Last Week in SRF

The undulating hills of Sonoma Raceway played host to the SRF Series in Week 3 of 2015 Season 4. Despite the challenge of the terrain, the sim racing was clean and exciting as always.

Stian Svendsen ruled the road with five victories, and Daniil Manaenkov nabbed top points honors with 182.

Week 3 saw several lead changes in the division standings: Mike Galloway (Div1), Richard Yalland (Div2), Jason S Stewart (Div5), Garth Gastmeier (Div6), and Ian Haycox (Div8). Others fought their way up the standings: Rob Adams (Div2) moved up 19 spots to P11; Nichad Gluscic, Adrian Gorton, and Ray Ehlers of Div 4 jumped into the top 10; Peter Yerxa (Div6) climbed 15 spots to P4; Philip De Nardo (Div6) moved 12 spots to P9; and Wesley Winterink (Div7) cracked the top 10, moving up nine spots to P5.

Next up is Okayama International Circuit.
