2013 F1RWRS United States Grand Prix

The 2013 F1RWRS USA Grand Prix was the fourth race in the 2013 F1RWRS season, and the second of which to be held in North America. It was won by the Belgian Thomas De Bock, giving the team it's first win of the season.

Pre-Qualifying
Saeed Al Faisal, from FAT Turbo Racing, topped the charts with a 1:33.661. FAT Turbo, Jones Racing, and ARC all made it to the qualifying session, with all of their drivers placing in the Top 6.

Qualifying
Hagane Shizuka took position in the Sunshine Infiniti, with Chris Dagnall second and the Gillets of De Bock and Aurelien Moll third and fourth. Mark Dagnall was at a surprisingly low 14th position. Both cars from CR Motorsport did not qualify for the fourth race in a row.

Race
Kay Lon got a good start from 6th position and ended up 4th after the first lap. On Lap 6 Sammy Jones. By Lap 10 Shizuka was dominating the race, and certainly had the opportunity to win the race. Vidal Reyna-Sanchez, debuting for Melrose Racing Team, was lapped already by Lap 11, and showed that he was only there for the money. Afterwards, Melrose, Al Faisal, Chris Dagnall, Douglas Mann and Pippa Mann retire not simultaneously, but rather within laps of each other by Lap 30.

At Lap 30, Shizuka still led from Lon, De Bock, and Moll. On Lap 42, while running 5th, Dave McFaste went out of the race. Then Shizuka retired on Lap 48 with a transmission problem. This meant De Bock passed Kay Lon in the pits, and Moll also passed Lon, giving Gillet a provisional 1-2, but Moll retired with an engine problem. Even still, De Bock managed to win the race, with Lon second, Watkinson a surprising third, Rhys Davies fourth, Shinobu Katayama fifth and Dave Simpson 6th.
