2025 Season 1 RTFR final standings
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.

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.

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.

Reason : Added car names to drivers + redraw
Official results
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!
RandomCar - 2025 round 5
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.
...and neither with technical assistance.
...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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
