The third and final oval race of the LFSCART season took place at the Kyoto Oval Reversed, for 310 miles.  Usually the last round of the season, this event has now taken a place as the second to last round of the season.  The race being a bit of a lottery, would make it critical for the championship contenders to run cleanly and finish at the sharp end of the field to keep their hopes alive into the finale.

Simon Cattell was dropped to the back after early race troubles, and needing a high finish to stay alive, charged forward through the run to end up in the top 5 with about 20 laps remaining.  Sure lock for the title, Jarl Teien just needed a finish to stay alive, but a higher finish would have kept him in the lead.  However, his oval bad luck came when he least needed it, finishing behind his closest contenders.

Cattell would win the race in a 3-lap sprint with a brilliant bit of defensive driving on the last lap, with Robbin Heijerman arriving second.  The race ran the first half caution-free, but the second half saw many cautions.  The race ran at a respectable average speed of 149.247 mph  despite the many late-race cautions.

The series finale is on September 3rd, from Kyoto Grand Prix Long with the Boothy Chicane.

The third from last round of the LFSCART series, also the penultimate road course round was held in Jamaica on the weekend of the 13th of August.  Fern Bay Gold Reversed was the circuit, a track that is narrow and twisty, be it forward or reversed.  Again, championship contenders Robbin Heijerman and Sebastian Hutchinson missed this round, leaving an opportunity for the chasers to catch; including Jarl Teien, Simon Cattell, Sampsa Jurvansuu and others in that area to close the gap.
