AMAZING crowd tonight at the 308th Rony's Tuesday Fun Race! 🔥🚗
39 drivers took part at this event, making it one of the most attended this season. Marcelo Neiva took an extraordinary pole position, but the race was a different story! FM's Fatal managed to climb up the order & dominated the race, with a 6 seconds gap over YES Lakunas and his teammate, FM's Fanatic. IronDoni finished P4, while B2ﾏ TwinCam finished P5!
The entry level NGT car seemed to be a real crowdpleaser,probably due the combination with the relativelly easy track - the 2023 season 1 final race was also the most attended one of the year with 43 drivers qualifying for the race. Last time same number of drivers attended was april last year,when BF1 race at Blackwood also attracted 43 drivers,coincidentally also back then 1 spot of the 40 car grid was left free. The car felt like a classic LFS's NGT car,being just 1 second off XFR's pace,so it produced pretty much a pack racing as you can see in the broadcast.
After 5 races absence the returnee Fatal qualified himself on 7th place,advanced himself through the field early on and used the chance to slip in lead on lap 8. After the pass for lead he had the luck to have his closest oponents busy fighting and holding up each other,so the finn could lead the last 22 laps of the 29 laps race on the way to victory lane to score his 4th RTFR race win,clocking also the fastest lap of the race,which is also his 4th. Fatal increased his top5 count to 19 in the 42 finished races. Starting 2nd and finishing 2nd on paper looks like a boring race,but the lithuanian with changing names had a lot of positions switching action,most of it was even shown on broadcast - despite leading 5 laps,he had to settle for 2nd place finish,on the final lap repeating fastest lap of the race. That was his 7th fastest lap of the race and 18th top5 finish. Fnatic was the one who joined the positions switching during tha race,on lap 3 leading a lap in RTFR for the first time ever,but at the end he repeated his best finishing result of RTFR,set 2 weeks ago - 3rd,which is his 3rd top5 finish,however the 4th position in qualifying was 3 positions better than his previous best. Doni also joined the lead chasing pack,but could not make a lot of progress through it,finishing 4th - that's a repeat of his only other top5 finish of this season,14th top5 finish in total. The reigning Crashmas and 300km of Westhill champion Twincam closed the top5,earning his 2nd top5 finish in RTFR,best result of this season for him.

Even if this race did not provide any intrigue in battle for championship as it was effectivelly decided,it provided plenty of pretty much normal racing action with a lot of position shuffles,including for lead - 4 race leaders was the highest number outside oval since 284th RTFR. Since the season with scored standings is over now,there will be 3 RTFR races pretty much on oldschool style - no championships,no prizes,no broadcast and no info about next combo. All you can know is that we will keep the tyre type schedule as next race will be one of the road legal cars,which and where will be planned out just on the weekend before it. However it's well known what will happen next week - the next RTFR XL race will be held on Fern Bay's longest standard configuration and run with the good old XRT. However this weekend Race Green Events will offer the chance to show off the skills of all 2-wheeled racing fans - the 2nd edition of Race Green Westhill Tourist Trophy will be run on the sunday,make sure you don't miss out the chance!
