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).

After just 6 races break,the LFS slowest standard car returned to RTFR XL,this time in one of the longest tracks of LFS - Aston Historic,which made it's return after just 2 races break. This combo resulted in laptimes over 3 and a half minutes,despite having not much sections where drivers could not simply drive flat out,it wasn't very popular - 25 drivers qualified for the race (few more attempted),grid had only 23 drivers from which 6 retired before at least reaching half of the distance - 17 finishers is still the 2nd highest count in the past 5 races.
The last year in RTFR XL had 4 different winners - 3 single race winners and one repeating name filling rest of the entries,this race produced the 5th different driver in victory lane in past 13 races and 33rd overall. A lithuanian driver trespassed the domain of usual winner by beating him in qualifying to score his 1st pole position and despite slow start and few direct battles on track,beat the hungarian also for race win,to add also his name in RTFR XL winners club. This was also Trespasser's 3rd top5 finish out of 3 race starts. The usual winner Gábor had to concede this time and settle for 2nd place finish,scoring his 28th top5 finish. TJ turned out to be the only driver to beat 3:37 laptime mark - that happened during late phase of the race,scoring the first ever fastest lap of the race for all the brazilian drivers,but single lap pace was not enough for anything higher that 3rd place finish,which is his 4th top5 finish and 10th for brazilians. If 3rd place finisher gained a position during race,4th place finisher lost it - Unite finished 4th to score his 32nd top5 finish,tying the organizer for all time 2nd most. The only driver to not lead a lap between top5 finishers was Michal,who also gained a single position during the race,scoring his 9th top5 finish.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Such low lapcount races in RTFR XL is actually quite rare - this race with it's 21 laps race distance was the 2nd lowest lapcount in the RTFR XL history. The lowest still is the LX4 race in over 10km long Schwarzwald custom track,which produced laptimes over 5 minutes.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
This car needed less than 40% of car's fuel tank to complete the race,which is just 10kg of weight,which meant many drivers opted for work free pitstop. Best of them was S.Martin,who had a 10.21 seconds long pitstop right after completing 2/3 of the race.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
This was only the 2nd RTFR XL race for R.Guy and he managed to draw attention to himself already - he started 21st and finished 13th (just repeating the result of previous race),gaining a total of 8 positions between start and finish - 2 more than 2nd best positions gainer.
VOD at Youtube:
In 4 weeks next RTFR XL will take place,however currently it's unknown where and with what car - the brand new race winner still has to submit his decision. Next week normal RTFR will return in a bit more casual atmosphere - it will be the 1st of 3 off season events,so we might try to test some less popular cars or even try more different tracks,info about that as always will be posted during the weekend.
