INDYCAR iRacing Challenge S2 FINAL

April Fools' Day or Maundy Thursday saw the end of the second season of the INDYCAR iRacing Challenge, which took place at the virtual Sebring after fans voted online for which venue will the final round takes place.

Before the race, sadly, two-time Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato, wasn't able to took part in the final virtual race of this season due to technical issues. Anyway, the race starts with Alex Palou served as the polesitter of the last virtual race of this season and he was therefore started the 26-race action at the virtual Sebring. However, he was shortly overtaken by Sage Karam at the start. As the race heads on the 13th lap, RC Enerson overtook Karam for the lead, only to be gunned down by Enzo Fittipaldi shortly a lap later. With 12 laps to go, Alex Palou retook the lead and as we thought he's going for the pole-to-win approach, the Supercars titan Scott McLaughlin came out of nowhere and then overtook Palou as the climax draws near.
