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).

2nd race in row with 400+ horsepower cars and 2nd race in row same winner. And 3rd race in row with just over 20 drivers attendance despite relatively difficult combo. The concrete and armcos canyon of South City poses a challenge of it's own by default,adding competition in the mix made the race as tricky as always in our famous London borough.
The combo picker Litti used the advantage and took most of the glory - he was fastest in qualifying and earned his 5th pole position (tied 2nd most),led half of the race laps and with it passing 200 laps led mark,and what's most important - crossed the finish line to score his 5th RTFR XL racewin (3rd most),adding 6th top5 finish to his stats. Current standings and rating leader R.Kardol finished 2nd for the first time this year and scored his 10th top5 finish of 10 races this year,he also reached a quarter century of top5 finishes overall. Gábor had an incident which probably cost a position,so he finished 3rd,which is his 10th top5 finish,while he set also fastest lap of the race - his 3rd. Also True Alpha scored his 10th top5 finish by finishing 4th,Unite finished 5th which is his 12th top5 finish.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
This actually was not first time when FZR was run at South City's Town Course in RTFR - the 8th RTFRi in april of 2011 was held in this combo and it was the first of 5 wins for Litro. Fastest lap of the race was 1:13.37 - a total of 10 drivers were able to set a fastest lap this week (just 7 beat the pole position time of the 8th RTFRi). The only driver in both these races was of course yours truly - man I feel old.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Noone managed to finish the race distance without any pitwork,so the mention goes simply to shortest legal pitstop - Litti got a set of new tyres and splash of fuel in his 16.13 seconds pitstop.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
True Alpha used his previous winner's rights to start the race without qualifying from back of the grid and rallied through the field to finish 4th - no need to count positions for this case as this one is obvious.
* HONORABLE MENTION :
Goes to only driver to finish the race on same set of tyres he started - Fatass slowed down before starting final lap to get lapped though,so he did not completed whole race distance of 64 laps.
VOD at Youtube:
Once again Litti takes his time to reply message asking him for next combo which is his final chance to select one this year (max 2 in row allowed) - all the fastest cars are currently locked,so in november we will race something at least a class slower. But next week it will be time for normal RTFR edition,full information will be posted already tomorrow.
