The newcomers to this series are Kson, Lucastre Mavia, Nadechama, and Tenjin Kotone. Everyone from the 3rd series, except for Pochi-sensei, is returning for this series. Made the decision to withdraw Pochi a couple days before the start of this series because she's still dealing with health issues; we all wish her the best of health during her time away from streaming, and look forward to seeing her again in May's 5th series.

Anyway, I plan to open up suggestions for drivers to add to the roster for the aforementioned 5th series, which is a big one, because it's Indy 500 month. After the end of the 4th series, the top 10 in the points standings, and Pochi, will earn automatic roster spots for the 5th series, while the rest of the roster and new driver suggestions will be put into a poll, and the top selections in the poll will fill out the rest of the 40-driver roster for series 5.

Even more news: I plan to stream NijiCar (Nijisanji stock car) races starting after this current series; the preliminary stage races will just be unannounced guerilla streams on weeknights, whenever I have time on hand to stream, with the playoff races to be on weekends whose dates would be announced in advance. This series has taken months to plan and prepare, and I really wanna try to provide more fun racing for you fellas in 2022.

Round 2 in Cleveland

Round 3 in Richmond

[Anonymous No.]

Daytona top 3:
1. Natsume
2. Tomoshika
3. Akari

Cleveland top 3:
1. Saruei
2. Natsume
3. Koopa

Richmond top 3:
1. Lilyhops
2. Bao
3. Kotone H.

Overall championship top 5 (after round 3):
1. Natsume (120)
2. Lilyhops (92)
3. Tenten (90)
4. Saruei (71)
5. Tomoshika (68)

Early drama ensued for Tenten as she held the lead for many laps at Cleveland and Richmond only to be involved in a session of bumper cars late in both races, resulting in her finishing just outside the podium both times! Despite that, she's still 3rd in the overall points standings, because it helps to be consistent sometimes.

No first-time race winners today, as seasoned IndieCar veterans took almost all podium spots in the three races, although Tenjin Kotone came very close to making the podium. What will be of the indies heading to the next three races at Brainerd, Darlington, and Monterrey? Be sure to tune in tomorrow!
