Round Results & Standings

With just the final round remaining, the 2014 FSR Fantasy League has its seventh new round winner in eight rounds. Austria's Matt Pacher scored 94 points to win his maiden FSR Fantasy League round. Despite its name, his Pacher Rookies Team had no rookies onboard, with his lineup consisting of David Greco, Ivar Kalamees, Martin Gosbee and Patrick De Wit. The Austrian manager made great use of the extra team budget available for the final two rounds! Great Britain's Dom Crill was 2nd on 89 points, while Jonathan Holmes, also from Great Britain, was 3rd on 87 points.

Although the retirements from both championship contenders caused low team scores in general, there were no surprises at the top of the standings. Great Britain's Fred Gosling placed 11th this round to remain as the leader of the standings, in the battle for the Thrustmaster Y-250C Gaming Headset, with 519 points. He now enjoys a 31-point gap over his fellow countryman James Sadler, going into the final round. Also from Great Britain, Jonathan Holmes now moved up to 3rd on the standings, with 480 points. With Danny van der Niet, Ernesto De Angelis, David Dominguez and Kyle Morris also close behind, it will be a nail-biting showdown for the 2014 FSR Fantasy League title during the season finale at the Circuit of the Americas. Who will become the 2014 FSR Fantasy League champion?

Matt Pacher joins Danny van der Niet (x2), Carlos Martin, Muhammed Patel, Liam Lagana, James Sadler and Giuseppe Marconi as a contender for the other Thrustmaster Y-250C Gaming Headset that will be drawn among all round winners at the end of the season.

Driver Results

One, won his second race of the season, making the best out of the retirements of the championship contenders Morgan Morand and Bono Huis.

Next on the list were the last podium finisher Ivar Kalamees and 4th-placed Rob van Starkenburg, who both scored 25 points.

After eight rounds, Morgan Morand remains the 2014 FSR Fantasy League's top scorer with 245 points, followed by Bono Huis (208 points) and Ivar Kalamees (172 points).

Drivers' market costs were updated. Jernej Simoncic (+300$), Martin Gosbee (+200$), Antonio Kolarec (+200$) and Peter Helmbro (+200$) were the drivers who climbed the costs ladder the most.
