After that the league continued in American soil, but this time on a oval race course. After the last oval race disaster, João Oliveira made made a solid race, and without compromising, took the GS powered car to a final good position 6 after more than 102 completed laps.
Some consistent races improved his championship situation, and that would continue at the Vanport race track, where Joao would be back to the podiums. The race would be (again) marked by a series of incidents and crashes that influenced the final aftermath result. João started from P6 but right after T1, he was P10 in order to avoid a crash. Doing two stopper strategy, that would be enough to fight for P1 at the end, but some touches in his car by other participants made his pitstops longer than expected. In the final stint, fighting for P2 or P3 would all he could get, and even that was almost impossible, as a big crash in the very last lap ruined his car. Fortunately, his car could still be carried to the finish line in order to guarantee the final podium position.
