Round 4 in Hungary sees two brand new winners, both from the USA; Danny Asbury and Patrick Fogel win Race 1 and Race 2 respectively; Fogel winning from pole. The new launch control sees a considerable improvement to the race starts, though overall attrition is still high. Emanuel Gaczella suffers a relatively-scruffy round, and may yet be subject to penalties; however, as the only top-3 driver present, Gaczella extends his lead in the championship to over 50 points.
In light of controversy surrounding startline accidents, the GPVWC introduces new regulations dictating the mandatory use of launch control at race starts. Further changes include the introduction of a randomised starting order for the first 15-20 cars in race two.
Round 3 in Austria, and fears of a huge and embarrassing accident at the first corner are thankfully allayed, when the huge and embarrassing accident instead happens on the start line. Again. Oscar Hardwick proves the surprise package, in the inaptly-named BackMarker Brigade, dominating qualifying and the first race. A disastrous second race for Ari Nieminen sees main rival, and Race 2 winner, Emanuel Gaczella shoot into the lead of the championship by 23 points. Top 3 drivers now 40 points clear of the rest of the field.
Round 2 at Sepang sees Ghovand Keanie dominate the soaking Malaysian track in a one-off appearance for SimInk Motorsport, taking Pole and Race 1, though he is later demoted to 4th by the Stewards. In the challenging, changing conditions of race 2, Emanuel Gaczella emerges to win convincingly, but it is Ari Nieminen, completing a clean-sweep of podiums so far this year, and inheriting the Race 1 victory, who retains his lead at the top of the driver's championship. The series is still to witness an incident-free start however.
The 2013 Formula Challenge mod is revealed to be based on Formula 2 and both the trackpack and mod are now available via simsync.
