2015 Core-Star Light Season

The 2015 Core-Star Light Season was the eighteenth season of the Core-Star Light Racing Series and the twelfth time it will run under the "Core-Star Light racing season" name, which it got back in 2004. This season had the most races up to that point, with 16 races.

The American racing driver Jared Edwards would be the the champion of the **2015 Core-Star Light Season**, He would win the first two races of the season, at Firwood Motocenter, and Midwest Motocenter (Which made it's return to the calendar after 14 years). Winning his first 2 races of the season made everyone think that he could have a great opportunity at winning the title, which he did without to much worry. However 2nd place Aaron Byrne would also have an very good season, and despite not winning a race, he would finish the season off with 161 points, to Edwards 179 points. (18 points between) Jared would be the 2nd ever American driver to win the title, after Jonathan Simmons won it back in the 2013 season. 3rd placed Erick Coles had an interesting season, where he would win the most important race of the season at the Madman Stadium Figure 8 race. Him finishing in 3rd place in the standings meant that it was his highest position in the final driver standings, as he had the previous two years finished in 4th place. In 4th place is an suprise. Craig Starikov would have an very impressive season where he would only be 3 points away from Coles 146 points in the standings. He was really solid all around and improved very much this season. He would actually finish in 2nd place in the Madman Stadium Figure 8 Race. Not far away From Erick Coles, as he went on to win the race. William Coverington showed that he still has it, and finished in 5th place in the standings after once again winning the last race of the season as he did at the Dirt Devil Stadium race in the 2013 season. This meant that he was the first 2nd time winner at that particular race in it's 16th year in the series. Much like he did in 2013, William would finish once again in 5th place in the final standings. In 6th place an very impressive comeback for Matt Cunningham, as he finished only in 27th place the year before, (2014) he finished the season with 128 points, and not really far away from Coverington's 131 points. In 7th place the runner up in the 2014 season, Danny Gartenmann. He would win at the Vale Falls Circuit race this year, which meant it was his second win in the series. Although his 2015 season was not as good as his 2014 season, it was still solid. Julian Caywood-Beeks would finish 8th in the standings, and he would win a race this season, at Finncross Circuit and finish the season of with 116 points. Not really much to say other than that, but he did have a really solid season once again, and he actually finished a position higher than he did in the 2014 season. In 9th place, a rookie of last year that only drove in 3 races, Julius Boxall. Now, he would be the most improved driver of the season, and no one though he would perform like he did. This made him look like he could possibly be a driver for the future. He had 113 points by the end of the season. In 10th place, Canadian Oliver Halkett. He won 2 races, the Hillstreet Circuit race and the Sandstone Raceway race. It would be his highest finish in the standings at that point. He would have 112 points by the end of the season. Sergio Molina also had 112 points in the standings but did not win a race, so Oliver finished in 10th, and Sergio in 11th.

Other drivers of note includes, Marcus Oatway's 2 victories at Rosenheim Raceway and Clayridge Circuit. Joe Clarke-Hackston would win at the Boulder Bank Circuit race, and the season saw a bunch of first time winners which included, Christian Valdez, (Won at Rockfield Roughspot) Adam Ebanks-Landell, (Won at Espedalen Raceway) Will Wassey, (Won at Pinehills Raceway) Brian Malarczyk (Won at Northfolk Ring) and Polish rookie Jakub Matuschyk (Won at Savolax Sandpit)

Oh and by the way speaking of the rookies, they were a little bit better than they were in the 2014 season. The higest placed rookie in the standings would be Jonathan Parks-Sewell with 96 points. He would win rookie of the year. Then it would be Elvis Lorenzen, Alexis Novakovich, and Jakub Matuschyk the next 3 after JPS. (Jonathan Parks-Sewell).
