Between the races with previously unused user created cars and/or custom tracks,occasionally we host a race with well known LFS classics - GTR at Kyoto's National configuration deffinitelly counts to such,allthough this time we used solely the AWD car FXR. This one gathered up 27 drivers in qualifying while 26 of them were standing on grid ready for the race - both happen to be the highest values in the latest 4 races,however for the 3rd race in row there are 22 drivers classified in results as finishes.
As seen on livestream,top2 drivers did weird moves which raises questions about their interest of performing for race win,but still happened to keep their 1-2 order in both session results - with this race Lagooga scored his 11th race win,21st pole position (tying R.Kardol for 3rd most and scoring 50th for Lithuania),10th fastest lap of the race and 24th top5 finish. Gábor finished 2nd to score his 87th top5 finish,tying the event organizer for 3rd most. With top2 drivers pushing each other away from him,TJ had difficult time to challenge them,so the finish just 0.3s from race winner does not actually tell the story - the brazilian scored his 19th top5 finish with the 3rd position in results. Once again J.Katila did a low effort qualifying and had to climb positions with leaders running away - that resulted in 4th place finish for the finn which is his 29th top5 finish from 50 race starts. In this previous winners filled race,Thehemuli was the best of drivers without success - he finished in 5th to score his 22nd top5 finish.
