Divison 1 Finals
Divison 2 Finals
Blindman dominated the online season for Division 2, winning all but one race. Pukeko, who was possibly the only competitor to compete using VR for the entire season, had some excellent results to finish second, ahead of ClanFever who ran solid races all season, as well as hosting the Div2 lobbies
Divison 3 Finals
This division was a nailbiter, with SteamedHamz taking an early lead in the competition only to be unseated by Phreelickz with a dominant round two and Sardegna. They went at it hammer and tong all season, and it seemed SteamedHamz had the upper hand until he was absent from the final round, netting Phreelickz a smattering of unanswered points, which cost SteamedHamz the season win. Daraygun, through consistency and solid results close to and on the podium, was able to secure third for the online season, and best of the rest.
The Run Down
Anyone from New Zealand can register and race online from the comfort of their own homes (or local gaming lounges) to both qualify, and compete in their Division!
The top 15 racers are placed into Division 1, the next 15 in Division 2, and so on.
All the divisions will race over the following 6 weeks to determine the final rankings.
