I wasn't able to use my sim-rig, so I really came just for the attendance points. Hoped for at least some points, but I forgot to switch to my personal net, so I chose to spectate before I ruin any more races.
And the champion of champions is... Adam!
Every heat group had it's one leader, but later on there was some close racing. Semi-final 1 even had to do a decider run, as both competitors had one win. In decider Rozītis lost to Adam, thus Adam advanced to final. Troy won everything until final, where he couldn't take all the pressure and gave title for Adam.
Just a few weeks ago real Race of Champions took place in Miami, which ended up with Juan Pablo Montoya being the fastest man and Sebastian Vettel as the fastest country in the world.
Our RoC will be held at Westhill. This narrow layout is perfect for track day's cars, but you will have to deal with XR GTR as well.
The format will consist of 1vs1 parllel driving. Each run will be 2 laps long, but you will cross start/finish line 4 times.
Event length will depend on drivers count.
By any case there will be elimination semi finals and a final. In the final 2 drivers will fight to two wins. There might be quarterfinals if more than 16 drivers attend. Event will start with heat runs. Drivers will be divided in groups based on their speed. Groups will be made with as similar average performance as possible. Depending on chosen format, driver will have to reach 2 to 3 wins to advance.
We will use 6 cars - LX6, RAC, XRT, RB4, FZ5 and XRR. Cars will be selected by random, but we will start with trackday's cars and later use bigger cars.
For closer racing we will use fixed setups!
Organizer will join the track and next driver will have to take over control. When both drivers are on track, race will restart. You can take over by pressing T next to drivers name in connection list.
Layout and setups available in attachments.

RX of Blackwood provided some great fun. While race 1 was pretty much decided from the start and all the battles were in middlefield, reversed top6 grid positions made race 2 much more intense in top of the field. Despite having started from lower positions STO drivers still menaged to gain 1-2 pretty early.

RX fun continues! It's already second RX event organized by LFS Latvia, but this time it will be simpler than previous one.
The race will be held at Blackwood special layout using XRT RWD beasts. Layout is not tricky one, as it basically just combines BL1 and BL2R together, but setups and tyre menagement will probably cause some problems. Since tarmac part is so much longer, road tyres may come an option, so do your testing! Format will consist of 2 races 8 laps each. Starting grid will be decided by 25 min qualifying. Race 2 will start with switched top 6 positions.
