Changed 3rd driver

600 horsepower single seater in relativelly narrow track alone is a difficult task,but if the narrow track features tight turns,that will challenge the racers to their limits - controlling the power on slow turns,having the car fast on the 2 straights,each one kilometer long,will be the key to high positions this sunday. The track is brand new and created just before the season,so everyone will have same point to start from in terms of track experience - who will be able to adapt quicker?

After 1st round the standings leader is the winner of the 1st race,but with 4 rounds still to come,we have nothing but some potential trends of the season,however everyone is still eligible for the glory - even racers joining the season just now as the disadvantage of not having any points yet is very possible to overcome. Will any of the previous champions and other skilled drivers take the challenge and join series?

Last edited by Eclipsed, Sat 23 Sep 2023, 19:34. Reason : Changed 3rd driver of LMP

After the low activity of the vacation month,september race brought once again over 20 drivers to RandomCar racing as the series start to heat up - after this round only the season finale is left. This week we were racing in Kyoto's non-standard configuration known under the name North,where from our side the straights were slightly extended adding hairpins on both ends of start/finish straight (flat out curve). A total of 17 different cars were represented making the field very variating.

8 rounds of the series brought 8 different winners from 7 different countries,this trend was bound to end at some point for sure,but besides the repeated winner,we have also the 1st winning streak of a driver - the winner of round 8 Thehemuli found himself on front of the field also in round 9,however this time he did not led the whole race,just the latest 4 laps after progressing through field from the 7th place on grid. He scored the 1st ever win for the rear wheel driven compact car Talot Suns Lomis. R.Kardol got drawn his winning car of round 7 MZG Sedan and set the sights on himself as potential 1st multiple winner of the league,but after leading 12 laps,he had to give up the lead to to charging finn,so all he could do is to defend the 2nd place finisher award,setting also the fastest lap of the race. Arska qualified first and scored the 1st ever pole position for himself,his team and also for the LFS's home grown XRT,but lost race lead already entering turn one,eventually losing another position to finish 3rd,scoring 2nd podium finish for himself and highest ever finishing position for XRT.

With a single round left ahead,the championship standings are as heated up as you can - the season finale with 1 hour race will score double points for finishing positions,so in theory the top10 drivers in standings are still eligible for drivers championship title,however the 56 points from a single round are possible from practically full grid. Realistically the title chances have 4 best drivers with another 2 being long range outsiders - Nosle has taken over the standings lead with his 5th place finish this week and his 7 points lead means that 2nd place finish or even a win in final round would grant him the title without the need to calculate points of competition. There are 2 drivers with 7 points gap to standings leader - R.Kardol,who is 2nd due tiebreaker over RD2,the absent V.Lagooga is 9 points off the lead. The winner of latest 2 rounds Thehemuli is the better of the 2 outsiders as he's with 20 points deficit.

Also teams championship is heated up - now just 2 points seperate the leaders S1dus from closest rivals RGA. B2R have lost even more ground and with 31 points gap their chances are still there,but rather unrealistic. In theory another 2 teams are eligible to win the title,however both finnish based teams will have to battle between each other for 4th position - Zafiralis is a single point ahead of WCL. With lower activity of lithuanian drivers,the country has now lost the lead in nations championship for the first time and are 17 points behind the new leader Finland - with the double points scoring round ahead Lithuania's chances are still good,but they need to overperform quite a lot. No other country has even theoretical chances for the title,so the intrigue for them is left only in battle for 3rd position,currently taken by driver's standings leader's country Luxembourg. Also manufacturers championship will be settled in final round - the early season dominator URC1 has scored only 22 points in last 4 rounds,so it's lead is just a slim 4 points over Tasl,Imprezzive is just another point apart. A total of 6 cars are still eligible for the award,however the FXO in 4th position with 26 points deficit is already quite an outsider.

The draw happened to spread out well for this round - just 5 of 26 cars were not drawn while FZ5 and XM-5 were the most popular getting just 3 drivers each. Imprezzive is still randomresult's favourite - it has been drawn 29 times this season,4 of those fell for T.Soini,who is the 1st and currently only driver to get same car for 4 rounds - will the final round make it 50%?

Season finale will be carried out in Westhill - for the 2nd race in row it will be a custom configuration carrying the word "North" in it (coincidentally selected by a driver from nordic country). It's a 6.16 kilometer course,partially running in Westhill's 2 backstraights and the connecting turns,before exiting the big racetrack for support roads section,which with it's high speed bends will stress drivers to the maximum. As announced,the season finale will be a 1 hour timed race without planned specific lapcount,however results of 129th RTFR suggest it will be a 24 laps race unless someone is fast enough to break the 2:30 mark for majority of the race - the best time with unrestricted FXO was 2:29.64,while the cars in series are balanced around FXO with 14hp less power.

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


From old classic with new twist RTFR this week went to new classic with same old LFS's base car - the 140 horsepower XRG was run in the 1st high quality racetrack of LFS. As always the relativelly slow car on decently fast track produced some pack racing,creating plenty of action on track as you can see on the broadcast recording. This race brought an end to a single driver domination,which lasted actually whole RTFR 2023 season 2 - after 4 races there are now 2 different race winners.

The honors were taken by the GTi car specialist Mantas,who was fastest whole day long - first he scored his first ever pole position in RTFR (he has already 3 of those in the longer version RTFR XL however),even if with smaller gap than in qualifying,in the race he also set the fastest lap of the race,which is also his first ever in RTFR,and after leading all 16 laps the lithuanian crossed the finish line to score his 2nd RTFR race win,becoming the 43rd driver with multiple race wins in the series,additionally rounding up his top5 count to 10. The owner of the alive 3 races winning streak Gábor could only follow the race leader and hope for some luck to keep the winning streak alive,but after 16 laps chase he saw his streak end with his own eyes from 7 seconds worth of distance,the 2nd place finish is the hungarian's 51st top5 finish. Despite trying hard in early race phase,Unite could not find way pass his teammate and eventually lost some ground to him,3rd place finish for the finn is his 73rd top5 finish. Ric98 is the highest finisher between those who changed position between start and finish - with a gain of 1 position the brazilian finished 4th to score his best ever result in RTFR,3rd top5 finish for him. Twincam gained even more positions to finish 5th,which is his 4th top5 finish - this made yet another 5 nations top5,which is becoming a trend latelly.

VOD at Youtube:


Next up in RTFR action schedule is practice session for next RTFR XL - the server has been set up with combo of next RTFR XL (actual race will be run in 3 weeks). As always a combo that does not have an official WR has to be run to find out best possible laptime for distance calculation - please join RTFR server (join link in opening post of the thread) and try your best effort of PROTOTYPE 2 @ KY GP Long,the good news is that Airio's !top command works with this car. Next week in RTFR server there will be no RTFR race,but a race of the other tuesday series - RandomCar will host it's penultimate round of the season,run in Kyoto's North Hairpins configuration. In 2 weeks RTFR will be run with one of the slick tyre cars,which and where can be found out if you pay attention watching the broadcast recording.

PENALTIES:

[MRc] Zesty - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.

- - - - - - - - - -

The 9th season started with a bang at the Aston - this round counted a total of 16 competitors,which is actually a new attendance record of the turbo era,as last season's highest attendance was only 14. However one of the drivers did not start,3 others retired before completing points scoring distance,leaving the finishers count to 12 - all of them finished full race distance as the long lap helped to avoid being lapped. Without a single previous series champion being signed up,the race for high positions was a mix of league's experienced drivers and rookies with experience elsewhere.

2 rookies took top 2 positions - the winner of RandomCar inaugural race celebrated victory also in the season opener of VERL 2023. The bulgarian RD2 started the race from outside of front row,took over race lead before entering turn 1 and led the whole 23 laps race,leaving a safe 11 seconds gap over competition in the finish. M.Túlio qualified just 5th,but during race found way pass plenty of competitors to finish 2nd,setting a new lap record in the final lap of the race to score the bonus point for fastest lap. Last season's 3rd best racer Thehemuli continued his series journey with a 3rd place finish in 1st race of his 3rd season. The series 1st leader this season was Zesty,who scored 1st point in qualifying by setting best laptime in session,but his race was plagued by multiple incidents which pushed him down the order to finish 6th.


Standings order after 1st race of course is same as finishing order of the race,RD2 currently leads standings by 2 points over M.Túlio,Thehemuli is 3rd with 6 points gap to leader. Since the series is led by 2 rookies,the standings of the rookie competition is also similar,just 3rd position is different - Sixmoon is there with 8 points gap to leader.

2nd best team of last year takes the lead in teams championship after the 1st round - Zafiralis has a very slim lead of 1 point over Master Race car,Roda Presa is 3rd with 9 points gap,just like the defending champions RGA. Brazil has been present in series in many seasons,but without particular success - their best result was 7th in 2019,when they scored 25 points,this season the south americans started with huge step up by scoring 30 points in 1st round alone and leads the nations standings by 9 points over defending champions Finland. Bulgaria is 3rd another one point back due sole effort of the race winner.

If round 1 track was new to series,it was still well known track for LFS racers in general,however something brand new is set up for 2nd round of the season - the 3.2 kilometer FoRGE Viaduct 8 is set up in our newest environment Layout Square. The track consists of 2 straights,each a kilometer long and series of quite slow corners,forcing the drivers hold back the full throttle usage. Finding the most speed through slow sections without sacrificing top speed in straights should be the key for success in round 2.

Formatting PC cannot affect your licence status,so the problem must be somewhere else. I've seen multiple times people complaining about lost licence status,which eventually turned out to be a mistake - they simply logged in their 2nd account,do you have multiple accounts? The account you posted from has no online activity at all.

The winner of latest voting adds the 5th mid-engined rear wheel driven car to the lineup,which a car with the oldest heritage in racing,hailing from the 60ies - FRAUD 040. Besides the Coquette,it's the 2nd car with a V8 engine,even if it's the street legal version of the LeMans legend,it still has quite wide rear tyres,so with 210 horsepower it should not struggle for traction too much. The car starts the journey in RandomCar with 19% air restriction coupled with max possible 180kg added weight.

This is the last new car for this season - next voting will be held in the intermission between seasons!

JOOS messages are from LFS server,Airio has nothing to do with those.

The 2nd season with a new car is set to start on the coming sunday and the selected track is the longest in VERL history - the 8.8 kilometer long Aston Grand Prix configuration has something from everything as it features long straights,fast sweeping turns,quick bends and slow hairpins. Since the car has been changed compared to last year,setups most likelly have to be adapted or even created from scratch. Less power and a bit more aerodynamics effect should help to handle the car,however the 600 horsepower will make the racing at limit still very challenging.

Currently signups list is quite short and does not include any of previous champions,so let's hope people will stop playing the waiting game and sign up at first chance - this is a series where everyone can prove their skills driving a very challenging car.

For the 2nd time in RTFR XL history a car track combo was repeated - 51st RTFR XL combo was a repeat of 19th (XRR at AS5),this week it was a repeat of 41st RTFR XL. Of course it draws the wish to compare results - winner of previous race required more than 2 minutes longer to complete the same distance,however he required an extra pitstop back then and the competition was quite lower - all 5 finishers on lead lap this week completed the distance faster than winner of previous race. Another improvement is attendance and finishing percentage - total attendance improved by 7 and all 18 starters completed the 50% distance requirement to be scored in results.

What was missing again was intrigue for race win - just like in previous 4 RTFR races (both normal and XL),Gábor was the one running ahead without much competition and started also in RTFR XL a winning streak,which is his 2nd one in this series. With this he added the 8th in all 3 important chart columns - wins,pole positions and fastest laps of the race,while the top5 finish was his 16th. Despite his teammate winning more than a half of year's races,the leader of standings is R.Kardol - and he scored yet another big bunch of points by finishing 2nd,making another big step towards securing the win in standings. With more than 1 minute gap in finish came "best of the rest" - he had his best ever RTFR XL event this week as 3rd place finish is 1 position better than his previous only other top5 finish while 3rd place in qualifying is 5 positions better than previous best. Unite finished 4th to make 3 of his team between best 4 and to score his 22nd top5 finish,but Ayoub Maroc finished 5th to make 5 different nations in top5,scoring his 5th top5 finish.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Despite being selected for the 5th time (2nd highest number),FO8 still struggles to gain attendance popularity - even with higher attendance than it's own average,the car still stays in 26th position in most attended cars chart,there are a total of 28 cars in this chart.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Last time in same combo all drivers changed tyres,so it was expected most doing it again. 2 however finished the race without tyre change - Thehemuli was one of them and clocked the shortest pitstop time by just refuelling the car.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Thehemuli topped also the highest climber chart by advancing 9 positions during the race to finish just outside top5.

VOD at Youtube:


The V8 Racing League week was opened early - on the tuesday the RTFR XL run the old VERL car,but on sunday the new one will also have it's turn,running a big part of the same track as on tuesday,VERL will start it's 9th season with it's first ever race at Aston's longest configuration. If you're interested in the challenge the 600 horsepower car offers,make sure not to miss the action - full information and signups in V8 Racing League forum section! Next week in normal RTFR there will be a relativelly simple road car on the menu,full information will be posted on the weekend,while the RTFR server will be used for other series in 2 weeks time - the colorful field of RandomCar will be run on a custom configuration in Kyoto. The honors of selecting next combo for RTFR XL went as low as for 3rd place finisher as top2 both have already reached the 3 selections per year limit,he however has not submitted his choice yet.

Quote from fastranker1 :

What about the Scirocco? Will we get this in the next updates?

The latest info is that it will be included as S1 content after new tyres physics release. Haven't seen any info that this plan would be changed. Still I don't get the big interest about it as there are a lot of better cars in the mods list already.

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).
