This post will be edited after draw to add cars names to drivers!
New signups will receive their cars drawn in 2nd wave (20 minutes before qualifying)!

Last edited by Eclipsed, Sat 7 Jun 2025, 09:45. Reason : Added car names to drivers + redraw

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!

2025 series - round 5

Tuesday, 3rd June
17:00 UTC / 19:00 CET / 20:00 EET

Information:
Track: Aston North (AS7)
Race distance: 14 laps (72km)

Signups: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/110337 (closes 30 minutes before qualifying start)
RandomCar spreadsheets (with cars list,their balancing and all results/standings): LINK

Cars list and their balancing is available also in server - type command !opt and select "RandomCar Info"
Server link: Ronys Tuesdays Fun Race (access the times table via command ;tt )
Server will be passworded at least 1 hour before qualifying,server pass: random
Race Green Discord: https://discord.gg/E37R5vD

Cars will be drawn in 2 waves:
1st wave - 24 hours before start of qualifying
2nd wave - 20 minutes before start of qualifying - for late signups
Draw link and results will be posted in this thread!

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.

For those who missed the live action,here's video on demand of the relativelly classic GTi car racing with a bit different car:

On coming tuesday we'll gonna test this midengined XR in Aston's short club configuration. Not a difficult car to handle,but being fastest can be tricky! 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/111427-359th-RTFR
The attached RTFR promo skin is public and free for use.


Some feedback regarding the car after making the skin - as much as I find it cool to have some variable configurations with some differences,it's quite a headacke to make a skin that suits to all of them - especially if you use mask that has different color than some of the related panels. Logo on rear spoiler was also quite limited in usage to not look weird on the other spoiler type.
Other thing - when having skin,seats can be colored only white as their coloring is tied to main body.
What I liked - customizable number plate in both versions,that's a good idea actually,just need to check placement on other type not to have it in mask's color (was firstly surprised why euro numberplate is black ).

I'm not asking for changes for this car,just giving some things to consider for future cars.

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

* PENALTIES :
YES Number - receives a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct (crashing driver on victory lane).
hermanni - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.
B2ﾏ Suforr - receives 9.56 seconds penalty added to his finish time for minimum pit time violation.

- - - - - - - - - -

The 1st RTFR XL race of the 2nd century was run with the fastest standard LFS car BF1 in a soon to be standard configuration - the Westhill International without last chicane. Since making it standard will take a while,we have to make it ourself first using open config method. The fast BF1 with it's specific handling as always was a challenge for drivers,for some big enough to not even try - with 21 attending drivers this was not the least popular race of the year,but being around all time average values means lower attendance than in latest few years.

One week after celebrating his first ever RTFR race win,Suforr scored his own and his country's first pole position in the other RTFR series,setting sights also on the other winners club. However he was passed very early in the race and led 10 laps in 2 pitstop shuffling phases before retiring after spinning the car 2 turns after completing half of the race distance. The driver who has won 8 of latest 11 RTFR XL races incresed his winning percentage to 75% after this race - Gábor once again was the driver to beat,this time leading 42 of 54 laps and finishing 44 seconds ahead of competition to score his 17th RTFR XL race win,picking up also his 17th fastest lap of the race and 27th top5 finish. A driver with a win with different F1 car in RTFR XL was the best of the rest this week - Number also took over race lead for 2 laps during pitstops shuffling,but was no danger for race win and finished 2nd to score his 5th top5 finish. Trespasser scored his best qualifying result 3rd,improving the best result by 1,but could not find any way to upgrade the position during race and scored 3rd position also in race results,which is his 2nd top5 finish. Last on the lead lap was a driver who decided to opt for a funny name for this race - mr Puntola scored his 31st top5 finish. Despite losing a lap,Ayoub still managed to clinch a top5 finish,which is the 9th for the maroccan.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Attendance in previous 4 RTFR XL races with BF1 has been quite stable - all races featured 18 to 24 drivers,so the 21 this week was the exact middle between those values and just above the average.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
With need of more than 2 full fuel tanks for this race,everyone completing full or clost to full race distance stopped twice in pits,shortest pitstop time was done by the winner himself,who did 2 very similar pitstops of refuelling only,totalling 15.55 seconds spent in pitstall. There was a driver with less time spent in pitstall,however the driver retired before needing the 2nd pitstop.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Low effort in qualifying and big improvement during the race - quite a trend for some drivers,this time it was Nandolonso,who improved own qualifying's best laptime by more than 2 seconds during the race. Starting from 19th grid position and finishing 7th gave him progress of 12 positions during the race,one more than 2nd best positions upgrade.

VOD at Youtube:


Since it's not allowed to select combo for back to back races,the winner may not pick another combo,so the selection was relayed to 2nd place finisher,who did not need to decide it - it will be 8th running of the slowest LFS standard car (tying for most selections with FZR) UF1,which will be run for just 21 laps in Aston Historic on 18th june. Before that tuesdays will be filled with 2 last races of RTFR 2025 season 1,first one running with one of the road legal cars,between those - RandomCar 2025 round 5.

The headlights seems to be floating in air unattached.

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)


RTFR has been very changing in terms of car/track combos and regular racers had to deal with whatever was thrown to them,that is if they were interested to arrive - that was the car with this combo which can be described as one of the toughest. The rollhappy NGT class car UFR coupled with track with highest curbs wasn't too atractive for people as 24 drivers in qualifying is the repeated lowest attendance this year. Despite pessimistic prognoses about new retirement record,finishing rate was still above 2/3 - not even lowest this year. However this race repeated other very old record - it featured a new race winner just like in previous race and last time there were new additions to RTFR Winners club from back to back races was december 2016/january 2017 and most noticably that new winners pair also was started by a scottish driver winning a race in Rockingham oval.

The new addition to Winners club as you can see in the picture is Suforr - a spanish driver who has been around top positions latelly and has scored 6 top5 finishes before this race,including 2 each 2nd and 3rd place finishes this year. This week he qualified 3rd,got promoted to outside of front row due non-starter and took over the race lead when polesitter decided to make more adventures in the race than needed. Finishing the 2nd lap as race leader added him as 118th driver in lap leaders chart and he gathered up a total of 12 lead laps to score 1st race finish not just for himself but also all spanish drivers. Also 2nd place finisher scored his best ever RTFR result - already in qualifying Jsk halved the value of best qualifying result (from 8th to 4th),finishing result was even bigger improvement as previous best was 7th position - with this the slovakian scored his 1st top5 finish from 53 race starts. Thehemuli finished 3rd to repeat season's best result and score his 19th top5 finish,polesitter Gábor needed some repairs in pitstop after his lap 2 incident,but still raced up to 4th position to score his 80th top5 finish and practically seal the deal on current season standings win. Top5 was closed by another spanish driver Rayman,scoring his 3rd top5 finish.

VOD at Youtube:


Next week it's time for the XL version of RTFR - another 75 minutes race is ahead and this one will feature the fastest LFS standard car BF1 and Westhill's longest standard config without the last chicane. Full information and server will be posted and set up tomorrow. And in 2 weeks normal RTFR will return with some custom car and rather short standard track - some hints can be heard when watching the stream recoring above.

Quote from Scawen :

- When people are using multiple accounts
Yes, this can sometimes be detected by linking one IP address with multiple accounts. But users can get around that by changing IP address (dynamic IP or VPN).

Well,there was one case of such abuse - in 2023 Crashmas event there was a guy gaining unfair advantage by buying an S1 licence for new account to have 2nd chance at the event. This was noticed only later and confirmed when checking server logs for IP when joining server. So it would be handy to have this option in case someone tries to pull this stunt again.

Quote from Scawen :

- When certain IP is sending requests to the server but not connecting (malicious actor)
I don't think this is seen these days, because of how the system works, but correct me if I am wrong.

I believe it was at some point last year when some IP adresses where in server log with some spam-like behaviour - people were reporting that in discord chats,checked myself and did couple IP bans just to be sure. Again something worth to have as option except that can be somehow prevented serverside from actual host.

Early in the 3rd season RandomCar finally visited one of the Westhill's standard configurations after 2 races run in custom ones. The National reversed configuration with it's 2 long straights firstly looked like a playground for high power cars,however the middle section with it's turns and twists benefited light well handling cars - that kinda balanced things out and front row featured one of the heaviest cars and one from lower weight class. 27 drivers gathered up for this round,which is just a bigger half from 49 entries getting drawn a car for this round - 26 of them are scored as finished,despite 2 of them never crossing finish line after chequered flag was displayed.

For this round XRT was a clear randomizer's favourite - a total of 7 cars were drawn,4 of them arrived and all of them were within top11 in both sessions,one of them,driven by Unite,was the fastest in qualifying,scoring the 2nd pole position for the car this year,3rd in total. However polesitter's lead was very short as he was jumped by AWD car in start - Adam led first 2 laps before allowing the race winner to pass him. The RandomCar debutant Trespasser snatched race lead on lap 3 and run away from competition with his lightweight MZ-S Roadster,scoring the 1st win for the car that was added before start of this season via voting. After running the XF Coupe for 300 kilometers on sunday,Twincam received it also for RandomCar race 2 days later - even if the common racing surface between Westhill tracks used in the 2 races is measurable with few hundred meters where smaller half was driven in same direction,the feeling for the car surely helped the irishman to bring it from 5th position on grid to 2nd position in finish. After some ups and downs,polesitter Unite eventually managed to rescue at least a 3rd place finish in this race.


R.Kardol got Dorito for this race and finished it 4th to scored healty set of points which were more than enough to pass the not attending standings leader,who slipped down to 3rd position - Dodislaw is now 18 points behind,just ahead of him is Thehemuli with 14 points deficite to table lead. With only 8 best scores from 10 rounds missing a round still means nothing is really lost in race for championship.

Teams standings leaders Team S1dus drivers finished 3rd and 4th,scoring the highest points count between all teams this round and increasing their lead to 15 points over defending champions B2R. 2023 champions RGA keeps 3rd position and trails already by 32 points. Finland is now on run - 2nd round in row with highest points score,3rd with 30+ points results in 45 points lead over single driver nation Netherlands (led by drivers standings leader),early standings leaders are now 3rd,one point behind 2nd position. Another solid result for XRT means their lead is extended to 18 points XF Coupe,XM-5 is still 3rd with 20 points gap.


31 different cars were drawn for the 49 entries,as mentioned the XRT got the biggest chunk with 7 draws,both XF Coupe and Acosta receiving 4 draws. Talot remains the all time most drawn car getting one for this round,however Acosta has just 1 less now,closelly followed by XF Coupe.
Only 2 cars got new best results - the obvious one is Trespasser's 3rd position in qualifying and race win,beating Rony's previously set best results (accoringly 9th and 10th positions). The other one is R.Kardol's 4th position in qualifying with Dorito FD7 SR,which is 2 positions better than previous best shared by Dodislaw and Mouseman,however his 4th position in race is just a repeat of best result.


Round 5 of 2025 coincidentally will be a repead of round 5 of 2023 - the Aston North has been selected as next track,the 5.2km circuit will be run for 14 laps in the race. Last time both win and pole position was taken by 2 different drivers running XF Turbo 5 with both drivers with the car finishing 1st and 2nd - good sign for those who might get the car drawn.

But that's how real gearbox works - you can simply shift from gear into neutral,with load (either acceleration or deceleration) it's rather difficult as gears lock themselves,but without load (the moment when you release throttle) it's very easy to shift to neutral. Same with putting from neutral into gear - when you push lightly the lever to gear (not too hard to not grind),at specific rpm/speed it will jump into gear with rather low resistance - same happens in LFS,where you can shift gears without clutch with simple revmatching.
The only part that is missing between real gearbox and LFS simulation over shifter is the "force feedback" as there is no resistance of the shifter.
