You can't! Airio is outdated and does not work with most mods. There are several mods with which you can use !top command when you have joined track with specific car - works however with single car only. Only command that works is !tm which shows best times of currently connected users - however I'm not sure if it supports multiple cars.

4th season of the turbo era brings a car with reduced power to increase drivability - losing 100 horsepower and even more torque,the new 2.2 liter engine should be much more tame for untrained throttle foot. Containa Grand Prix of Blackwood has been moved from the tricky,dusty and bumpy Container sprint track to more standard Grand Prix track - 2 long straights,a hairpin,a chicane and turns rich 2nd half of track describes the 3.3km LFS classic,lappable in just over 1 minute.

Activity in singups thread currently is low - we can only try to imagine who will actually set the tone in this season,but when the waiting game stops,we'll know much better the favourites of becoming 2025 V8 Racing League season - will it be another new name or 2nd repeated champion?

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


3rd licenced real world car in RTFR was another Škoda,but a very different one - a car that is actually unique as it has been built only in 1 piece. But the benefit of virtual world is the ability of multiplying unique cars,so we had a total of 23 Ferat Vampire RSRs,22 from them were lined up on grid and ready to tackle the 13 laps race. Being a bit slower than LFS's GTi class cars it should have been a crowd pleaser,but with it's tricky handling and skinny tyres it seems to have scared away many drivers,or maybe at fault are the rumours about car's alternative fuel system?

Driver of the day was Trespasser,who was fastest whole evening long,including pre-race practice - his previous event domination happened with other and even older car with specific handling. His fastest laps of both sessions had just 1/100 of a second difference as the lithuanian scored his 2nd pole position and fastest lap of the race before scoring also his 2nd RTFR race win and 5th top5 finish. The number 2 of the day was Twincam,who repeated his best qualifying result with the 2nd best laptime of the session,while keeping the position also through the race to finish 2nd led him to new best finishing result - improving his previous best by 1 position and adding 9th top5 finish to his stats. Also 3rd place finisher achieved a very noticable result - the position itself was not a big achievement for the 13-time race winner Unite,however it was his 100th top5 finish from 156 total race finishes - the finn is only the 2nd driver achieving the century of top5 finishes. Gábor however did not care about making more historic achievements - having active 3 race winning streak,he did not put any effort in qualifying by setting the slowest laptime,so 4th win in row was out of reach and the hungarian finished just 4th to score his 86th top5 finish. Top5 was closed by creator of this car mod and obviously big fan of the car itself - Michal qualified 4th,but dropped a position during the race,ending his 2 race 4th place finishing streak,but extended top5 finishing streak to 3,scoring his 17th overall top5 finish.

RTFR will take a break next tuesday and let the server be used for 9th round of RandomCar 2025 series,which will be held in another very fast track - cross your fingers to get a powerful car in draw. After this break RTFR will return with quite classic LFS combo,but RTFR XL in 3 weeks time will use another rather classic LFS combo with and FO8 race in Aston.

On coming tuesday we gonna make many clones of a car that exists only in a single unit,let's see if the clones will also draw some blood out of drivers... It's up to you to decide if you dare to press the throttle pedal - join to race or just follow the action via livestream,race info and links to livestream in the event's info thread: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112341-367th-RTFR

The attached RTFR promo skins are public and free for use - specially for the car out of dark realms,a darker version was created.

A reminder - server will be password protected 1 hour before qualifying start to keep not knowing crowded server jumpers out of way,pass will be always the same: green

Quote from Gutholz :

OMG there is going to be multiple moons!

Won't help much though - even the biggest at smallest distance are just small dots in the sky,so our own sattelite is the only useful decoration...

This is what you get with a 600mm lens + 2x converter + crop size sensor during opposition of Jupiter...



And since I feel obligated to say something on topic - some complain about updates coming too slow,some use the same old stuff and still able to create something new. Or race same classics with different people - either way real simracing fans still have their fun in at least weekly base.

For those who missed the livestream,here's recording of the broadcast as another showcase of the car,however the early part of the race was quite messy as some drivers wanted to win the 26 laps race before finishing 1st...

Race statistics / RTFR XL .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated during the week)

The latest RTFR XL featured the 2nd race with Prototype 2,which is now the 2nd mod car that has been selected for 2nd time in this event series. And this race set a new record in RTFR XL - the track was the longest ever in this event,previous longest was just over 100 meters shorter custom track in Blackwood. The fast car created chaotic first few laps,resulting in more car rolls than several UFR races together,but despite some complaints,noone actually bothered to report anything,so we can assume everyone settled for incidents being racing accidents. With 29 qualifyers this was the most attended round since the anniversary race almost 5 months ago,however the high attrition race resulted in 18 classified finishers,which is repeated highest since 100th RTFR XL.

Suforr set himself as main favourite for this race by setting the fastest lap in pre-race practice,also in qualifying he was the only one to beat 2 minutes 57 mark,scoring his 2nd pole position in 8 qualifying sessions. To the 10 lead laps he had from previous pole position start the spaniard added another 15 from this weeks race,however that's all of notable additions to his achievements as after mistake he did not made any effort to return to racing and retired. The road to victory lane was taken over by the only other driver who led any laps in this race - Gábor once again put himself on top of race results,scoring his 18th RTFR XL race win,adding also 18th fastest lap of the race and 29th top5 finish to his stats. The 2nd most successful racer in event's history put himself into 2nd positions also in race results - starting in low 13th position,R.Kardol raced himself up to score already 56th top5 finish,extending the all time leading count. Using his experience with the car,Jsk scored his best ever RTFR XL result this week - 3rd position is a position better than his previous best achieved twice and also his 4th top5 finish and 10th for Slovakia. The best with 2 pitstop strategy was Trespasser in 4th place,scoring his 5th top5 finish. For 3rd race in row top5 was closed by Thehemuli,who rounded his top5 count to 10.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
All time average speed of all RTFR XL races is 158km/h,however from the latest 8 races half had average speed over 200km/h with the anniversary 100th race being just below 200 - kinda shows tendency latelly having faster races (also next one is expected to exceed 200).

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
With car being able to go couple laps past half distance it was clear that everyone needed some sort of pitwork - shortest pitstops chart is led by 5 drivers who refuelled the car only,best of them was J.A.Katila with 10.97 seconds pitstop,beating organized by just 1/100 of a second.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Starting the race from the low 25th position,Kid progressed through the race 15 positions,ending up on bottom end of top10 - 3 positions better than 2nd best positions gainer in a race with 5 drivers progressing 10 or more positions.

VOD at Youtube:


Gábor unsurprisingly used his last selection of the year to pick in community well known favourite car of him - next race will feature the fastest aids free LFS standard car Formula V8,which will be raced in Aston's high speed configuration National,the race will have 49 laps. Next week normal RTFR will return with much slower street legal car,which in it's history actually never made into production - expect to see more cars than ever were made in real world. Also in 2 weeks there will be a race in Aston - RandomCar 2025 series is closing to it's end,make sure to put your name higher in standings!

Quote from AndreKoso42 :

i would recommend to post 1 or 2 skins for the car

I can offer this one - not sure if good though as it's a promotion skin of specific event series in LFS. But better than boring single color.

On coming tuesday this car will be run in all of RTFR series for the 4th time already - after running in the experimental RTFR-CCCC,it was later featured in both championship based RTFR and RTFR XL,now it will be just the second mod car that has been selected to return in RTFR XL. 26 laps around the 10+km custom configuration in Kyoto will be quite a challenge for all the drivers - join to race or just follow the action via livestream,race info and links to livestream in the event's info thread: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/112286-105th-RTFR-XL

The attached RTFR promo skin is public and free for use.

Rules:
We will not make a mile long rule book that noone will read completely anyway,so we will rely on common sence of competitors to behave and follow the basic Rules of Clean Racing. There will not be an admin in server who will specifically observe drivers' behaviour during the race,so any action will be made only after protest while all retirements will be investigated automatically. If any incidents reported/protested,we will take individual approach to each of them to decide best fair resolution or punishment if needed.

Basic guidelines as a reminder:
> Blue flag - you may not deny/block a passing manouvre of laping car and try a repass right after it. In qualification it means - stay off racing line and don't disturb drivers on hotlap.
> Shortcuts - 2 wheels on track at all times. Track is mostly marked by white lines,while also curbs count towards track. Overtaking outside track limits counts as illegal and will be penalized in case of a protest.
> Contacts - have to be avoided at all costs as always when racing open wheel cars,that includes also bumpdrafting.
> Pit exit - allthough there will be no mandatory pitstop in this league,due smaller fuel tank pitting will be needed,so pit exit lines will have to be respected - drivers may not cross the pit exit line with more than 2 wheels and have to make way for cars racing at full speed. Failing to comply with this rule will award them with 10s penalty,while causing incidents will result in bigger penalty. Pit entry lines will not be monitored,they serve just as guidelines.
> Chatting - it's not completely outruled,but still drivers are expected to concentrate on racing. In case of too much chatting while ignoring messages asking to cease chatting,a penalty may be given. In case of any abusive/offensive language a penalty will be given! Any in server present observers/spectators are not allowed to chat at all during race session!
> Lags - if there are any connection issues,driver will be asked to improve (close internet using programs). If driver will be considered as dangerous due to unstable connection and high ping,he will not be allowed to participate at the current round.
> Hacks/cheats - if used,you will not race with us. Ever. As simple as that.

Possible penalties:
> WARNING - any minor infraction that needs to be noted without penalty. Warned driver might receive bigger penalty for other infractions.
> 10s added to finish time - minor infractions,like illegal passing,pit exit line violation,too much chatting.
> 30s added to finish time - medium infractions,like causing avoidable incident[s] without serious consequences,illegal passing.
> 60s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in round 2) - medium infractions,like causing avoidable incident[s] with consequences to other drivers (like damage,multiple position loss) or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
> Disqualification for 1 or more rounds - heavy infractions,multiple incidents,unsportsmanlike behaviour. After serving disqualification,driver will automatically carry a "warning" for the rest of season.
> Series exclusion (including ban for any other events run under Race Green Events control) - serious infractions like intentional/revenge wrecking,event sabotage and any other malicious act.

Quote from racer autov8 :

assetto corsa with all its dlcs for less than 3rd of the price of LFS S3 (on sale)

They just use every chance to milk a cow they haven't been feeding for years. The "cow" of LFS is well fed though.

Quote from Byrontr :

I don't have the money to pay. We're missing out on many features.

So what you're actually suggesting - the developers of LFS should develop the sim for free? Would you work for free?

NOTE ABOUT RACE DISTANCE:
Due lack of activity in laptime testing in past for the custom combos,it has been decided to give an estimated lapcount in information. The actual lapcount will be announced after qualifying as it will be calculated using fastest laptime in qualifying (same rule as always - minumum lapcount to exceed 75 minutes).

Server will be password protected 1 hour before qualifying start to keep not knowing crowded server jumpers out of way,pass will be always the same: green

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).

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


We're slowly returning for 2nd time the most popular mod cars and this tuesday it was time for the return of the rather simple car,which pretty much could be people's car. The 180HP front wheels driven sedan with slicks and minor downforce assistance gathered up 25 drivers,which is 12 less than in 1st try,3 drivers did not take the spot on the grid,but from 22 starters just 1 decided to retire.

When looking from certain point,this race went into history as the race noone wanted to win - top3 drivers all were coasting over finish line in badly made "formation flight",destroying all the intrigue for win,even the race was pretty much decided. For the 3rd race in row Gábor put his name on top of finish results,scoring his 47th RTFR race win and starting his 4th winning streak with 3 or more race wins,additionally adding 85th top5 finish to his stats. In terms of single laptime,the fastest driver of the day was Lagooga,who during race almost repeated his track record he set in qualifying - the pole position he scored was his 20th,breaking the tie for 4th most,while the fastest lap of the race was his 9th and top5 finish - his 23rd. If both leaders split the lead laps in half between themselves,the closest follower Twincam was right behind them all the race long,but never really passed them,settling himself for 3rd place finish,which is a repeat of his best race result in the series and 8th top5 finish. At least the battle for 4th place finish was proper until the finish line - Michal was able to hold off the charging oponent and finish 4th for 2nd race in row to score his 16th top5 finish and 4th in last 8 races. Unite lost a position between start and finish and despite all tries could not regain it,so the finn settled for 5th place finish,which is his 99th - just 1 to go to become 2nd driver with 100.

VOD at Youtube:


Next tuesday we will race in same track as we did on tuesday week ago - the 10.7 kilometers long custom configuration in Kyoto,however the car will be significantly faster than RandomCar's PL200 class,as the coming race will feature the Prototype 2 for the 2nd time in RTFR XL - 2nd mod car that has been selected for RTFR XL repeatedly (first was the V8 supercar version of LFS own FXR). In 2 weeks normal RTFR will return with one of the street legal cars,more info about that in the weekend before the race.

Did not make any advertisement before the race as I had no time to update the RTFR skin,but here's the recording of livestream from the race today with this car:


As an improvement suggestion - from distance (when LOD2 is displayed) I noticed some weird black rectangle on car's rear,it seems like skin mapping to LOD2 is incorrect,might be good to fix that to keep the quality of approved mod status up.

Quote from tankslacno :

However, Rony (Eclipsed) has done an AWS 2025 race on Westhill "Dirt" oval. It doesn't have any actual mud/sand, but it's driven 100% on grass. That is probably the closest you can get of having a dirt oval. You can download it from here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/2114363#post2114363 - just download the .mpr replay, open it and save the layout in Shift+U mode.

August round marked itself in top of several charts - it featured the longest track in RandomCar history. With 10.68km the custom track in Kyoto was more than 3.5km longer than previous longest track,logically marking also the lowest lapcount in one race and since the average speed of the course was very high - it was also the longest race if not counting the 1 hour long season final races. With the race speed,this was the fastest average race speed of the season and 3rd fastest all time. Unfortunatelly this was also least attended round of the season and 3rd least attended all time.

Despite the high average speeds,the car on results top was the least powered of the cars list - the 182 horsepower Stellar was benefitting from it's low weight (just 825kg) through many fast turns and with Trespasser's guidance set the fastest laptimes in both sessions,including leading all 8 laps of the race. While closest drivers were busy with disputes who will run in what position,the lithuanian run away and started his run to his 2nd RandomCar race win. The 2nd position in season standings raced himself up to 2nd place in race results from 4th position in grid - Thehemuli scored his 1st RandomCar podium finish since the 2 wins late in inaugural season,running the only rear engined AWD car in the series for the 2nd time. Another lightweight low power car took the bottom step of the podium - Acosta Starlin was run for the 2nd time by Madjester as the portugese driver finished 3rd for the 2nd time in the season.


Without standings leader in the field,it was expected to have new leader after this round - with the 2nd place finish Thehemuli jumped into 11 points lead over closest follower TJ,who finished 5th in this round with the heavyweight Fend Torus. The unattending previous leader R.Kardol dropped down to 3rd position and is now 17 points behind leader. Since this season only best 8 points scores out of 10 rounds count towards drivers total points count - after 8 rounds all drivers with 8 scores already can only upgrade their lowest counts (double points season finale however is an almost guaranteed improvement),so both closest chasers of the leader still have good chances.

Lead change happened also in teams championship and also for the same reason - none of the Team S1dus drivers attended this round,so the defending champions Born to Race jumped into lead without very high points score from this round,taking 12 points lead in standings. RGA is still 3rd,42 points behind leaders and has 2 teams closing in for the podium. No real changes in nations championship - the defending champions lost another 3 points from their lead,but Finland has still lot of advantage to not worry about title defence as they're still 49 points ahead of Lithuania,Poland in 3rd position is now 95 points behind and effectivelly is out of title race. XRT still keeps their lead in best car award table with the 4 good scores from 1st part of the season,however it's lead is now just 6 points from the new closest chaser Acosta Starlin. Fraud Wheeler has been pushed down to 3rd and is still 14 points apart from leader.


25 different cars were drawn to 35 drivers for this round,however just under half of the drivers attended,so only 13 different cars were actually used. Most drawn was the freshest car of the series - Cammera 773,which received 3 draws for this round resulting in 4 total,having also the 1st participation in this round. Most drawn still is Acosta,receiving it's 57th all time draw,Talot with 3 less is 2nd. Another noticable fact from draw - T.Soini received URC1 for the 4th time,so he has already 2 cars received for 4 races,noone still has drew same car for more than 4 races.

With only 17 drivers attending,there are still lots of new best results for cars - 7. Most notable of course is Stellar's 1st pole position and 1st race win by Trespasser,who beat his countryman's Loco's best results with the car - 5th in qualifying,3rd in race. Also 2nd place finisher Thehemuli improved best results for the FZ70 - 4th in qualifying and 2nd in race,improving Madjester's qualifying effort by a single position,but race result of 6th position was previously shared between Madjester and Thehemuli himself. GT4tube set the initial best results of Cammera 773 - 7th in qualifying and 4th in race. TJ was 5th in both sessions with the Fend Torus,improving R.Kardol's best results of 10th position in qualifying and 11th in race. Twincam improved best results of Dash 46 - 10th in qualifying and 6th place in race,previous best results were shared by Aplazt and Jsk as both qualified the car in 14th and finished in 11th. Sobis beat previous best race result of Madjester by a single position for Bavaria A34 as he finished 10th. Also Rony improved his Poscher Caynam best result in just 1 session - he qualified 2nd,beating 5th position previously achieved by 2 finns - Unite and Arska.


Trespasser used his 2nd and last track selection for the season and selected another high speed track for 9th round - Aston Historic. Race distance is set for 11 laps,which will result in new highest race distance besides 1h season finales and race average speed once again is expected to exceed 130km/h,getting close to all time highest of 139.6km/h.
