LX6 is one of the LFS' most challenging cars which usually scares some drivers away and the attendance stats kinda shows that in hidden way - despite 41 drivers being classified as qualified for the race,just 36 cars were on grid - lowest value this year,allthough just by a single car. Still the amount of cars around 3 kilometer track is big and there was plenty of action as always,broadcasters could not decide which battle to show at few moments.
The driver,who has significantly increased his activity this year,was on top of the game also this week - just a day after his AWS round 6 win,V.Laguckas left no real chances to competition also on tuesday,leading all 23 laps of this race and starting his 2nd winning streak in RTFR. The lithuanian might not had dominated this event,but still collected all the big achievements - it was already his 6th racewin,10th pole position (7th driver ever to score 10 or more pole positions in RTFR),4th fastest lap of the race and 9th top5 finish. Last year's best driver R.Kardol was near leader all the time (just 0.14s off pole position and in sight of race leader whole race long),but never had the pace to actually challenge for race win - 55th top5 finish for the dutchman. 2nd best driver of last year was accordingly 3rd best this week - Unite took the last step on the podium and scored his 54th top5 finish. Remaining drivers in top5 were another 2 finns - previous RTFR race winner Arska finished 4th collecting his 15th top5 finish,followed very closely by Fatal,to whom it was 6th top5 finish.
