RTFR 2025 season 2 started with the classic LFS mid-range formula car FOX,run in the longest configuration of Rockingham that does not use any sections of the oval. This created a fast paced racing,where drivers could press the trottle to max for majority of the track with only few rather short braking zones. Season opener raised the attendance numbers again - with 30 drivers this was the most attended race since other race in Rockingham in end of april.

After the 3 unattended off-season races,Gábor returned to RTFR and did what he did many times before - put his name on top of all tables,scoring more achievements to his account. The hungarian was fastest in qualifying to score the 44th pole position for himself and 50th for Hungary (2nd country after Finland to reach this number). He kept the race lead after few competition attempts and run away from everyone to finish 12 seconds ahead after leading all 32 race laps,increasing his all time lead laps count to 993,so only 7 more needed to reach 1000. This was Gábor's 100th RTFR race finish,from which 45 he has crossed the finish line as race winner,scoring also his 42nd fastest lap of the race and 83rd top5 finish. The number 2 of this round was Suforr,who qualified 2nd (repeated personal best result) and despite being chased closelly by several drivers also finished 2nd to score his 9th top5 finish. Only 2 previous FOX race winners attended in this race,the other one besides Gábor was J.Katila,who finished 3rd from 7th position on grid,scoring his 28th top5 finish. Rest of the top5 was filled also by experienced FOX drivers from other series - 4th was TJ,scoring his 18th top5 finish,5th was the only winless driver of RTFR in today's top5 - Rex finished in top5 for the 2nd time.

Next week RTFR will feature the longer version - 104th RTFR XL will also be run in Rockingham,however additionally to yesterday's configuration it will use also most of the oval and couple tricky sections connecting oval to the national configuration. The selected car has also been seen in Rockingham,however run only in oval 3 months ago - next tuesday Ereso will use also most of the rest of Rockingham's roads. The race length is estimated to 36 laps,however if drivers beat certain laptime,it can be extended. Normal RTFR will return in 2 weeks with a race with one of the default LFS road tyre cars,running in previously used Layout Square custom racetrack.

5. Track mods - there are plenty of started updates that should be finished before opening this can of worms.
4. Upgrade wheel support - what's wrong with current one?
3. Drifting lessons - enter turn,give more throttle to break grip of rear wheels,slide. You're welcome.
2. New graphics - already in progress,you would know that if you would read more than you write.
1. Even More Licenced car mods - you're ready to pay for the licences? Most manufacturers won't give them out for free,especially for current models in the market.

You need at least S1 licence to use autocross environment and layout objects.
You need S3 licence to use car mods.

Before that happens,there is no legal help for you.

July featured 2 rounds this year and the 2nd of those was run in South City - in the tricky Chicane Route in reversed direction. 2 long straights and several tricky turns in this rather short configuration benefitted very different cars,which kinda levelled things out - top5 in qualifying featured wide range of cars and their weight. With 23 drivers qualifying,this was the most attended round of the 3 latest rounds,however this race went into history books with lowest finishing percentage ever - 4 retirements from 22 starters resulted in 81.8% finishing percentage which is 3.2% less than previous worst from round 7 of 2023,coincidentally also run in South City.

The driver,who won already 3 rounds this season added the 3rd win to his achievements in this round - TJ qualified 2nd,but having advantage of the AWD car MZG Sedan,jumped into lead right at the start and left the competition chasing for rest of the race. That's the 3rd podium finish in row for the brazilian and he can now try to tie J.Holmes' record of 4 wins during a season. 2nd position was taked by Lagooga,who got the lightweigth LFS default car Raceabout for this round - 4th position in qualifying was improved to 3rd position quickly,but he had to work hard to gain another position,eventually succeeding. Only 2 cars in RandomCar are lighter than 1 ton and both of them are featured on podium in this round (besides the 1.7 ton winning car) - Loco used previous experience of the Stellar to race it from 5th position on grid to 3rd in finish.


With each of standings top4 scoring more points than the driver ahead,the standings are now tighter than before - just 10 points covering top4 with 2 others in slight distance within 1 round points score. The order however remains unchanged - R.Kardol still keeps the position in front despite 9th place finish with the Fraud Wheeler in this round. Thehemuli finished 7th with his Acosta and halved the gap to leader to 2 points,Unite scored all 4 possible bonus points from this race for fastest laps in both sessions with his FXO,5th place finish brought him to 5 points gap to leader,all of them chased by winner of 3 rounds in 4th position.

Team S1dus lost a point of their lead and is now 15 ahead of defending champions B2R,RGA is still 3rd,but already 55 points off lead,so they're racing to defend 3rd position now. Lithuania nibbled 3 points of Finland's lead,but defending champions are still massive 52 points ahead,Poland is still 3rd and already 89 points off lead. The leading car XRT did not score a point despite having 1 car in the field,but their lead has been reduced by just a single point (only 4 highest scores count) - Fraud Wheeler is 14 points away from top of the table. Raceabout is the new 3rd position,but has 3 other cars very close in the table.


19 different cars were used in this race by 23 drivers,a total of 27 were drawn,one of those to 4 drivers - Acosta now broke the tie and is now most drawn car,leaving Talot in 2nd place (just 1 draw).
Several new bests and repetitions of car results have been set during this race - TJ's 2nd place in qualifying and racewin were exact repetitions of MZG Sedan's best results. Lagooga set new bests for Raceabout - 4th place in qualifying and 2nd place in race both were one position better than Nosle's achievement just over 2 years ago. Loco qualified 5th and finished 3rd with the lightweight Stellar,which beats Mandula's result in exactly same track last season - previous bests were 7th in qualifying and 4th in race. Twincam raced the high-tech Adda to 6th position in this race,which is 2 positions better than the result Thehemuli achieved in last season's 1 hour long finale,8th position in qualifying was just a repetition of the best result. Trespasser redrew the GT-V 2600GTX when receiving it for previous round,but the randomizer stayed stubborn and awarded hin the same car also for this round - the lithuanian had no options than to set the initial best results for this car,which are 12th position in qualifying and 10th in race. Aplatz repeated exactly both best positions with Dash - 14th in qualifying and 11th in race,both set by Jsk last season.


There is a limitation of 2 track selections per season,so with 3rd race win,TJ is locked out from selection,which has been relayed to 2nd place finisher - he still has not replied and he has time until midnight of sunday to submit next track selection.

The following entries have not attended for 2 rounds in row and therefor have been marked as inactive - that means they will not be added to upcoming car draw:

If anyone wants to make something rather unique but running out of ideas,how about this one?



It's Vector W8 Twin-Turbo hailing from late 80ies,produced just 22 times,so it's something very rare - cool to have in our simuator. I just hope it won't be made by someone thinking it needs to have F1 downforce just because it looks so racy...

This post will be edited after draw to add cars names to drivers!
New signups will receive their cars drawn in 2nd wave (20 minutes before qualifying)!

Last edited by Eclipsed, Mon 28 Jul 2025, 17:04. Reason : Added car names to drivers

On short notice there is another update in cars lineup before 2025 round 7 - during latest update the BAVARIA A30 N POWER EVO received additional 70+ kilograms of weight and even when removing the previous restriction of 1%,the car receives just 5 hp additional power,which is not enough to compensate weight gain,effectivelly rendering the car uncompetitive in RandomCar's PL200 class. This forces the organization to retire the car from series just an hour before 1st cars draw of oncoming round.

The 2-door coupe was added exactly 1 year ago due receiving approved mod status,was drawn 11 times (twice to Master,who never used it),best round results were achieved by Kyril in 2024 round 9 in Rockingham ISSC Long - 4th position in qualifying and 8th in race. It was placed 36th in 2024 Manufacturers championship and in equal competition of this season currently sits in 24th position after 6 rounds (3 results).

From the latest post by Scawen it looks like only breach were people entering their LFS username and password in other websites or apps. Sounds harsh,but that's pretty much their own stupidity.

Car redraw option:
Each driver receives one chance during the season to redraw the car that has been drawn. This option can be used only if car has been drawn during 1st wave of cars draw and the driver will be added to list of 2nd wave of cars draw. Please note that redrawing car means a 2.4% chance of drawing the same car also with 2nd try - in that case the driver has to use the drawn car and the redraw option will be reactivated for new use in future round. Option availability is marked in Drivers championship tab in spreadsheets right behind driver's name (✓ = available,x = not available). To use the option,write here a post with word "Redraw" before signups closure for round (16:30UTC)!

Round 6 was held in very custom racetrack,therefor any car restriction evaluations were not taken,but between the rounds 6 and 7 there was the last new car voting in this season - with some advantage a new car made it in the cars list,making it 43 cars long.

CAMMERA 773 GT2 is a newer generation of another Cammera found in RC cars list and also the 3rd rear engined/rear wheels driven car besides it's older brother and the LFS's own FZ5. It requires 40% intake restriction to be on same pace as other series' cars and by being pretty much on average weight and having rather wide tyres and some downforce,it will be a car to wish for most of track types - the car was featured in the test race between seasons and when running 1% lower restriction,it pretty much dominated it.

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)

This was supposed to be a nice celebration race of very first RTFR visit to this track configuration when racing it in reversed direction. However for some reason several drivers forgot about generic track limits rules and threw fair racing out of window when searching for the few tenths of a second advantage over rivals - some even used situations where shortcut blocking tyres were kicked away by driver ahead and just went straight through the grass patch of first chicane. It was decided to use the same system of penalties which was used in the badly famous 55th RTFR XL:

• 2/3 of covered laps count (26 or more violations in full distance) - disqualification from race results
• 1/2 - 2/3 of covered laps count (20-25 violations in full distance) - 45 seconds penalty added to finish time
• 1/3 - 1/2 of covered laps count (13-19 violations in full distance) - 30 seconds penalty added to finish time
• 1/5 - 1/3 of covered laps count (8-12 violations in full distance) - 15 seconds penalty added to finish time
• 3 - 7 violations - warning

Additionally fastest laps in qualifying were checked and everyone violating track limits in their fastest lap will receive 5 seconds penalty added to finish time.

NOTE: track limit violation counts if driver has left track with more than 2 wheels voluntary and without outside influence.


* PENALTIES :
• The following drivers receives 5 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on their fastest lap in qualifying - unfair grid position gain (marked with red circle in session results):
- RGˆDzidoris ; Sh4mall- ; [TC-R] Adam ; [WCL] Arska ; ZFRL•Motimoukari ; GenR uNite ; /SRP/ HachiRoku ; Nuwanda

• The following driver receives a DISQUALIFICATON from race results for track limits violations during the race:
- [MRc] Michal (28 violations)

• The following drivers receives a 45 seconds penalty added to finish time for track limits violations during the race:
- GenR uNite (23 violations)
- Sh4mall- (23 violations)

• The following drivers receives a 30 seconds penalty added to finish time for track limits violations during the race:
- RGˆDzidoris (17 violations)
- [WCL] Arska (13 violations)

• The following driver receives a 15 seconds penalty added to finish time for track limits violations during the race:
- GenR Ricardo (10 violations)

• The following drivers receives a WARNING for track limits violations during the race:
- RGˆNOSLE (7 violations)
- RGˆM@CI3K (4 violations)
- Nuwanda (3 violations)

• Additionally each drivers fastest lap was checked and marked red in race results if invalid - therefor cannot receive rating points for fastest lap.

Sh4mall- - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.
Nuwanda - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.

* GenR uNite and Sh4mall- - penalties result in loss of last completed lap.

The last race between scored seasons was run with another rather old car - the Spottedkitten is based on an english coupe from 60ies,not a lightweight car as you might expect from the era,which caused quite high tyre heating problems. This benefited drivers who took care of throttle input and cornering loads better than others,rather than sheer pace. 22 drivers qualified for the race,2 of them did not attempt to start the 39 laps race,another 4 retired,leaving 16 drivers on scoresheet - one with disqualification though.

On the results sheets it looks like a dominance of Ricardo - a driver with already 2 attendances in RTFR,however to find his stats,you have to dig very deep into history as his previous race was in the far 90th RTFR (2014) while in the 51st RTFR (2013) he achieved his previous pole position. Now more than 12 years later the portugese driver added the 2nd pole position to his stats (by setting the fastest legal time in session),led 33 laps of the 39 laps race and despite 15 seconds penalty for track limits violations,still was scored as race winner - that's 1 position better than his only previous finishing result,which is also the 1st RTFR race win for drivers from Portugal. Unlike most of the top drivers in this race,Thehemuli kept his car within track limits for the majority of the race - that promoted him 3 positions higher than his original finishing position to 2nd place finish,which is a repeat of his best finish and 21st top5 finish. Also S.Martin climbed 3 positions between finish and results finalization - the 3rd place in official results is 1 position better than his previous best (and until this race also only top5 finish),achieved just 4 weeks ago - he was the highest finishing driver without any track limits violations. Nosle was promoted to 4th position in results,which is his 5th top5 finish in RTFR,J.A.Katila climbed even 4 spots in results to achieve 5th position - his 1st top5 finish since 286th RTFR (summer 2022) and 27th overall. Still one driver left to mention - Dzidoris was the fastest in qualifying,however illegally,so his pole position was revoked,but despite 17 track limits violations,his fastest lap of the race turned out to be legal,which is his 4th of these.

The organization received another reminder of not leaving possible shortcuts free - expect more unmovable objects in future to prevent this. The 2025 season 2 will start in less than 2 weeks with a race with one of the slick tyre cars,but until then there is another tuesday - this one will belong to RandomCar,which will have it's 7th round of this season held in South City's Chicane Route reversed,luckily without fears of track limits violations. Full information and server will be posted/set up later today.

Last race featured the slowest default LFS car,4 weeks later we raised the speeds by quite a lot by losing weight and adding power - the ideologic sibling of Catherham was featured in latest RTFR XL race. LX4 however is the slower of the 2 LX cars as it has "just" 140 horsepower,but with dry weight just a kilogram under half ton it's still in the quicker half of LFS street legal cars,especially in twisty circuits like the one we run this week. Standard Fern Bay Black in reversed direction was the venue for previous LX4 race in RTFR XL,this time we run pretty much same track but differently mixxed,which resulted in longer back straight and very tricky first turns section. With just 20 drivers qualifying,this was already under all time average attendance numbers,but competition for most positions was still very alive.

The 2-time RTFR XL race winner A.Valta was the first one and during qualifying also the only one to break the 2 minutes and 44 seconds laptime mark,with this the finn scored his 2nd pole position. During the race he led every single meter until diving into pitlane just before completing half distance,but returned to race lead undisturbed and despite seeing a competitor in distance slowly growing in his mirror,never really had doubts about race winner - 3rd RTFR XL race win goes into normal RTFR 2024 S2 champion's account,scoring him also 5th top5 finish out of 5 starts. 2 other drivers also were able to beat the 2:44 laptime mark during the race,one of them retired due rolling car,other one finished 2nd within distance of visibility,however was demoted further in time due penalty - the winner of previous race and selector of this combo Trespasser tried hard but had to settle for 2nd place finish which is his 3rd different podium finish in latest 3 races,but at least he added his 1st ever fastest lap to his stats and also 3rd top5 finish. The 2 time RTFR standings winner R.Kardol was nowhere near the chances for race win,but still was good enough to take 3rd place finish home to score the record extending 55th top5 finish. The debutant Samet made a bid for podium finish this tuesday,however the penalty for shorter pitstop demoted him from originally taken 3rd place finish to 4th position in results. Top5 was closed by Thehemuli,who scored his 8th top5 finish - this resulted in top6 finishing in exactly same order as they started without taking 2nd place starter into account as he retired.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Since introduction of car mods in LFS,RTFR XL never had more than 3 races with standard cars in row - this record was broken this week as the eligible drivers (and also voting) opted for 4 LFS default cars in row,this streak however end now as a mod has been selected for next race.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Despite needing just about 24 kilograms of fuel for whole race distace,majority still opted for fuel refill in pits and just 3 drivers went for work free pitstop,one of them leaving pitstall 0.16s too early - the race organizer did not had much competition for this mention with his 10.04 seconds pitstop,0.08s faster than the other legal one.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Also here the race organizer put his name on top - with 4 positions gain between start and finish,he had twice as much progress as several other drivers.

VOD at Youtube:


Next RTFR XL combo is already known - both car and track have been used once in normal RTFR,however not together. The Ereso was featured in exiting race in Rockingham's Oval less than 3 months ago,in 4 weeks it will make it's debut in RTFR XL also in Rockingham,however making a very long way around the straight between oval turns 3 and 4 - we will use Rockingham Extended ISSC custom configuration,run in 291st RTFR in october of 2022. Full details and estimated race distance will be found out later this week,just like also the combo for normal RTFR in next tuesday - all we know it will be a race with one of the road tyres wearing mods.

NOTE ABOUT RACE DISTANCE:
Due lack of activity in laptime testing in past for the custom combos,it has been decided to give an estimated lapcount in information. The actual lapcount will be announced after qualifying as it will be calculated using fastest laptime in qualifying (same rule as always - minumum lapcount to exceed 75 minutes).

Server will be password protected 1 hour before qualifying start to keep not knowing crowded server jumpers out of way,pass will be always the same: green

Pitting rules:
Race requires a minimum time spent in pitstall of 10 seconds. That can be done either with single pitstop or sum of multiple pitstops. Driver who has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by tripling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 5 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 1 minute penalty added to finish time (10s*3 + additional 30s).

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)


2 weeks ago RTFR went as deep into car racing history as ever,yesterday we moved forward in time and run a car from much more modern era - the era where cars were getting more powerful engines,some basing aerodynamic help and grip of early generation slick tyres. And all that while driving simple thin glass fiber clad steel tube frame,which did not have much weight,creating somewhat specific handling traits - soft throttle foot was not an option,but highly needed to survive a lap. Running races in safe environment compared to real races allows us some experiments - this time it was a race with such car in an urban environment,track fully surrounded by steel and concrete barriers posing additional challenges to drivers. Challenges were high enough to reach lowest attendance number in 1.5 years - only 19 drivers qualified for this race,2 less were standing on grid waiting for green lights. Just 4 drivers retired,so atrition level was not too high,however finishers count include 2 rejoiners who took a closer look on other side of barriers during 1st lap.

Brazilian driver TJ started slow into this event - took a while until he found some pace to qualify in 4th position,but he kept the progress also during the race,eventually catching race leader and passing him to keep the lead for the remaining 20 laps to cross the finish line as race winner. It was his 5th RTFR race win for him and also 17th top5 finish. Thehemuli passed the polesitter for lead on lap 5 and set a bid for his 1st RTFR race win,but could not keep up constant pace for that and had to settle for yet another 2nd place finish,scoring his 20th top5 finish,however 10 laps he spent in race lead are 10 times more than he managed in all races before. 3rd in finish was a finnish driver who latelly has a trait to use some alias for races in community,this time under name Leo Kinnunen he set the fastest laptime during the race to score his 29th fastest lap of the race (now sole all time 2nd most),but run out of laps on his chase for leader and finished 3rd to score his 97th top5 finish. Winner of previous race was pretty much unrelevant for win this week - Trespasser qualified in low 11th position,made some passes at least to finish 4th - 4 is also the count of his top5 finishes. Out of nowhere there was a sudden brand new polesitter - Craaach's previous best qualifying result was 9th,achieved 9 races ago. But the polish polesitter led only 4 race laps and slipped further down the field,settling for 5th place finish - that's also 8 positions better than his previous best result.


After few non-championship RTFR races,next week's race will count towards standings - it's the july race of RTFR XL,featuring an LX4 in customized version of Fern Bay Black,which is expected to be 27 laps long as laptimes will be well above 2 and a half minutes. In 2 weeks normal RTFR will return with one of the road tyre cars and that will be the last off-season race of this summer.

Not surprisingly this round was the least attended round of the season - as usually custom tracks scare some learn restricted drivers away while others probably opted enjoying the warm weather outside. 20 drivers however qualified for this round,which is 1 more than half of all active listed series drivers - with absense of 2 on grid,it was 1 less than half of active drivers. 17 of the 18 starters finished the race,only casualty being struck by connection issue. The round itself turned out to be quite a domain of mid-engined cars - 3 different models of this layout featured in top3 of both sessions.

Despite losing more than 1/3 of a second on fastest lap in qualifying,2nd place starter Adam pretty much dominated the race - he took over the lead already in the 1st turns complex of the 1st lap and never saw another car in front of him again. After leading all 17 laps,Adam crossed finish line to score his 1st RandomCar race win,2nd for his Acosta Starlin and 5th for UK. Aplazt never had any high success in this series - his best finishing result before was 8th,but this week running with XF Turbo 5 he had the best race here as he kept solidly 2nd place for majority of the race to finish also in this position. For 2nd race in row,fastest in qualifying was TJ,this time running other mid-engined coupe URC1,however in this round in his own built track,he had such a weak start - the brazilian fell down in order and could rescue only 3rd place finish from this race.


Standings leader did not attend this round,but still kept his top position in table and lost 12 of 16 points advantage,closest rival Thehemuli finished just 9th in this round,3rd place driver in standings also is unchanged - Unite is now 13 points behind leader.

Also in teams standings there are no changes besides point gaps - S1dus still leads,but their lead has been decreased by 10 points - defending champions B2R are now 16 points apart,RGA is still 3rd with 40 points gap to table lead,interestingly keeping points gap status quo for 2nd round in row with their closest rivals from behind. Also in nations championship leaders saw their points gap reduced,however Finland lost just 2 points from it's big lead and is still 55 points ahead of Lithuania,Poland is still 3rd,already 70 points off lead. Top4 cars did not score a single point in this round and they kept their positions - XRT still leads by 15 points over Fraud Wheeler and 23 over Nortz.


24 different cars were drawn for this round,however just 15 were used. Most drawn was Stellar with 3 draws,from which 2 attended. Both all time most drawn cars received 2 draws and remained tied for most draws - Acosta and Talot. What's more interesting - majority of drivers received a car for the 1st time with only 5 exceptions,only 2 of them were actually running in the race.
Just a single best result of a car was improved during this round - Madjester was 5th in qualifying with the FZ70,beating Thehemuli's set 9th position,however 6th position in race was just a repeat.


Round 7 will be 5th visit of RandomCar in South City,2nd already this year - also 2nd in the Chicane Route reversed,which was run last year as round 4,race back then was won by Nortz,deffinitelly a car you might want to get in draw.
