Quote from Jaroslav Dohnalík via Discord :Today's RTFR
Jaroslav Dohnalík vs S.ELIAS
Lap 29, before T1
S.ELIAS turns into me

S.Elias aims to get behind J.Dohnalík's car,but misjudges the position and hit's the car - avoidable incident from uncautios driving.


* PENALTIES :
S.ELIAS - receives 30 seconds penalty added to his finish time for avoidable incident on lap 29.
TATAEME - receives 20 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit entry and exit line violation.
「DD」 tBug & Vina® - receives a WARNING for failure to react on incident ahead and increasing the incident severity. Controls of both drivers show full throttle until hitting a spinning or slowing down car ahead,therefor there is no proof of any try to avoid the incident. No actual penalty because both drivers did not bother to finish the race but future incidents will lead to actual penalty.

A slow car on full speed oval always means full contact teamwork - speeds are too low classic slingshot drafting,so coupling together 2 (or even more) engines in a train formation gives the biggest speed as the car[s] behind the leading car do not have such wind resistance. As usually oval raceing attracts drivers usually passing the classic road/street course races,so was the winner of this race - the semi regular of earlier times returned to this event after missing 18 races. He was the 1st new winner of this year,first since may last year. Also it was the biggest ever time gap between new winners - the 75th member of RTFR winners club was added 308 days after the 74th,which is 28 days more than previous biggest gap (between 73rd and 74th).

And who was the winner? It was the only known RTFR participant from continent of Africa - the maroccan Ayoub Maroc,adding his country as the 25th in the list of winning nations. He qualified 4th and grouped together with his teammate right from the early race,found the rhythm and eventually passed the front row duo,successfully pulling away from them after that - Ayoub was ahead of the duo all the time and led 25 laps of this race to cross the finish line first. In prevous 24 starts his best finishing result was 3rd,so it's an increase of 2 positions regarding his personal best finish,it was also his 7th top5 finish. Winner's teammate Rayman worked well together,but in the last lap try for win failed the pass for lead and had to settle for 2nd place finish,which is also increase of best finishing result by 2 postions from half as much previous races as his teammate,just 2nd top5 finish for him. Rayman finished just 0.07 seconds behind winner,clocking 8th closest finish in RTFR history. After scoring his 1st ever pole position in qualifying,Fatal was the leader of the leading duo for first 9 laps,but they had to concede to charging B2R teammates - repeat of the best result for the finn,3rd position for the 2nd race in row,8th top5 finish in total. His partner in race was current season leader V.Laguckas,who finished 4th,scoring his 10th top5 finish,6th this year. 5th place was taken by Michal,who also scored his 10th top5 finish. Someone is still missing in this paragraph - the owner of the fastest lap of the race,or what's a bit common in oval racing - owners. LG-mies and Number worked well together in lap 5 to share the fastest lap of the race - first ever for both of them.

VOD at Youtube:


Combo for the next RTFR has been mentioned in the broadcast,but full info will be posted in the weekend before the race. Meanwhile in the RTFR server the combo for next RTFR XL has been set up for testing purposes - as it's a combo without world record,best time has to be found out for distance calculation,every interessent is welcome to join the server for practice run. Next week we might set up another quick race in the experimental RTFR CCCC series,but it's not guaranteed yet.

I think you need to check your results from race again, i finished 11th in the race on server, only got classed as 25th in your result page...
Occasionally there is a bad packet in replay,which confuses the LFSstats app,resulting in lost lap. Anyway,the big white sheet (s.png) is just a stats info,the official results (which is used for points) is the picture in game results format (r.png).
