Unexpected...!

First time we see this one happening, when winner wins the race in winner's choice layout! Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) did surprise us by taking the top from no qualification time and selected NOT the fastest car. GT4 cars were absolutely beast cars for doing laptimes, but as 16 laps was set on race, it turned out as road car was better choice! Gevin was also the only racer in field who made no critical mistakes at any point. Congratulations!

"Silver medal" goes to LLM.Sobis ( LFSW: Sobis ). He selected same car as winner, though Sobis did select FZX in first place. He knew that car might stand a chance to make good result. He was correct! Only one spun out ruined his plausible victory.

3rd place goes to Jay from finland ( LFSW: jh89 ), but was no match against the other two. Too many mistakes caused gap being way too big. Still, could have been worse!

4th place goes to fastest man in both sessions. R. Kardol (LFSW: Rik97 ) selected FZ50 GT4, which was absolutely fast car. Same reason though as Jay, no chance. But at least a finish!

So, only 4/7 did survive. Here is some highlights. ( Better check replay, lots of moments occurred! )





As usual, we start it with start grid and start itself ( now 2 laps! )



First crash at first lap. Jay hits first timer Ma'e/' ( LFSW: Mate2169 ) at grass section, no penalties received. ( So lucky Jay! )


Lap 2 @ T1


Ma'e/' ( LFSW: Mate2169 ) did look like this, unable to continue, DNF.


Rik's FZ4 was fast, but unstable due difficult but fast racing line.


Draft train!



Here is another crash. No good.


Because the incidents, 2 FZX racers and Jay was on top 3, until this happens. Jay have hitted sign @ grass section.


Then, Sobis lost control at next lap, which is also the breaking point. No one could catch Gevin anymore.




Aw man, lost connection with not many laps to go...



Yeah...this time UM21 really *** *** *** ****. *** ** *** *** ***** ***** *** ***** ******, ***** ** *** **** * ****** *** *** *** *** ***** ***** ** ***. ****** **** ** **-*******! ( You really thought browsing race results would be boring? HAH! )

Moody!!!


Round 39 did offer unexpected and dramatic moments in first lap and last lap. Results are exceptional. Results are absolutely unexpected...

...THE WINNER IS.... GEVIN!!!

First time ever we see a driver who wins the race who never led any laps on Round 39 race. Sobis received 10 second penalty causing a chain reaction in lap 1, who did cross the finish line as first, but was dropped to 5th place. Ultimately the setup was planned to be for Mr. Seahorse aka Y.Laprevotte, but moments in last lap dropped him to 2nd place. That means Gevin wins Round 39 and has the power to select a layout to round 40 from rounds 31-39. However, Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) receives unofficial warning about having collision with R. Kardol on first lap, but no penalties received, nothing else than pointing with forefinger towards to Gevin, reminding of the crash. However, Sobis started it.

Anyway, victory is yours! Well done! Especially when started from 7th position.

2nd place goes to Y.Laprevotte ( LFSW: GreyBull [CHA] ), who did led 40/41 laps. Basically all but last lap. He had great chance to take the top but unfortunate collision with Sobis on last corner, which happened to be a lag hit, caused Mr. Seahorse to lose control, hitting the wall.

Due penalty, 3rd position goes then to Mr. Flat Out! Started from 4th place, and finished as 4th place, but resulted as 3rd, it was regular, good performance by him.

4th place goes to Pole Position guy, R. Kardol. Collision with Gevin at first lap was disaster to him, but was eventually the best result he could do after a such. Was close to catch and overtake Willi, but not enough laps.

5th place goes then to victory guy, Sobis, who did cross the line as first and, well... rest you know. Too bad, but that's what it is. Strangely, he made unofficial "golden lap", as leading only one lap, which tends to be a last lap, but due penalty, he did not won. So it is very exceptional result. Never seen before winner have led 0 laps, and golden lap maker did not win the race.

6th place goes to T. Soini and 7th place goes to UM21, who had problems to keep car at track.


You like highlights? Of course you do! Here they are!



Start Grid and start.



So, as seen in video, things did start right after turn 1 and continued to turn 2. In pictures. Chain reaction happens when Sobis hits Gevin in awkward direction.








Situation goes like this: Yann has escaped, Gevin, Sobis and Willi doing the draft and Soini is left behind. Rik and UM21 have spun off.



Soon Gevin and Sobis starts to draft well and leaves Mr. Flat Out! behind. Time to catch leader.


Meanwhile, UM21 crashes.


Rik have catched up T.Soini and overtakes him fairly easily.


Here is the last lap in pictures and video.

"ALRIIIIGH'!"

HE IS BACK! SINCE ROUND 30 HE PROVE WHO HE IS!

Willi the "Mr. Flat Out!" took the victory in Round 38 after a disaster in Round 37 and showed how it is done in one of the most difficult layouts in MTDZX- Flat Out! Series! Despite he was not the fastest guy in track, racing with 1 ( or 2, depending how looking at it ) mistake(s) only to the finish line was sure enough. As only 6 racers did involve on Glitched Flight, half of them DNF and fastest guy ultimately made a critical mistake for losing victory. Double Points involved as well, it must be a pleasure for winner! Well Done!


2nd place goes to fastest guy in track, Sobis started from pole and made fastest lap, and was overall simply fastest, but not flawless, as drop-off in early moment of race took the victory away. Still a clear 2nd position.

AND 3RD POSITION Folks, goes to guy who had first five attempts as DNF and makes his way to the higher and higher. Congratulations to RedBot! Your first podium ever! Being even more steady than Mr. Steady, it was simply worth of it. Great going man!


So, only 3 guys did finish. Here is some highlights, this time no videos.


Start grid:



First jump and first turn one.



Actual racing was possible. Here is battle of the victory.


Then the series of problems starts. Sobis being the first guy.





Then it was UM21's turn. Too high jump and race is over by being stuck at the end. DNF


More trouble incoming. AkuLambat ( LFSW: akubosaan ) lost control and had to use !flip command. He even started to drive wrong way accidentally and was close to getting spectated by driving wrong way.


His race ultimately goes off and drops again. He also sets new record of most !flip commands used in one race: FOURTEEN TIMES! Arska, you are now saved!


Soini hitted pillar and flew away. Ultimately got stuck at awkward situation. Sadly he had to retire from the race.




Due others gone to DNF mode, Sobis eventually encloses Willi, but no chance. No closer than this.

NO WAY!

Man... Drama never ends... or surprises!

Very first of all, it was first time of neither UM21 or Willi scored any amount of points due internet connection, but from different reasons. UM21 had some device and electricity issues about battery usage of mobile connection, as device's battery being old and refusing to hang online for not recharging enough fast. Ironically, the connection did last for whole race, so that would be an issue about USB connection usage, or other reason. Willi did DNF in last lap by his router "being ready for smashed to the wall."

Another surprise was how FXO GT4 was an OP car compared to two other GT4 cars. Ultimately all three cars were too powerful against UF GT4 and other optional available cars, despite UF4 having great top speed. That fact turned out as we only saw three different cars by 8 different racers.

Because FXO GT4, Winner is JAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FROM FINLAAAAND!


He survived from first crash and managed to catch Sobis and escape from him! That was only possible for a reason as Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) did drop off from the track in lap 2 and left Sobis alone, being beaten by Jay's ( LFSW: jh89 ) FXO GT4. Jay did start from pole and set fastest lap, but only led 5/7 laps. Sobis was "thief" and "stole" 2 remaining laps. However, great performance. You Won!


2nd place was taken by LLM.Sobis ( LFSW: Sobis ) and selected a car as XR GT4, but was no match alone against FX4. Easy "silver" earned, though.

3rd place goes to R. Kardol ( LFSW: Rik97 ). He did select FZ50 GT4 and saw it was too slow car. But because the first crash and Gevin's and Willi's DNF, it was absolutely great position for him and took 2nd time a podium. "Well met!"

4th place goes to Mr. Steady and 5th place goes to Arsk4, who manages to score points since Round 28. He also gained 10 second penalty, causing a collision. But because RedBot ( LFSW: redbot_ ) was 1 lap behind due dropping off the track and missed the finish line for finishing lap 1, no changes in final results.


Time for highlights:


The moment when GREEN appears ( and starting lap )



Video about the first crash


Gevin falls off and can't move enough. DNF.



Battle between Sobis and Jay starts...



...and ends!


It was very clear who has greatest chance to win and getting 2nd place. However, battle between 3rd and 7th were closing...


...until this happens... sadly.


The gallery was shocked!
