benz (FT_Ant) would be gunning for victory from third place on the grid. Lexus (Turismo-Deafsun) immediately turned on the speed, and quickly built up a significant lead over the car in second place.
Mercedes-Benz (FT_Ant) were able to move up from third to second on the second lap, but weren't able to push for first place. In the end, Lexus (Turismo-Deafsun) recorded a stunning pole-to-win victory, a crowning glory following an utterly dominant series.
Lexus (Turismo-Deafsun) consistently racked up points throughout the season, and in the end no one could come close to catching them. They were truly worthy winners of the 2019 Manufacturer Series.
