+ | {{*mp}} Round 4 in [[2013 Challenge Hungary Grand Prix|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. | ||
{{*mp}} 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. | {{*mp}} In light of controversy surrounding startline accidents, the GPVWC introduces new regulations dictating the mandatory use of launch control at race starts.

{{*mp}} Round 3 in [[2013 Challenge Austrian Grand Prix|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. | {{*mp}} Round 3 in [[2013 Challenge Austrian Grand Prix|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.

{{*mp}} Round 2 at [[2013 Challenge Malaysian Grand Prix|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. | {{*mp}} Round 2 at [[2013 Challenge Malaysian Grand Prix|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.
