Formula Challenge
2014
Petar made his debut at GPVWC in Formula Challenge at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Even before the races Petar was one of the favorites to win one of the races - his times on the LiveRacers timing system were very quick.
In qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix, Petar did what was he expected to do - putting his car on pole. Race 1 saw Petar have a great fight with Jonathan Holmes and just beat him by + 0.268s - meaning Petar took the victory on his debut race. Race 2 saw Petar unfortunately involved in a collision, forcing him to retire. Despite this, Petar's pace impressed many people and he was snapped up by Walk Racing for the rest of the season.
At Bahrain Brljak claimed pole again, and once again winning the first race of the evening, while he finished in 3rd place at the second race.
Petar would go onto to take 10 more wins in the season and win the championship with 531 points - a staggering 177 points ahead of second-place David Jundt.
