Lowdown Across The Channel

Spielberg/Towcester, 25 April 2025 - Formula Holo And Stars Touring are set to tour Austria and Great Britain, bringing the circus to Red Bull Ring and Silverstone respectively.

The men, with their Porsche Cup Cars, are gonna do battle in Silverstone. Going into Rd4, Izuru Kanade is posing a genuine threat to Altare Regis' run for the STCC title, coming fresh from a win in Barcelona. Shinri's defense of his title has been going through a rough patch, scoring only a 3rd place in Miami, not scoring in the other two rounds. Temma Kishido of Sun-Mafia is advancing fast too behind his 2nd at Barcelona, knocking aside Bettel Gavis and Jurard T Rexford to slot 4th in the Driver's Standings.

Over at the FHWC side of things, Rounds 7 and 8 are set to be the most emotional pair of races as this will be the final dance for 3 people: Shion Murasaki of Aku-Ken Exodia, Promise FH's Mumei Nanashi and biggest of all, Myth-Watson's fan favorite Gura Gawr. The numbers 12, 50 and 41 will be retired permanently after Round 8 in Silverstone.

Going into Spielberg and Towcester, the titular driver of Area 15-Moonarchitects, Iofifteen Airani leads the pack despite having only a 3rd place in Imola just behind the nail-biting duel of Justice Racing Team's Raora Panthera and Usaken's leader Pekora Usada. Iofi, along with Noel Shirogane, Suisei Hoshimachi who cored 3rd in Montreal and Ina'nis Ninomae are the only racers left that have scored points in every round so far. Fans of these specific drivers are gonna root for them to continue their respective streaks upwards. Hajime Todoroki of Regloss Motorsport Group is tailing Iofi by 2 points and Choco makes a big splash into 3rd following winning the messy Canadian Holo Prix. Pekora settles to rounding off the Top 5 as she suffers pointless races, running into an incident in Barcelona and then not qualifying for Montreal at all.

About the matter of the Constructor's race, Usaken Fantasia still leads the 17 teams going into Spielberg with 556 points but it is Scuderia Genesi trailing them now with 449, owing to generally good points across their drivers, mainly Sora Tokino, Suisei and Azki. Sitting in third is Regloss Motorsport with 461. Promise fights through the impending pain of losing one more member to surge one more position into 8th. Myth meanwhile is feeling a bittersweet feeling across the 4 paddocks as their only winner so far in Gura Gawr and her #41 is set to hang up her helmet after Silverstone, leaving Calliope Mori, Kiara Takanashi and Ina to carry on for her. Advent tumbles down to 14th from 8th, placing behind previous cellar-dwellers Myth Watson. The search for progress will continue for X Seis SSM and Force Ubersheep as they now languish the cellar going into Round 7 and 8.
