The British Grand Prix wasn't the best, but we did see Vibes win the race and takes the fasest lap, whilst Speed takes a back to back podium and Hugo taking the bottom step. Legendary finished P4 after receiving a 30 second time penalty post race due to failing to serve his penalty during the race. PC also had the same penalty and for the same reason, but finished P5 in his debut race. Pickel came in P6, Melon came in P7 and Lightning came in P8.

After the Irish Grand Prix, the world of FLS had been struct with more disappointing news. Ricciardo, the driver from CiM Junior, has unfortunately called time on his FLS career.

Ricciardo, for his entire career, drove for the sister team of Ci Motorsports from the very beginning. He would come to all races, score points and fill in for the drivers of the main team.

"He was a driver filled with so much talent. I watched him grow and mature over the seasons. He was, in my opinion, the greatest midfield points scorer that FLS has ever seen." - KickDown, CiM Founder/Owner and FLS Owner

"I wasn't his boss for long but still, racing against him was fun. Hes helped so much after Ci Motorsports had a dreadful start to the second season. He filled in to help the main team score points and move up the standings." - Vieira, CiM Jr Owner

"He was a great driver and a great friend. It's sad to see him leave the track but I wish him good luck in his future." - Mak Mak, Former CiM Jr Driver and Ginger Motorsports Driver

Throughout his career, Ricciardo has 1 sprint podium, 1 podium from Season Two's Japanese Grand Prix at Tsukuba and a total of 112 points, with his highest finish in the standings being P7. But now, the departing driver says goodbye to the wheel of an FLS car but says hello to the wheel of our safety car.

In between four races, we have seen two retirements. Both of those being Clutch and Ricciardo. However, most in FLS may be questioning who will be the replacements for these two drivers.

The driver replacing Ricciardo is Noobgang. He will be taking his debut this week at the Italian Grand Prix, one of the two home Grand Prixs of his new team, CiM Junior. Monster Energy have also signed a new rookie to replace Clutch. His name is Josh

Some Background Info (About Noobgang): Noobgang drives for Ci Motorsports in a GT3 league called Sunoco Multi Class Championship. Recently, he took his maiden world driver's title in his rookie season, helping the team get a world constructor's title too. He is now set to drive the LMdH for the third season of SMCC.

It is the 5th of August and it is Race Week!

The drivers are taken to Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland and will drive around a newly constructed track.

Qualifying

The home hero, IrishJoker, takes Pole in his McKenna making it Pole for him and his team. Micster and Liam filled in for the main drivers in Mercedes-AMG Grand GT and qualified a career best P2 and P3. Next was Bobby and Melon of Danish Motorsports who qualified P4 and P5. Douzy came P1 after setting a lap to put him into provisional pole, but after pitting he was pushed down to P6. And lastly, Judge came in to qualify P7 for AF Racing.

Grand Prix

Melon took a maiden Grand Prix win as well as the fastest lap, with Liam taking a career best and maiden Podium finish in P2. Douzy followed it up taking the bottom step of the Podium. Bobby came in to finish P4 with Micster finishing P5. Clutch came in to race for Vibes, but grip was a problem and so he only managed P6 with Judge taking P7 and IrishJoker taking P8 after a disappointing DNF.

During FLS' public event of 1 Hour of Monaco, team applications reopened to replace inactive teams.

A total of two new teams have been added to the league's roster, but before we reveal who joined we need to reveal who left.

The team that left the league was IWL Charouz Rcing. The team was owned by driver Vasa but had only scored points in one race.

The second team is Nitro Kaulig Sahara Racing, which has been removed from the league due to inactivity. The team previously had more activity throughout seasons one and two, but since the Team C.E.O. was banned due to racism, the team started slowly dying.

The team were only really known for one thing. That one thing was their rookie driver in season one, Vibes, had take a maiden podium and fastest lap on debut. Vibes was later stolen mid-season two by KickDown to be paired up with Douzy.

The first new team to join the league is the American team Spades WRT, owned by PC.

The second new team to join the league is the Italian team GWM Racing, owned by Giorgo and his broadcasting group, Giorgo World Media, who also broadcasts our races.
