Race






Before this round, winner of Round 47 had some serious issues about the setup and had to DNF in Round 46...
...But we do not care about it, as ONCE AGAIN, Mr. Flat Out! made it again! Victory from 5th position, Willi ( Will.I.Am ) was the fastest guy in race and led 11/19 laps. He is the king of Rectangularistic... for now! Well done!

2nd position goes to UM21, that means we have result repeat from Round 18, as same track and same 1-2 positions. This time gap was bigger and host also suffered some tire overheat, forcing to select different racing line.

However, Despite Willi and UM21 took the first two podiums, there could have been different result, as [MRc] Michal ( LFSW: michal 1279 ) failed to attempt optimal mandatory pitstop and was dropped to Bronze only. However, he scores first time to the podium and gets 8 points to the standings, making total 13. Last time he finished race was since Round 18 and 4th position. Now on 3rd! Still, it is safe to say: Well done!

4th position goes to Grand Slam guy, R. Kardol ( LFSW: Rik 97 ), who actually filled up more fuel to his XR GT car and was going more slower and slower. Even Mr. Steady was going to challenge him at last lap, but due too careful driving, Rik escapes to the 4th position, just before T. Soini ( LFSW: teppari )


More honorable mentions: French Street Racers Team managed first time to make score with 3 racers, as Willi won and ( LFSW: Kova. | barjoe17 ) took position 7 & 8. Also, first time [SR] Adebayor (LFSW: bila_khs) scores first points ever, finishing by 9th position and would had also score to SonicRealms Racing as well...

...if only LFSWorld would have told he belongs in that team. For him, it simply says N/A.
Regardless of any reason, it does not really matter anymore due too less rounds remaining.



Here is some highlights!!!








As you could have seen on video above, Jay makes mistake on 3rd corner and spins up. Ultimately he simply gives up, DNF.


Another similar moment: LawB LIKE ( LFSW: MartynasL ) fails to cut corner and drops to the ground. The similar moment is that he also gives up, DNF. Only two of these drivers retired, while others went on...


ATM, Four Horsemen, reminds slightly about this video: ( LOL, what a track selected for this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZNIUrNaI1w )


UM21 have pitted already, leaving three guys.


Now Rik is doing a pitstop, but there will be a problem...


As picture tells:


Willi's turn to pit, leaving Michal to the lead!


And finally, it was Michal's turn! But he fails to make optimal pitstop and drops to 3rd position!


Bonus feature!

Race







"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

R. Kardol ( LFSW: Rik97 ) finally made it! And what an overwhelming result it was. Despite the fact due track and car and other racers, Rik got overtaken early at starting lap, he covered his lead position at last corner and led all the laps from pole and set also fastest lap. If Round 45 was curse for him, this round was pretty much opposite of it! Excellent performance and well done!

Only four racers managed to see finish line. 2nd place goes to T.Soini who was left from last position at turn 1, but due steady and clean run, result is another podium and this time even better than just Bronze. However, luck was on his side strongly as well because System from FSR Team ( LFSW: Kova. ) thought there is mandatory pitstop, he lost his 2nd position to Soini and was left to 3rd place. Funny though.

And 4th position goes to Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) who was clearly on podium pace but mistakes cost him all the plausible places and was last guy finisher. Still, could have been way more worse.


Here is some highlights at opposite direction of above!


Start grid and start.



Hekazi manages to be first guy ever who officially receives a penalty by false start. But because he DNF, no penalties received in book.


Turn 1 looks like this: Barjoe is the first guy DNF as he drops off the path. Also some collisions happens and Hekazi pulls out flashy "chicane cutter"



Now at last corner, Rik manages to keep his lead!


Disaster happens to Jay quickly, he spins out:


However, just before Jay spun, Hekazi goes to pitl.. err... he actually MISSES the pitlane and gets spectated by "wrong way"


UM21 drops first time. Ultimately gets back on track, but suspension damage causes him to drop once again at right hand turn and goes wild adventure. Even so he manages to get back but loses it finally by taking "wrong route!"


Adebayor ( LFSW: bila_khs ) loses control at last corner and drops away. Sadly, after he managed to get back, he drove wrong way and InSim forced to spectate: DNF


Gevin has flat tire:



Wili has also flat tire



Both guys at on these videos will retire, but amazing to see how similar the method is!!!




Gevin makes mistake and drops... Ultimately he gets stuck but luckily he escapes before the mighty "idle minuter checker" goes nuts and spectates Gevin by idle.




Now chaps, the funniest moment of Round 46:

Qualify


Race
















Despite fastest man in track took 4th time Grand Slam, the victory was not really secured until Jay's mistake on "back road", as attacking on lap 1 and 2 took some suspension damage to UM21's car, to obtain fastest lap. FZ50 GT2 was this time indeed fastest car and only GT2 cars were used, leaving FZ50 car unused as taken to be a joke car ( 5:31 is fastest lap done with FZ5 ).

Second place goes to Gevin, having same car as winner and managed to cause some pressure against pole-position guy at opening lap, but pole hit before last U-turn caused his plausible victory withering away. He also joined to infamous Pole-club, where several other racers, including UM21 as well, have hitted once or more. The other club in MTDZX- Flat Out! Series! is legendary Tree huggers club. ( *cough *cough Rony *cough )

3rd position goes to Mr. Steady and 4th place goes to Jay from Finland, who was going to finish AT LEAST 2nd, until the mentioned mistake happened.

5th place goes to RedBot, who was the only guy selecting FXO GT2, and 6th and last place goes to Rik97, who had some issues at drop zone, crashing himself off the track twice. Still, finish is finish, unlike Hekazi ( LFSW: henkkamamma ), who sadly somehow lost control at straight line.



Well, here is some highlights.


Start and it's grid.



At turn 1.


After the "little drop" ( called so before the real one, as car technically drops back to road. ) Gevin almost loses it and goes on drift by R. Kardol's pressure.


Now the real men arrives from the drop zone. Here's how it went:


Rik's car after the crash.


Now on "Drop by 90", where after the fast S-turn and it's drop, enters to 90 degree corner. Here's how it went:


Humps section: Hekazi hitted sign before even managed to get here:



This is the known pole. Gevin simply hits it.



It wasn't perfect run by UM21. Here is loses control at "country side" section on lap 3, which causes to decrease gap from 15 seconds to 7 seconds. Also, suspension is not on great shape due attacking the course on lap 1 and 2.


He unfortunately did it again:



Situation at last lap. People sees leader!



And here is how it was settled.



Actually, this thing isn't THAT rare, but rare when driving in narrow section alone. Hekazi simply DNF's by finally dropping to the void, when finding path to get it back on track.
