Round 4: Road Atlanta

The fourth race of the season took place at Road Atlanta. Pole position was claimed by Dickname, with a 1:15.207. Turn 1 consisted of some controlled chaos, with four drivers diving into the grass on their own. The racing continued cleanly until shortly after the halfway point, when Nickalator and Fuzzytacos came together. As a result of this Nickalator slid back onto the racing surface in turn 11 and caused Lamp and Guantanamo Bae to meet their makers. The sprint race was won by Sean Dickinson on the final lap. Erco finished closely behind in second, with SimplySteve rounding out the podium.

Unfortunately, the feature race started off with a handful of retirements due to a colossal wreck at turn 10 on the first lap. The race continued into a race of attrition, with car after car spinning or diving off track. SimplySteve was able to claim victory in the feature race, with Erco once again claiming the second spot on the podium. Joshua Spears took the final spot on the podium with a solid 3rd place finish. The fastest lap of the day was claimed by Dickname, with a blistering 1:13.996.

Round 3: Interlagos

Round 2: Circuit of the Americas

Race two took us to the Circuit of the Americas! Pole position for the sprint race was claimed by Dickname with a 1:57.980. For the second time in a row, trouble started on the first turn of the sprint race, with a collision occurring between Erco and Bikerpilot. Throughout the race there were a handful of incidents as drivers found themselves struggling to adapt to the track. At the end of the heat race, Dickname claimed victory after leading every lap of the race. Second place was claimed by Orbits Jupiter, with SimplySteve in third 0.5s behind.

The feature race certainly had it's fair share of incidents, just like the heat race before it. However, Dickname was able to avoid any trouble, and came away with yet another win for the feature. CaptainCK managed to place himself on the second step of the podium, with Simply Steve yet again claiming the final step. At the end of the night, Dickname was able to claim victory in both the sprint and feature races. On top of his victories, he also obtained the fastest race lap of the night with a 1:57.934, allowing him to finish the night with the maximum points haul possible in a J2iCS sprint race event.

Round 1: Zolder

The first race of the new F3 Sprint Series season took place at Zolder. Squilliam claimed pole, clocking in with a 1:12.253. The first F3 incident of the season didn't take long, with AJ losing grip into T1 and taking Nickname and DC5R along for the ride. Aside from the occasional incident, the heat race consisted of close battles and hard racing. Sean Dickinson came away with the win in race 1, 3.975 seconds clear of CaptainCK in 2nd. SimplySteve claimed the final spot on the podium, finishing 3rd.

With the top eight of the heat race inverted, Erco started on pole for the feature race. Unfortunately just like the heat race, incidents began in the first corner when Nickalator quickly ran out of talent and replicated AJ's incident from the first race, collecting a handful of cars along with him. After the initial few incidents, the grid sorted itself out and began to get into the groove of what Zolder has to offer. Unfortunately after leading for 11 laps, Squilliam had an incident and was forced to retire from the race. After 29 laps, Sean Dickinson was able to once again claim victory, a whopping 17.266 seconds clear of Erco who finished in second. Fuzzytacos managed to finish ahead of Blackbob19, giving Fuzzytacos 3rd.
