Winter 2026 DDRS Spec C5 Cup Series - Round 4 Recap
Watkins Glen International was the site of Round 4 of the C5 Cup Series. Situated in the rolling hills of upstate New York's Finger Lakes region, "The Glen" is a favorite among drivers and fans alike. The track features a mix of high-speed straights and challenging corners, making it a true test of driver skill and car performance. Wrestling the last few tenths out of the C5s on this track proved challenging! Running 10/10's through the bus stop meant a car that was seriously not connected to the ground, and the slightest misstep rewarded you with a one-way trip to the bushes.
Congratulations
Top honors went to Painless, who swept the night with wins in all three races and fastest lap bonuses in each. Congratulations to Rek for snagging pole position in qualifying!
