There was at least a bit of intrigue in this round - despit half of standings top4 not being present,the remaining half had their battle between themselves. Table leader Unite set the fastest lap in qualifying,but Spiky's qualifying laptime was just 0.05s slower. The even front row was a good chance for 2nd place starter to use outside lane of turn 1 to pass the polesitter and Spiky used it well. He could hold on for the lead for more than 1/4 of the race,but then Unite found a way to pass him and started to pull away proving,that his racespeed is better than his rival's. At the end win with 13 seconds gap over Spiky. J.A.Katila finished 3rd and last on lead lap,Rony and Jeff completed top5.After round 3 the series is now Unite's to lose - he trippled his points gap over closest follower and now has 9 points over Spiky. These 2 drivers are now considered as only realistic championship candidates as the 3rd position is already 21 points behind leader with 17 points available in each of 2 following rounds. Despite not attending round 3,in 3rd place is R.Kardol,but he's ahead of Rony only because of tiebreaker (1 win),J.A.Katila is 5th and has a good shot of climbing up.In teams championship the status quo remains as all top4 teams scored either 18 or 17 points in last round. RGA has their lead increased by 1 point and is now 7 points ahead of Yes. Both B2R and WCL closed up on Yes by single point.In nations cup the situation is completely different - Finland has already practically wrapped up the title as none of the closer following nations have 2 drivers signed up for series,which is the only theoretical option to them to even have a chance for title. Finland is now 37 points ahead of Slovakia,Netherlands follows another 11 points behind.After the trip around the world in last 2 rounds,START returns to England for final 2 rounds. First of them is in Corby - Rockingham speedway,where the 4th round will be run on Rockingham Handling configuration,but in reversed direction. It is the shortest course of the season (allthough only 25m shorter than previous round track) and therefor the race will feature the most lapscount - 97. Track features 2 different hairpins,a long sweeper which is practically the only righthander of the track,and an almost 90° turn as final turn,which probably will cause most problems. Due to relatively low average speed of the course,this will be the longest round of the season as race distance is expected to be completed in just over 80 minutes.
