GT2 World Series
After completely dominating round one we were on pole position for round two once again. Due to a poor race start we could only manage to finish 2nd, but we were immediately back on winning ways in round 3 with another pole position, fastest lap and a race win. By this point we already established a huge points lead over LowLandLions and final two rounds were a lot more about just finishing it. However Tomek Nogieć qualified once again one pole position for us in round 4. He wasn't of the best luck as it will prove that he made a vital mistake in pits costing us a DT and dropping us eventually to finish 3rd in that race. For the final round we needed just to finish inside top 10 and we would grab the title. Once again we were on pole position, but bad luck struck once again when Tomek suffered a disconnect at the beginning of his 2nd stint. This would happen just before the S/F line and as a lot of teams hadn't pitted yet we suddenly found ourselves down in 21st with nearly two laps of gap. But there were slightly less than 5 hours to go and Tomek recovered us back to 16th till the end of 2nd hour. Niki would improve this getting back into top 10 by the end of 4th hour and ultimately with two hours to go Tomek would get us as high as 5th which was more than enough to score our very first endurance title.

International GT SeriesThe second half of IGTC started on a bad foot for us. Tomek would suffer a BSOD and we would manage only 9th. Joe and Niki did a fantastic job in final round nearly winning the race, but due to Joe's spin in last hour they would only finish 3rd to complete the season in 4th overall.

Original LFS League
As Piotr left the team to go back to his old compatriots at Conquest Jarno was left as our only racer in OLFSL. With a huge lead in first eight races he finished 2nd in round 9, won the round 10 and secure the championship with 12th and 8th in final two rounds.

Open Wheeler Racing League S2
Jarno continued on with his impressive performance this year in open wheeler leagues with 5 wins in first 3 rounds of OWRL S2 championship. Only once he finished 3rd in these first three rounds that were having a rev grids for 2nd race. In 2nd half of the championship he won the round 4 and even without attending round 5 was crowned a champion with one more round to go.

TBO World Championship
Niki opened up a good season in inaugural season of TBO World Championship with finishing high 2nd in round 1 and winning round two. The bad luck stroke him when he was pushed off the track in round 3 by LLL's Isaac Price and dropped down to 9th from the lead. In recovery Niki picked up a DT for contact with one of the other competitors and would only manage to finish 4th. Round 4 went great until the closing stages of the race when he would suffer a tire puncture dropping him to 8th. Niki would miss the final two rounds of championship due to family obligations as races were held on Sunday and finish the championship in 3rd.
