<div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Heat 4</span></strong></div><br/>The fourth heat started off strangely, with Jason missing his start in the WRX STI which would have been the most likely candidate to steal first place right off the line thanks to its four-wheel drive, giving it excellent acceleration and traction from a dig. It was clear that he wasn't driving like himself, falling immediately to the back of the pack rather than taking the lead.<br/><br/>None of the others were fooling around, however, especially not Juliana and Demi who were off to a great and hotly contested start. Despite a few close calls, Jules was able to maintain her lead, ands the battling between her and Demi gave Adriano and even Jason the chance to catch up. Usually, it may have been Jason pushing the issue more than anyone else, but tonight it was Adriano who was clearly not content with getting third place in a qualifier heat.<br/><br/>He kept the pressure on Demi and finally overtook her, but the blonde wasn't willing to lose her position when she was still just one second behind Juliana and first place, so she insisted on trying to retake it when she probably shouldn't have. Technically, she did manage to block Adriano and keep him from passing, but it forced both of them to brake so as to avoid skidding off of the track like Star, and that left it wide open for Jason to zip by both of them on the inside when coming out of the turn, totally uncontested.<br/><br/>In what must have been a disappointing show for the gathered crowd and possibly for Jules, Jason didn't challenge her at all and seemed satisfied with just keeping the pace until the end of the race. Meanwhile, Adriano and Demi could still battle for bragging rights if they wanted to, but there clearly wasn't enough time or track left for them in the race to catch up.
