All Rounder Championship 2025 Round 11 recap
Protests:
TimDC via discord: A final L1 T1
At the start of the race, after the initial acceleration to full speed, the track narrows before T1. Going there 3 wide caused a chain of events, which ended up with [MRc] Michal spinning in front of [MRc] TimDC and there was unfortunately lag in play in the contact that happened between Michal and TimDC, causing the latter one to flip over. None of the drivers are predominantly to blame, meaning this is a racing incident and no penalties need to be applied for the drivers. For the topic of restart, there happened to be the Retro Cup test race taking place after the event, but it had no impact with the race control decision making. The rules of the series has nothing stated about race restarts, but we have followed the basic guideline of no restarts, meaning once the race starts, it runs until the end. However, we understand the frustration on this incident and we will take this as an improvement suggestion and taking into consideration if we should have some restart policy in the future for the rallycross events due to the sprint race nature of the system.
The results posted above are confirmed as official
To conclude the rallycross portion of our 2025 ARC season, we had a combo that is so fundamentally wrong it should be illegal: FWD rallycross. But that is exactly why it featured in All Rounder Championship, as to be worthy of the title you should be able to be competitive in every possible scenario. Despite the difficulty, 11 drivers set a laptime during qualifying and 10 of those finished the whole event.
The top five of the qualifying consisted of three MRc drivers and two ZFRL drivers:
Suforr got pole as
TimDC followed second.
Motimoukari was third and
Michal fourth while
Thehemuli completed the top five.
The grid order mandated by the qualifying results only stood true for the first set of heat races though, while the gridding for the finals were determined by the fastest two heat times of each driver combined. Suforr converted his qualifying success and also took the pole for A-final with Thehemuli setting alongside him. The front row of the three-wide grid was completed by
Unite with the smallest possible margin of 0,01s. TimDC got the inside of row 2 for A-final, accompanied by Michal. The rest of the drivers would have to fight their way through the B-final as the winner would inherit the last spot in the A-final.
In the B-final it was
Maciek who took the lead into T1 after passing his teammate
Rony. These two would lead the pack with
MadJester charging behind with a different tyre strategy. He would pass Rony on the final lap but Maciek kept up his pace, took the win and got promoted to the A-final.
The A-final started with a bang with multiple contacts into T1 which resulted in TimDC ending up on his side being unable to continue. Suforr held his lead while Unite avoided the mayhem behind and was promoted to second place. Thehemuli was caught in the incident but was the first car out of the mess ending up in third. Michal suffered a bent chassis and Maciek was held up by the rolled car of TimDC. Suforr made the most out of his lead and pulled away decisively, taking his second win in ARC. Unite took home the second place with no threat from Thehemuli, who had to settle for third. It was an intense battle for fourth with Maciek catching Michal on the final lap and even briefly passing him before going wide himself. Maciek tried again with a brave outside move into the last hairpin but Michal defended well, taking home fourth place and leaving Maciek fifth.
Next round will be the final one of our 2025 season, more info on that very soon.
