If the race 3 was though, then this one was thougher. With just 12 finishers this race is the one to have the least finishers so far this season.

On narrow Fern Bay track all drivers decided to take FXO, and again front left tire was the one to cause the problems like the last race. More simularity with last race is starting grid.

Again Đaković on pole, Kovač 2nd and Vučković 3rd and again Đaković and Vučković had great start, taking 1st and 2nd. Kovač strugled to pass Vučković, even he was on stligtly better pace. In the mean time, Đaković made a 10 sec gap.

So on the end of the lap 15 Kovač decided to take his mandatary pitstop and have some clear track. That showed as a good stretegy, and he passes Vučković and this showed as specially good strategy when Đaković clipped a wall out of T1 on the lap 23 and got some bad damage. It was 11 laps to go, it took Đaković two laps to realise that he's gonna have to do that pit stop and get in front of Kovač to do some blocking.

Kovač finally cought Đaković, and it was three laps of awesome fight to the end. Even with significatly faster pace, Kovač didn't manage to outsmart Đaković who didn't make and big mistakes on corner exits and allow Kovač to get along side, but still Kovač made great exit out of final corner and they finished side by side, but still Đaković took 4th win of the season.

Vučković sattled for 3rd again, to become the first driver who finished on final step of the podium twice, but he's still 6th in points standings, because he missed race 1 of the season.

Dinkić finished 4th for 3rd time this season and strengthen his 3rd position in points table.

We're staying on Fern Bay for another race in two weeks. This time not such hard combo with crowds favorite slow cars, XFG and XRG. It's gonna be club layout and whole loads of fun.
