Rockingham 150 oval race has been run twice in AWS,both times were less oval racing,more a fast road course race with 4 left turns as the RB4 tortured it's road super tyres too much. This year AWS will introduce a different car,which is equipped with R4 slick tyres - even if they do not provide substantially more grip,they provide much more constant grip ensuring the focus on racing the competition rather keeping the tyres under certain temperature. The car itself however might feel out of place - the Fraud Wheeler E2 was designed to be a rally car originally,crossing over to rallycross competitions later,so oval racing will be something new to it. Still a car is a car and can be raced almost anywhere,so in AWS such combo is pretty much standard as the series started with GTR car running rallycross!

As always in the oval rounds we will use hotlap qualifying to ensure solo effort being decisive in order to take high grid positions. The running order of qualifying will be decided from Drivers Championship standings - lowest placed drivers will start qualifying while standings leader will take his run last. Everyone will have to run 3 laps - outlap and 2 timed hotlaps,after which driver should spectate,only fastest lap counts of course. 2nd timed lap is optional - theoretically cars are faster in 2nd lap,but in case of a mistake,driver can spectate without finishing 2nd timed lap.

As usual,to avoid many questions,Race Green Events' statement about bumpdrafting:
"With closed wheels cars it is not forbidden,but in case of any reported incidents it will be treated as intentional contact,so everyone has to make sure that he knows what he is doing!"

Previous round pretty much broke the competition for drivers title as series leader does not need to put much effort in,but in high paced racing mistakes can happen and turn things upside down. Also the winner of Oval trophy is on the line in this round - after the 1st round for this award,there are certain favourites,who have better chances than others.

Round info:
Track: Rockingham Oval (RO3)
Laps: 64 (151km)
Car: FRAUD WHEELER E2
Previous winners : RGˆDzidoris (2021 & 2017)

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


A north american single seater series car visited RTFR XL this week - it's a 700+ horsepower car weighting just a bit more kilograms than it's power,coupled with high performance aerodynamics and wide tyres it was not really a high difficulty car,but still required plenty of skill to master. Still not many accepted this challenge - only 24 drivers have been counted as attending officially,17 of those were classified in results as finished. With relativelly narrow pit window (about 1/5 of the race distance) there were not much different options,but still some had different strategies,like keeping same set of tyres or taking new ones.

Gábor was one of those using same set of tyres for whole 280 kilometers and that brought him success - he started from outside of front row,kept the outside line through 1st corner after oval's turn and took the lead of the race,which he kept for all 55 race laps. Despite losing most of his lead advantage in late stage of the race,the hungarian still crossed the finish line 1st to score his 4th RTFR XL race win,tying 2 drivers for 4th most,climbing also to 4th position in all time success ranking,it was also his 12th top5 finish. Despit being fastest on track,R.Kardol was denied once again the race win - with much fresher tyres he chased hard the leader,but ended up 2 seconds short,clocking 10th closest finish in RTFR XL history,however he did set the fastest lap of the race,which puts him in the sole lead in this chart - he is the 1st driver to set one in 11 races,also it was his 36th top5 finish. Fatal was the fastest in qualifying,resulting him the 3rd pole position,but his hopes for 2nd win were fading away early with each lap - 3rd place finish is his 13th top5 finish. Zesty however had his best race of RTFR XL - 4th place finish is an improvement by 6 positions compared with his previous best result,while his 6th place in qualifying was an improvement by 2 positions. Number closed the top5 already 1 minute behind race winner and scored his 3rd top5 finish.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
With 24 drivers attending it was enough to put this car in lead between all single seater cars in most attended cars chart,6th place overall. FOX is close 2nd with 23.3 racers per race,but had a 41 attenders in the last race.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Is also the winner of the race - Gábor spent 10.22 seconds in pitstall during refuelling pitstop,which is the shortest time from all drivers. Mention worth is Michal,who did a shorter legal pitstop twice,one of them exactly 10 seconds,but his total time is over 20 seconds.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Number arrived rather late in qualifying and did not had much time to set faster laptime,so he qualified 17th,but gained 12 positions during the race to finish in top5.

But a day before that AWS will take action to Rockingham's Oval using a car that was designed for rally - how that will go? Join and find out yourself! In 2 weeks the tuesday will be filled with our newest series - round 2 of RandomCar will take place in streets of South City,we're currently are still in voting for a new additional car for the series,join our discord server for more info (link in opening post). And there is also some info what will happen in 4 weeks - the racewinner of yesterday's race has already submitted the choice for 75th RTFR XL,which is a repeat of combo from 221st RTFR run 3 years ago.

That's why people normally use white default skin on non-paint schemed colors. In your case player is forced to make a skin when he wants a car in simple one color (red for example) which isn't available in the colors list.
