The Palatov D4 was used in the Group Stage.  This little "junior" prototype car has kart like handling and was well suited to the tight and twisty ROC circuit.  Brljak, Kweekel and Kiss all went undefeated and moved on to the Quarterfinals.  A tie-breaker round would see Norbert Leitner, Pashalis Gergis, and James Sadler from Group A and Francesco Bigazzi, Muhammed Patel, and Dian Kostadinov from Group B duke it out.  Leitner was triumphant against Gergis and Sadler, moving to the Quarterfinals with Bigazzi and Patel from Group B.

 

On Sunday the Skip Barber Formula 2000 was used in the Quarterfinal stage.  All four rounds were decided in two races.  Brljak won against teammate Patel, Leitner beat out last minute replacement for Bigazzi, Georg Winter.  2016 Origin Front Row teammates Jeroen Kweekel and Kuba Brzezinski battled it out but Kweekel came out on top.  Daniel Kiss was victorious against Eros Masciulli.

 

The Semifinals had up to three cars to be used.  Brljak and Kiss would face off against Leitner and Kweekel, respectively.  Brljak and Kiss would win in the Megane, while they would lose in the EVE F3.  The third round used the Apex Modding GT3 911, which Brljak won against Leitner, cementing his place in the finals.  Kweekel would win in the 911 against Kiss.

 

Petar Brljak and Jeroen Kweekel would face off in the Finals, where the drivers would pick the cars each round.  World Champion Petar Brljak would choose the Renault Megane the first round, soundly beating Kweekel.  The PRO Champion then chose the Apex 911 for the second round, but to much disappointment was beaten again by Brljak.  The thrid round was Brljak's choice again, and he wisely chose the Apex 911.  The World Champion proved to be too much for Kweekel to handle.  Brljak decisively beat Kweekel to take the Race of Champions crown.  This tops off a perfect year for Petar Brljak, winning every championship he entered.
