After a monthly break, GP2 goes to Valencia, in a coastal circuit near the Mediterranean. Grosjean and Bird are the championship leaders, but Pic, Valsecchi and Van der Garde are very close to them. Bianchi is quite behind, but still has chances to recover his form. We'll see what happens at Valencian streets.

Bravo to renaultargentina (TH), exceptional winner of this round! Mentions to pelagra (TH), who predicted both race winners like the round winner, and to CarAndDriverTheF1 users in general, because they did a superb round.
theTardis (AS) is the new leader, with two runner-ups; at Forums Championship, CarAndDriverTheF1 did a great leap and took the lead.
Observations:
- Azur (NA) and Jilhou (NA): Forgot Fastest Lap scorer of R1.
- In all predictions, were considered driver replacements in this form: Ceccon x Rigon and Parente x Turvey.
