For some this might have been return to past,where they were running single make races with very similar cars,not because it was so much fun,but because you simply wanted to reach 100% completion. However this was not just a "real driving simulator" on a console,this was a proper racing sim with actual human rivals and the field was much bigger - a total of 26 cars were standing on grid and ready to race. The K-car type car delivered just 64 horsepower,so it was surely no high speed race,but still the average race speed exceeded 100 km/h,despite just 4 drivers being able to exceed 150 km/h top speed mark during the race. This race reached a milestone yesterday in RTFR history - the total distance of all RTFR races exceeded 25 thousand kilometers.

Despite this race being just half as fast as previous race,it was won by the same driver,even if he's rather known for racing faster cars - Gábor scored the 2nd race win in row and started his 4th winning streak,only his teammate and latelly in RTFR inactive Botsi has more winning streaks. Additionally Gábor added to his stats the 24th racewin,17th pole position (tied 3rd most now),19th fastest lap of the race and 49th top5 finish,but in country level he scored 30th racewin for Hungary - it's the 3rd country reaching this mark. After some more or less physical disputes on track R.Kardol secured the 2nd place finish,which is his 79th top5 finish,his rival Fatal did not report anything,so the after race discussions reached some settlement between drivers - 3rd in the results for the finn,which is his 21st top5 finish. From 17 previous RTFR starts PedroBR was able to reach 9th as his best finishing result,seems he found his specialisation car as he finished 4th yesterday,while his 6th place in qualifying halved the number of his best previous best qualifying. His more experienced teammate Michal closed the top5 - the 101st RTFR start brought him 12th top5 finish.

Next week at the same server there will be a much more colorful field - it is time for the 8th round of our brand new RandomCar series,league where drivers get drawn their cars out of pool of 25 cars from PL200 class (balanced around LFS's TBO class). For those not signed up or being marked inactive - make sure you signup or reactivate before monday's draw to have whole 24h time of practice. In 2 weeks RTFR server will be returned to RTFR duties - the combo was announced during the broadcast,so check it for some information,full info as always in the weekend before the race. And in 3 weeks time RTFR XL will bring a quite classic LFS combo - FO8 at Aston North Reversed.

Quote from rane_nbg :How do we agree on which setup to choose as a "fixed one"?

I see 2 options on this one:
1 - server side enforcement (server owner/admin sets required limitations in server options/config)
2 - mod side limitation (mod creator selects what settings are changable and what are fixed)

- - - - - - - - - -

LFS provided place and concrete objects - rest of this race was carried out with community's imagination. It was the first ever visit to the normally empty Layout Square for any of the RTFR series,where a 3.67km track was set up to be run with a GT4 class car. Compared to us well known LFS GTR class cars,this has more weight,narrower tyres,less aero effect and a bit less power,optionally tamable with traction control and ABS - that all created pretty much close racing,which resulted in a lot of paint trading,as some were very unpatient and some had to defend their positions by any means necessary. But there were no protests made,so the organization will let this pass but hopes for more respectful and clean racing in future.

Just like a week ago in normal RTFR,this race went under the sign of Gábor,who was the wastest through whole race evening. The hungarian was the only one to break 1:32 laptime mark in qualifying to take home his 7th pole position,tying for 3rd most all time in series and also scoring the 10th pole position for Hungary. Even if he did not led most laps through the race,he still did not leave any chances for competition,bringing home the 10th RTFR XL racewin for Hungary,7th for himself,setting also the fastest lap of the race - his 7th,putting him in sole 3rd in this chart. Additionally he scored his 15th top5 finish. Despite the penalty,Upsas finished in undoubted 2nd place,leading 29 of 50 laps during the pitstop shuffling phase,6th top5 finish for the previous 2-time racewinner. Unlike week ago,Zesty was able to improve his best finishing position - in both RTFR series his best result was 4th,week ago he just repeated it in normal RTFR,yesterday he improved it in XL version,scoring his 2nd top5 finish. 4th place finish was taken by Doni,who scored his 6th top5 finish,but top5 was closed by R.Kardol,who redeemed his false start (autospectated by LFS) and pitlane restart with his 41st top5 finish.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
With 30 drivers attendance,the N.400S GT4 puts itself into 3rd place in the most attended cars chart. The fun part about this fact - it makes the top of the table consist of already 4 different GTR class cars before cars of any other classes.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
This is probably the weirdest clock pitter in the history - just one driver finished the race without any pitwork,however M@CI3K needed 2 stops at pitbox to not score a penalty as his 1st stop was 0.1s too short. The custom pitlane gave him the advantage to make a 2nd pitstop in same pitlane visit - it's up to debate if such behaviour should be forbidden in future.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Doni had a rather weak qualifying by setting best laptime of the 2nd half of the field,however he was much better in race,improving his position by 12 places finishing 4th.

VOD at Youtube:


The submitted combo for the next race was no surprise knowing the driver who had the right to do so - Formula V8 was selected to be run in Aston North configuration in reversed direction. This will be a repeat of 41st RTFR XL,won by 2nd place finisher of yesterday's race - Upsas,who scored his 1st RTFR XL race win back then. It will be a 47 laps race again. That's about plans in 4 weeks,however next tuesday we will reduce race speeds to run one of the rather slower cars,full info will posted in the weekend as always.

Pitting rules:
Race requires a minimum time spent in pitstall of 10 seconds. That can be done either with single pitstop or sum of multiple pitstops. Driver who has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by tripling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 5 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 1 minute penalty added to finish time (10s*3 + additional 30s).

With the new VERL season nearing the opnening round of RTFR 2023 season 2 was run in a classic VERL combo - the Formula V8 in the Westhill International configuration,allthough the distance was shorter than VERL's 200km. Still the race was attended by 2 last VERL champions,the latest however was with the new VERL car. A total of 24 drivers qualified for the race,however only 20 were standing on grid waiting for green light,17 endured the 33 minutes race to see the chequred flag.

The last VERL Formula V8 champion Gábor was on the heights of duty once again,outqualifying the competition by 0.4 seconds and scoring his 16th pole position in RTFR. He led all 20 laps on the way to victory lane,clinching his 23rd RTFR racewin and on the final lap securing also fastest lap of the race - his 18th. The hungarian has now a total of 48 top5 finishes and lead in 2023 season 2 standings after first of 10 rounds. The defending VERL champion (the one who won series with new car) proved himself being a worthy FO8 driver too being the only driver having the winner on visibility range whole race long,finishing with 5.5 seconds gap. That was Fatal's 20th top5 finish. The late race semi-distant 3-way battle for 3nd place was won by Sean,who scored his highest RTFR finish (improvement by a single positon) and 3rd top5 finish. Despite running most of the race 3rd,Zesty threw the chance for his best RTFR finish away on his own,eventually rescuing 4th place finish to have the complete repeat of his best achievements yesterday - 3rd in qualifying and 4th in race,adding 3rd top5 finish to his list. Ayoub Maroc completed the top5,scoring his 10th top5 finish in his 30th overall finish.

There was a slight hint about next RTFR combo in the stream - that's all the info you can get now,besides the fact that speeds will go down drastically. But what's coming first is 80th RTFR XL,which will be run on completelly non-standard LFS combo - N.400S GT4 will be run in S1dusring,marking 1st ever RTFR appearance in Layout square,full info will be posted on friday.

7th round was the 1st return of a specific configuration - the longest standard config of South City was selected for the second time,however for the 2nd try if was run in reversed direction. Also the attendance keeps it's usual downwards trend - 22 drivers in qualifying is the lowest number in league's history,however 20 cars on grid was 1 more than last round,while repeating finishers count of last round this turned out to be the round with lowest finishers percentage - 85%.

The fastest driver in qualifying was 1st time participant Gábor,who set more than half a second faster laptime to earn the pole position. He did not use his chance of best starting position as he left the server. So the best position on grid was handed over to teammate of actual polesitter - R.Kardol,who led all 17 laps of the race to mark himself as a race winner also in this series. He was chased hard whole race long by Arska,who finished just 0.22 seconds behind winner. Thehemuli finished 3rd to make 2 AWD cars on the podium.

The standings leader did not arrive this round,but still kept his lead,which was cut to 7 points - both leader's closest rivals finished behind each other and kept their positions in status quo as Nosle still is 2nd and RD2 is 3rd.

The leading 2 teams switched positions again - S1dus returned to lead and is 7 points in front of B2R,RGA is still 3rd and still 16 points behind leaders. Nations leader Lithuania was not represented in this round,while their closest rivals Finland scored 38 points,cutting the lead to 49 in standings. The fight for 3rd best nation is still the same Louxembourg/Bulgaria duel,currently led by Nosle's represented nation. The 4-time race winners URC1 were not even drawn for this round and it lost another chunk of points,however both closest rivals did not score a point,so they were replaced by others - Talot is now 2nd best car 19 points off lead,followed by most drawn car Imprezzive another 3 points behind.

The randomized played weird tricks in this round as it drew only 17 cars out of 25 possible for 48 drivers. Another 3 cars were simply not used,resulting in a field of 14 different cars for this round. Imprezzive meanwhil has been drawn 27 times,topping the chart of most draws,however no new driver got the same car for 3rd time,but Nosle joined his teammate in 2 cars drawn twice club.

The 8th round in 4 weeks will be held in the shortest track in the series - Fern Bay's custom configuration Cadet has been selected,which is a 2.27km extended version of Club configuration,the race will be 28 laps long.

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)


This tuesday in RTSR (Rony's Tuesday's Slow Race)... Despite some assumptions,this wasn't even close to be slowest RTFR ever as with average speed of 86km/h yesterday's race was 12km/h faster than 86th RTFR,run with UF1 at Fern Bay's smaller rallycross track. In total there have been 5 RTFR races with slower average speed,unsurprisingly 3 of those were run with slowest LFS' standard car UF1,other 2 - with XRG and MRT each. Also this was the 2nd ever RTFR's visit on South City's Sprint 2 configuration,however the other race was run in other direction,so the series is still discovering new standard tracks. With quite little space around and low speeds,this was pretty much a crowded race where multiple cars were trying to go for same real estate spot,causing plenty of paint trading,still there were no noticable complaints between drivers.

R.Kardol got used to this car well,being the fastest in qualifying just shy of rumored track record (unfortunatelly no readable data with this mod in Airio) set in practice,scoring his 16th and Netherland's 20th pole position. He used his advantage of best starting position well to lead all 35 laps and score his 18th RTFR race win,rounding also in this stat his country's win count to 20. Additionally it was the dutchman's 78th top5 finish. If some struggled with this car,it was the best result ever for others - Doni finished 2nd yesterday,improving his personal best finishing position by 1,while during the race he set his 1st ever fastest lap of the race,additionally scoring also his 15th top5 finish. Arska was one of 3 drivers to finish in same position they started from - the finn took 3rd position in both qualifying and race,which is his 21st top5 finish. Fnatic finished 4th scoring his 4th top5 finish,Three Jump repeated his personal best finishing position 5th for the 2nd time,while improved his best qualifying result by 3 positions as he was 2nd best in the session.

Next week RGE will return to South City with a colorful cars field - the 7th round of RandomCar 2023 series will be run in the longest standard configuration. In 2 weeks time RTFR will start the 2nd scored season of this year with 1st round of 10,run with one of the slick tyre cars. But in 3 weeks time RTFR XL will visit the Layout Square for the 1st time ever - the combo for this race has been submitted and it will be a GT4 version of N.400S run in S1dusring. This combo will be set up for laptime testing soon in RTFR server!

RandomCar's lineup has been joined by another version of the XF chassis - the all wheel drive XF GARIS,which is the first 3-cylinder car in the cars list. Even if the car did not receive a lot of votes in previous voting and ended up in tied 4th position,it was nominated by winner of previous race and won the voting by big margin. The initial balancing for this car is 7% air restriction.

With this addition the cars list has reached 25 cars - organization has decided to reduce the frequency of new cars additions to half,meaning that there will be voting for a new car only after every 2nd race,while it will feature nominations of both race winners. This has been decided due 2 factors - competitional factor in manufacturers championship (the more cars,the higher the chance that some cars will not be drawn) and selection factor as it was more and more difficult to find quality candidates.

* PENALTIES :
ZFRL•Thehemuli - receives 5.18 seconds penalty added to his finish time for minimum pit time violation.
[WCL] P.Koivunen - receives 18.77 seconds penalty added to his finish time for minimum pit time violation.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: Even at this point this is aimed at certain individual,it also counts to everyone - if you have absolutelly no intention to finish the race,PLEASE DO NOT START IT! It is unfair to other drivers who practiced hard and are interested to achieve a good result if someone just joins,goes for agressive moves in first few laps,impacts race progress of others in negative way and then just leaves as they had their "fun" in field of cars without caring about main goal of a race - finishing it. If this behaviour will continue,organisation will be forced to deny entry of these individuals.

- - - - - - - - - -

According to LFSW chart of car usage the finnish made real world car Raceabout is the least used default car of LFS,having completed just half of the lapcount online than the 2nd least used car FZ5 and 46 times less than the most popular car XFG. Despite that this race had repeated highest attendace in the past 14 RTFR XL races with 31 drivers qualifying and the attendance will put RAC in 5th position in most attended cars chart of RTFR XL. As seen on broadcast the race for win did not really had any intrigue,but there were plenty of position disputes through the field,so it was deffinitelly not a boring race for many drivers.

When looking at current 2023 standings one might think R.Kardol is dominating the season,but in the 1st half of it he is still winless despite being 2nd most winningest driver in RTFR XL history. The race this week finally ended his dry streak - qualifying was very close,but still brough the dutchmen his 9th pole position in RTFR XL,while in the race his opponents made their own lives difficult and left R.Kardol lead 27 laps on his way to the 1st victory lane visit of this year. In total it is his 11th RTFR XL race win,with this tying his teammate Botsi for most all time wins,while his 12th fastest lap of the race just extended his lead in the chart,just like his 40th top5 finish. Trespasser qualified just 0.12 seconds off polesitters time,still it was just 4th position on grid,but the lithuanian upgraded it to 2nd place finish in his 1st RTFR XL race. Unite started 3rd and finished 3rd with his early pitstop strategy,scoring his 21st top5 finish. Ayoub Maroc led 11 laps on the pitstops shuffle increasing his total to 15 in RTFR XL,but finished just 4th to score 4th top5 finish,5th was another B2R member - Twincam repeated his best RTFR XL finishing result,doubling his top5 count.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
It is the 2nd 2-race winning streak with a specific car for R.Kardol,the other one is also with one of the LRF class cars - LX6. Both of these streaks are still alive and have a potential to tie or even beat Botsi's 3-race winning streak he achieved with UF1,which was ended by R.Kardol (Botsi finished 5th in the race that ended his streak).

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
With normal consumption this race required around 108% of a fuel tank,meaning it's not possible to complete the race without additional resources,still there was a single driver,who finished full race distance without pitwork running the race in eco-mode - that alone makes him clock pitter of the race as Michal just stopped in pits for 10.18 seconds. There was one shorter legal pitstop - 10.13 seconds,but S.Martin did refuel the car.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Three kids in trenchcoat started the race from 19th position,but were classified 10th in results - that's a progress of 9 positions,highest number between all in the results.
