So, the season started off well in Mexico. The qualifying went well for the team, as they splited the two OMR's, while hitting their objective to qualify on the front row. Ancevski qualified just ahead of Harvey by 4 thousands of a second! The race wasn't as good, the team didn't seem to have race pace, with Harvey and Ancevski finishing only 4th and 8th respectively. Race 2 however, brought a big suprise. After a great start by Harvey, even taking the lead at one point, Litner with an engine failure held up everyone who was behind Harvey, except for McNamara and Rautavaara. McNamara went past the Brit fairly easily, however Harvey defended hard against Rautavaara, and the duo made contact which resulted in Rautavaara spinning out of the race. Harvey kept his composure to finish second, while Ancevski moved up to 6th from the start. In race 3, Harvey got off the line well once again, getting up 5 spots before losing the car on the curb and going back down to last. The team was off the pace again in the reversed grid race, but that didn't matter that much. However, with Utzer's podium in race 3, Apex Racing goes into round 2 with a debt of 1600$ approximately, which is not looking good for the team's title hopes.
