2 updates have been done regarding cars balancing between 2025 series rounds 5 and 6:

FRAUD WHEELER E2 - in good hands this car leaves the oposition stunned and fight only for 2nd position,so it must be slowed down a bit. The mid-engined AWD coupe will receive an additional 1% of restiction to reach a total of 13%.

URC1 - after the performance influencing update the best car of 2023 hasn't actually been used much and latelly it also lacked the performance,so it has been decided to remove 10kg of weight to help a little. The new balancing for it is 50% restrictor +170kg added weight.

This is a car racing simulator in which bikes simply happen to work due sim's physics,especially after some improvements over a year ago. Since there is not a single bike in official content list,I doubt improvements of bikes will be high in priorities list,there are already plenty of started improvements that would be useful to finish and release before diving into bike rider realistic movement/behaviour.

Will SOME Mods Have Leaderboards??

This is the closest thing to leaderboards - results of an organized race: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2119738#post2119738 (with this specific car in South City Town Course). At least you have some idea where are you in terms of pace...

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


The oldest car in RTFR history was run in the oldest track of LFS history - the track where "it all" started. 110 horsepower is not a lot these days,especially from an 8-cylinder 5+ liter engine,but if car has skinny tyres,only open differential and rather high weight center,it turned out to be quite a challenge. 25 drivers qualified for this race,one less started and at the end we had an unnatural finishers count for this era of racing - 62.5% of drivers crossed the finish line,just over half of the starters completed full race distance.

Even if technically this is 2 wins in row,it won't really go into history books - just a week after celebrating his 1st race win in RTFR XL,Trespasser joined also winners club of normal RTFR. The lithuanian was pretty much unchallenged this tuesday - he scored his 1st RTFR pole position in qualifying (just a position better than 4 races ago),led almost every single meter of the race to finish as winner with 6 seconds advantage over closest competitor. Trespasser is the 82nd race winner in RTFR history,3rd new one in past 2 months,he also scored a fastest lap of the race for the first time and his 3rd top5 finish. Just like race winner,also 2nd place finisher TJ set a laptime in race that was quicker than best laptime in qualifying session - the brazilian was able to improve himself from 5th position on grid to 2nd place in race finish,which is his 16th top5 finish. Michal followed the 2nd place finisher and also upgraded his grid position by 3 positions in race finish to repeat his best RTFR race result - 3rd position,which is his 14th top5 finish,2nd in past 3 races. S.Martin obviously found his best car as he improved his best results massivelly - the 2nd place in qualifying was 12 positions better and 4th place finish was 4 positions better than his results in previous 34 attended RTFR races. Top5 was closed by one of the newest additions to winners club - Adam made 4 positions progress to finish 5th and score his 9th top5 finish.


In 2 weeks another non-championship RTFR race will take place and there are no other infos about combo besides the usual switch to slick tyres,so you have to wait for announcement in weekend before the race. However next week it's time for RandomCar - round 6 of 2025 series will take place on a layout inspired by a brazilian circuit,carrying also it's name - Interlagos,which in this version is just under 4 kilometers long. Also information about next RTFR XL is already available - the 103rd RTFR XL will take place in a custom configuration in Fern Bay,which is somewhat reconfigured version of FE Black,run with LX4.

The 7th year featuring seasonal competition with it's own standings is also divided into 2 seasons from which the 1st one was concluded more than week ago,now it's time to review it. In the 12 rounds a total of 90 drivers were able to score at least a point towards standings,22 of them by finishing in top5 in at least 1 race,6 were able to reach the victory lane. The attendance ranged from 40 in round with a JGTC car to 24,which happened twice,both times with default LFS cars. The average of 31.4 drivers per race is still significantly higher than all time average and 3 more than in previous season (2024 S2) - as always greatly boosted by both WCL sponsorship and SB.tv broadcasting promotion.


RTFR 2025 Season 1 standings winner: S1DUS*GáboR
The hungarian driver has been very active and successful recently in both RTFR event types,the win in 2025 S1 standings was secured before last race,however undoubted few rounds earlier. Gábor won half of the 12 season's races,finishing in podium positions in 1/3 of season's races,failing to score top5 finish just in the only oval round. Additionally he set fastest lap in 8 qualifying sessions and 6 race sessions,reaching top of the all time most laps led chart during this season. It's the 5th season standings win for Gábor,first since 2023 season 2 - he finished 2nd in previous standings.

Just like in season 1 of last year,2nd place is taken by 2021 standings winner R.Kardol,who chased his teammate through the season and with 3 rounds left had at least some chances alive,however did not attend 10th round and effectivelly signed off from chances for his 2nd success. The dutchman won 2 races and finished in top5 in another 7,adding pole position and 2 fastest laps to his achievements,securing 2nd place with 1 round left. The bottom step of season standings podium is taken by Suforr,who added himself to RTFR winners club in 10th round of this season,scoring another 4 podium finishes - big improvement for the spaniard compared to 15th position in last season's standings.

The defending standings winner did not show much activity in this season - A.Valta attended just a single round,was the fastest in qualifying in it,but got involved in incident early on 1st lap. The sole pole position effort brought him to 69th position in standings. 3 other drivers were able to win a race this season,one of them for the first time - Lagooga won round 6,joining the 10 race winners club,Jorpa won round 7 to score his 2nd RTFR race win and scottsman Adam,who scored 2nd RTFR race win for his country,coincidentally on same track configuration the first one was done.




On coming tuesday the RTFR race will be the 1st of 3 off season races before the 10 rounds long season 2 starts on 5th august. Half of the RTFR XL 2025 season has also been completed - also there is starts to look quite a one-sided affair,but with 6 long rounds till ahead everything is far away to be decided.

* PENALTIES :
[MVR] J.Martins - receives 25.43 seconds penalty added to his finish time for minimum pit time violation.

- - - - - - - - - -

After just 6 races break,the LFS slowest standard car returned to RTFR XL,this time in one of the longest tracks of LFS - Aston Historic,which made it's return after just 2 races break. This combo resulted in laptimes over 3 and a half minutes,despite having not much sections where drivers could not simply drive flat out,it wasn't very popular - 25 drivers qualified for the race (few more attempted),grid had only 23 drivers from which 6 retired before at least reaching half of the distance - 17 finishers is still the 2nd highest count in the past 5 races.

The last year in RTFR XL had 4 different winners - 3 single race winners and one repeating name filling rest of the entries,this race produced the 5th different driver in victory lane in past 13 races and 33rd overall. A lithuanian driver trespassed the domain of usual winner by beating him in qualifying to score his 1st pole position and despite slow start and few direct battles on track,beat the hungarian also for race win,to add also his name in RTFR XL winners club. This was also Trespasser's 3rd top5 finish out of 3 race starts. The usual winner Gábor had to concede this time and settle for 2nd place finish,scoring his 28th top5 finish. TJ turned out to be the only driver to beat 3:37 laptime mark - that happened during late phase of the race,scoring the first ever fastest lap of the race for all the brazilian drivers,but single lap pace was not enough for anything higher that 3rd place finish,which is his 4th top5 finish and 10th for brazilians. If 3rd place finisher gained a position during race,4th place finisher lost it - Unite finished 4th to score his 32nd top5 finish,tying the organizer for all time 2nd most. The only driver to not lead a lap between top5 finishers was Michal,who also gained a single position during the race,scoring his 9th top5 finish.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Such low lapcount races in RTFR XL is actually quite rare - this race with it's 21 laps race distance was the 2nd lowest lapcount in the RTFR XL history. The lowest still is the LX4 race in over 10km long Schwarzwald custom track,which produced laptimes over 5 minutes.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
This car needed less than 40% of car's fuel tank to complete the race,which is just 10kg of weight,which meant many drivers opted for work free pitstop. Best of them was S.Martin,who had a 10.21 seconds long pitstop right after completing 2/3 of the race.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
This was only the 2nd RTFR XL race for R.Guy and he managed to draw attention to himself already - he started 21st and finished 13th (just repeating the result of previous race),gaining a total of 8 positions between start and finish - 2 more than 2nd best positions gainer.

VOD at Youtube:


In 4 weeks next RTFR XL will take place,however currently it's unknown where and with what car - the brand new race winner still has to submit his decision. Next week normal RTFR will return in a bit more casual atmosphere - it will be the 1st of 3 off season events,so we might try to test some less popular cars or even try more different tracks,info about that as always will be posted during the weekend.

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).

Last race won by: S1DUS*GáboR - 2 wins in row
Last UF1 race won by: S1DUS*GáboR - 2 wins in row (95th RTFR XL - SO Classic Rev.)

Quote from WCL J.A.Katila via RGA discord :

Session: 360th RTFR - Race
Lap/MPR time: Lap 3 - 4:41.80->
Involved drivers: jourdan serderidis, [WCL]J.A.Katila, [MRc]Michal
Description of incident: In latter section of the circuit 4 racers are accelerating after tight right hander towards chicane. Jourdan serderidis hits to [WCL]J.A.Katila right backside causing further hit to [MRc]Michal and eventually spinning [WCL]J.A.Katila to a wall. Jourdans hit is not too hard but avoidable.

After exiting Tarzan hairpin,J.A.Katila follows the usual race line (from left to right across track) and Jourdan Serderidis just a bit behind keeps the car parallel to racetrack sidelines - until they meet and contact happens. This was an avoidable incident,however avoidable from both sides - J.A.Katila should have been aware of car beside him,Jourdan Serderidis could move rightwards. This is deemed to be a racing incident.

This is actually one of few real life combos possible in LFS - the entry level Formula BMW FB02 in now defunct Rockingham Motor Speedway,which was the car's 2nd ever visit to this environment,this time running in 3.25 kilometer ISSC Long configuration. Despite lack of the cirtual camera crews around the circuit,taking care of event promotion,this race still gathered 29 drivers in qualifying and all of them also started the race - even if this is more then all time average attendance,it was still the least attended FBM RTFR race from the latest 5 with this car.

Regarding top of the field,this was just a confirmation round to rest of the season - Gábor was already announced as season standings winner before last round of it,but he continued where he left of - winning yet another race after leading all laps,which is his 6th win in 12 season rounds and 44th in total and 50th race win for Hungary. Just by a 1/50th of a second the hungarian scored also his 43rd pole position and by setting a new server laptime record - also his 41st fastest lap of the race,adding also 82nd top5 finish to his stats. His well known rival TJ had to start from outside of 2nd row,but he found way to pass 2 cars and finish 2nd almost 4 seconds off race winner,scoring his 15th top5 finish. After missing 19 RTFR races,Mandula finally marked the milestone of starting his 100th RTFR race and celebrated it with 3rd position in both sessions (repeat of best qualifying result),scoring his 23rd top5 finish from 95 total finishes. The 2nd best driver of the season R.Kardol could not find common language with this car for high results,still gained 4 positions during the race to finish 4th and score his 106th top5 finish,soon in finish followed by J.Katila in 5th,to score his 27th top5 finish.


With this the 2025 Season 1 of RTFR is concluded and next 3 normal RTFR races will be just like in old times - just for fun and pride,starting in 2 weeks with one of the road tire cars. Season 2 with standings and broadcast will start on 5th august and will feature 10 rounds until early december. But racing for positions in season standings and action live broadcasting continues in RTFR XL and that's already next tuesday. The June round will take place in one of the faster racetracks with the slowest standard LFS car - full information will be posted later this evening.

Round 5 marked the end of 1st half of the 2025 season and just like 2 years ago it was held in Aston's North configuration. Back then the midengined version of XF was the car to beat as 2 drivers took best 2 positions in both sessions with that car,however no driver received that car this time,so a different midengined car took over the glory. A total of 48 drivers were in the draw list,however just 21 actually attended,marking the lowest attendance of the season. One driver left before the race start,leaving 20 cars on grid - despite 2 retirements,all 20 were classified as finished as all completed half of the race.

A driver with 1 win received a car with 2 wins - that combination led as expected to a common win. The brazilian driver TJ was pretty much unchallenged this tuesday with his Fraud Wheeler - he was more than a second per lap quicker in both sessions,just the first lap of the race was not led by him - he finished the race with 13 seconds gap over competition. Also standings leader received a winning car - he won opening round of this season with the Nortz,but in this round wasn't on the level to challenge for a race win,however still was able to progress from 5th position on grid to 2nd place finish. Also 3rd place finisher made lots of positions during the race - Madjester qualified just 10th and raced his Piran Firefly up to 3rd place in the finish results.


Standings leader finished 2nd and with it increased his lead in championship,however his main rival finished just 2 positions lower,so the gain of 2 points is currently not very decisive - R.Kardol has now 16 points advantage over Thehemuli,the new 3rd place holder is Unite who is 27 points away from top of the table.

Standings leaders S1dus increasing lead is the only change at the top of teams championship table - table positions from 2nd to 4th all scored 24 points in this round,keeping status quo between themselves. Defending champions B2R in 2nd position is now 26 points behind leaders,followed by RGA in 3rd another 17 points apart. Also in nations standings the leaders scored most points - the defending 2-time champions Finland increased their advantage over competition to 57 points,the new 2nd position in table is Lithuania,which pushed previous 2nd position Netherlands to 3rd. XRT keeps the lead in table and also have now 4 scores - increase of the total score is now possible by improving the currently lowest points score (4 best scores count towards season total),Fraud Wheeler jumped to 2nd position thanks to the race win and is now 15 points behind leading car,Nortz is the new 3rd position with 23 points deficite to leader despite having just 3 scores.


The draw results were rather spread out this time - a total of 33 cars were drawn for this round with only 2 cars receiving more than 2 draws (Firefly - 4 draws,XF Garis - 3),however with the low activity,only 18 different cars were used in the round with 14 different cars finishing in top15.
4 cars had their best results improved in this round. Unite draw a rather rarely used car - Fraud 040's previous best results have been set by 2 different drivers (J.A.Katila qualified 13th and Madjester finished 10th),now these have been united under 1 name as the finn qualified 4th and finished 5th. Similar situation was with Dorito FD - Arska's 10th in qualifying and Lorenzo's 12th in race are now beaten by Loco,who qualified 2nd and finished 7th. Lorenzo loses another top entry - his VSI-V2000 results (qualifying 16th and race 12th) were beaten by Hachiroku who was 9th in both sessions in this round. Trespasser in 3rd position was able to improve XF Garis' best qualifying result by a position,beating his countryman M,adding also 1st ever race lead lap with the car.


The 2nd half of the season will start in Brazil - sort of,the winner of the latest race selected a track which is recreation of his home country's well known racetrack Interlagos,set up in LFS's flat layout square. The track is yet to be tested for laptime and distance,so race distance is yet to be decided,but it will surely be brand new challenge for the PL200 class cars.

In the 6th edition of this annual semi-endurance race we decided to regress back to 300 kilometers distance to open up the chances of finishing the race alone - a total of 13 entries crossed the finish line after chequered flag was displayed,11 of them on the lead lap,thus completing the full 17 laps race distance. There were a total of 20 signups,however 2 entries did not show up for qualifying,silently withdrawing from the race. From 18 qualifyers,2 withdrew due technical issues,while other 3 were striked by connection problems during the race - well,even simracing is a technical sport after all.

11 different cars were selected for this race and for the first time one of the entries selected a challenger car,however the variety of car selection was very limited - 12 of 20 entries selected one of 3 popular cars,while all 8 of others selected unique cars,Piran Firefly being the most popular car with 5 entries. For the first time of event history,none of the original LFS cars reached the podium,however one of the derivatives of a standard LFS car took both top steps of it,keeping the legacy alive.

Another legacy kept alive with this edition is the one from Born 2 Race team - for the 3rd year in row one of their entries finished as winner of the race. The 2023 race winner and 2024 3rd place finisher Twincam (both times with RB4) selected the XF Coupe Turbo for this edition and qualified 2nd for this race. After chasing his teammate with same car model for 4 laps,he took over the race lead in lap 5 and never let it go. After over 3 hours of exhausting racing the irishman finished 1st to become the first ever 2-time winner of this annual race,scoring also 3rd podium finish out of 3 starts.

Rest of the podium have some things common with the race winner - both are from same team and both were running the front wheel drive cars (one of them even same model) and both opted to complete the mandatory pitstop not far away from midpoint of the race. 2nd place finisher 136 had already 300 kilometers experience with the XF Coupe,however opted for tuned UF1 for last year's 400 kilometers edition,but returned to XF this year and reached his best finishing result,beating previous best from 2023 by 3 positions. He was the fastest in qualifying and found another half a second better laptime in race,but lacked the overall race pace and finished 12 seconds behind race winner despite leading first 4 laps. Stiefla made his event debut last year with completelly different car,finishing just 10th,however this year he opted for light weight FWD car Faith Sport he applied himself and brought him to 3rd position in both sessions,finishing just over half a minute behind race winner.


Let's see what next year brings - one new section has been sighted as possible extention once again,however the extention in track lenght might be not so big as it would replace another rather unfavourable section,but still we would like to keep the challenge of difficult and long track alive as it is still one of the main objectives for this event,so cutting track shorter is not in plans. In terms of race distance - we'll check the situation in community before deciding if we progress with 400 or even 500 kilometers or keep with the single driver favouring 300 kilometers

Race Green Events thanks all drivers for participation and guys behind the scenes for their input and efforts,especially J.Palmer from NDR for his administration and timing tools and Jam for his Carlimiter application. As always everyone is welcome to share their experience from the event,either in form of text,pictures or videos! Also (even if that rarely happens) - we're awaiting winner's speach!

Car redraw option:
Each driver receives one chance during the season to redraw the car that has been drawn. This option can be used only if car has been drawn during 1st wave of cars draw and the driver will be added to list of 2nd wave of cars draw. Please note that redrawing car means a 2.4% chance of drawing the same car also with 2nd try - in that case the driver has to use the drawn car and the redraw option will be reactivated for new use in future round. Option availability is marked in Drivers championship tab in spreadsheets right behind driver's name (✓ = available,x = not available). To use the option,write here a post with word "Redraw" before signups closure for round (16:30UTC)!

I'll use your username as a suggestion to you - chill bro! It's their servers (we call them servers and not rooms) and in theory they can do it with it what they want to,even ban you for winning if they're such bad losers. Best advice - remember the server and it's admins and don't join them anymore,there are few other options in demo servers list,some say MRc and AA servers usually are well admined. Also consider upgrading licence and join organized events - admins of those wont risk their reputation by banning people for being faster in fair way.

Quote from MandulAA :

this has nothing to do with LFS in general

...and neither with technical assistance.

There are 2 cars receiving balancing updates before round 5 of 2025 season:

BAVARIA A34 N POWER is kinda on par in terms of hotlap pace,however it's a bit heavy on tyres during the race,so it will get more power freed up to catch up on straigths - losing 1% restrictor it results of 3% intake restriction.

ROKU TROENO struggles to keep up with other cars on straights,so it will lose a bit of the added weight to help with acceleration - new requirement is 70kg weight ballast.

(Note - some cars were updated and announced,but forgotten to update here in the main info post. In case of any doubts,the spreadsheet with cars list is always up to date!)

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


LFS GTi class cars usually are pretty much a crowdpleaser - easy to drive,low speeds,direct competition. The midengined XR version made very similar to a japanese sports car from 80ies is right on the same pace as both XFG and XRG,however with it's a bit specific handling it was not too atractive to big crowds - 28 drivers qualified,just 25 of them started,which is way below average attendance of 35 drivers in the 7 latest XFG/XRG races. Still it was quite classic racing of the class - plenty of group racing,position shuffles and last few laps battle for race win.

After 2 new drivers being added to the RTFR winners club,this race returned to old habbits - same driver as many times before topped both qualifying and race results tables,however the win did not come easy. Gábor set the fastest time in qualifying very late to score his 42nd pole position,coincidentally in race it was the same - he was passed on lap one,fell even down to 5th position shortly,but fought back up the order to take over the race lead on last lap,finishing the race as winner with just a single lead lap - 43rd race win goes into hungarian's accomplishments account together with 81st top5 finish. R.Kardol qualified just 4th,got promoted to 3rd on grid due one driver ahead not starting and promoted himself to race lead entering last turn - the dutchman led 23 laps of the race,losing lead only on last lap to finish as runner up with less than half a second behind winner,scoring his 105th top5 finish. On lap 19th Unite set a laptime that was not beaten later in race,scoring his 28th fastest lap,tying Botsi for all time 2nd most fastest laps,but the single lap pace was not enough to contend for higher than 3rd position he finished in,scoring his 96th top5 finish. 2 weeks after his 1st RTFR race win,Suforr posed his sights on another one,repeating his best qualifying effort for this race,however could not keep up with leaders and dropped down to 4th position,scoring his 8th top5 finish. Top5 was closed by Michal,who scored his 13th top5 finish,first since 313th RTFR which he also finished in 5th position.

RandomCar will take over the RTFR server for next tuesday - it's round 5 will take place in Aston's North configuration,make sure not to miss out,signups are still open. RTFR in 2 weeks will end it's 1st scored season of 2025,however any intrigue for season winner is gone for a while,so it's just for individual pride moments,run with one of the slick tyre cars again.
