3rd licenced real world car in RTFR was another Škoda,but a very different one - a car that is actually unique as it has been built only in 1 piece. But the benefit of virtual world is the ability of multiplying unique cars,so we had a total of 23 Ferat Vampire RSRs,22 from them were lined up on grid and ready to tackle the 13 laps race. Being a bit slower than LFS's GTi class cars it should have been a crowd pleaser,but with it's tricky handling and skinny tyres it seems to have scared away many drivers,or maybe at fault are the rumours about car's alternative fuel system?
Driver of the day was Trespasser,who was fastest whole evening long,including pre-race practice - his previous event domination happened with other and even older car with specific handling. His fastest laps of both sessions had just 1/100 of a second difference as the lithuanian scored his 2nd pole position and fastest lap of the race before scoring also his 2nd RTFR race win and 5th top5 finish. The number 2 of the day was Twincam,who repeated his best qualifying result with the 2nd best laptime of the session,while keeping the position also through the race to finish 2nd led him to new best finishing result - improving his previous best by 1 position and adding 9th top5 finish to his stats. Also 3rd place finisher achieved a very noticable result - the position itself was not a big achievement for the 13-time race winner Unite,however it was his 100th top5 finish from 156 total race finishes - the finn is only the 2nd driver achieving the century of top5 finishes. Gábor however did not care about making more historic achievements - having active 3 race winning streak,he did not put any effort in qualifying by setting the slowest laptime,so 4th win in row was out of reach and the hungarian finished just 4th to score his 86th top5 finish. Top5 was closed by creator of this car mod and obviously big fan of the car itself - Michal qualified 4th,but dropped a position during the race,ending his 2 race 4th place finishing streak,but extended top5 finishing streak to 3,scoring his 17th overall top5 finish.

RTFR will take a break next tuesday and let the server be used for 9th round of RandomCar 2025 series,which will be held in another very fast track - cross your fingers to get a powerful car in draw. After this break RTFR will return with quite classic LFS combo,but RTFR XL in 3 weeks time will use another rather classic LFS combo with and FO8 race in Aston.
