Season summary
The long-awaited début season of Formulo Galanta proved to be one of high quality and high drama as was expected before the season. Ĉapro, AM Evo, Alenko Marino and Peterso marched strong driver line-ups to the grid and were the pre-season favourites. Ĉapro started the season exceptionally as drivers Randolfo Travers and Garegin Gerulf were the two fastest drivers in the qualifying for the season opener at Benĝago. Unfortunately both had to retire the race that saw changing coniditions shake up the pack. Suno's Hildefons Agtveno was the master of the conditions, taking a surprise lead in the championship. AM Evo's Ferminto Delgado won the sprint race.
After the first round there wasn't as many reasons to celebrate though because Delgado's victory was to be AM Evo's only win on their way to 4th in the constructors' championship. Agtveno was able to add another victory to her tally in the sprint race of the chaotic Gesbrokia GP weekend but all the other 17 races were won by either Ĉapro or Alenko Marino. Ĉapro, especially in the hands of Travers, looked to be the best car available. With a total of 5 pole positions and 8 wins to his name, Travers could afford to retire from the last four races and still win the championship. Heading into the last round of the season Alenko Marino's Roksan Barko was Travers' main rival as she was only 13 points behind the Ĉapro driver. A retirement in the feature race and a poor 11th place finish in the sprint however meant that Barko couldn't add to her points tally and had to settle for silver in the drivers' championship. Her teammate Vardan Thais Katalano's decent results compared to Ĉapro's Gerulf however netted Alenko Marino the constructors' championship with only 9 points over Ĉapro.
Further back in the standings it was a season to forget for the Peterso team. One of the wealthiest teams in the championship, their best result of the season was Klairo Julio's 6th place finish at the Ŝanŝariara GP. Peterso finished the season 8th in the constructors' standings and informed soon after the final race that Pratŝer Baijer was not going to continue in the team in season 2. AM Evo was another of the "Big 4" teams to announce a change to their driver line-up or season 2. Experienced 37 year old Jon-Kvan Hopkin, whose only highlight of the season had been a pole position at the Ŝarcena GP, was to be replaced by Hildefons Agtveno who had been highly impressive for Suno.
