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).

Even if has traction control,wide grippy tyres and plenty of downforce,LFS's fastest standard car is still a lot of challenge to everyone - the 2006 BMW Sauber formula one car has 720 horsepower coupled with dry weight just over half a ton. That helps it to reach high speeds quickly and go through turns faster than any other car in the cars list,demanding from drivers fast reflexes and mental endurance also for just a 30 minutes race. In the only real world track of our beloved racing simulator formula one cars have been run just for show purposes as none of the configurations is deemed to suit the highest class racecars,this is where the simulator jumps in - to answer some "what if..." questions and this tuesday we answered a question "what if Rockingham's 3.1 kilometer long ISSC configuration would have been part of F1 2006 schedule?"
The distance was just 1/3 of a normal grand prix distance,so we cannot give you a full answer,but the winner of this race would surely describe it as "traffic rich race" - Gábor lapped all but 5 rivals in the short race on his flag to flag ride in the lead to the victory lane. Luckily the damage is not simulated fully realistic,so he could finish with minor damage from few contacts - the hungarian was able to win the 5th race from past 7 races and 26th race overall,scoring also 52nd top5 finish,19th pole position and 21st fastest lap of the race,the latter was also 30th for Hungary. Gábor's only actual rival was his teammate R.Kardol,who was the only other driver to beat the 1 minute mark in qualifying and finished "just" 7 seconds off lead to score his 80th top5 finish. There was another driver to be kind of "on par" with the race winner - Zesty tied Gábor's fastest lap of the race on the final lap to score his 1st ever fastest lap,while also improving his previous best finishing position by one as he finished third,adding 4th top5 finish to his achievements. The winner of previous RTFR race finished 4th this week to take 3rd top5 finish in row and 11th overall,while M.Túlio closed the top5 in his 2nd RTFR attendance,improving finishing position massivelly from his previous attempt,which was 19th place finish 4 weeks ago.

Next week it is time for the extended RTFR version - 2 days after the 8 hours long warm up with the same car in different track,drivers will be tasked to tackle the longest standard configuration of Kyoto in the way the devs built it - without any additional chicanes. After the negativelly famous 55th RTFR XL,which was run in same track,RGE has learned from experience and will mark the track limits with a lot of objects to avoid drivers misusing the "freedom" - full information of the race will be posted tomorrow. Two weeks from latest race normal RTFR will return with one of the street legal cars being run under the swelming sun - more hints you can get from broadcast of previous race. In 3 weeks the server will be taken over by RandomCar racers,who will find out fate of all possible titles in series' season finale at Westhill's North RGE configuration.

PENALTIES:
SGﾏ MadJester - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.
- - - - - - - - - -
The brand new VERL round FoRGE 200 did not gather up a lot of drivers,but still enough to not get the race shortened due low attendance - 9 drivers is the minimum for full 200 kilometers race per rules. Of course the tricky and tight track coupled with powerful single seater had it's toll on the drivers - one third of them retired before completing points scoring distance.
2 out of 2 - so far a perfect season for the new recruit of the series organizing team. Just like 2 weeks ago as a privateer,RD2 crossed the finish line first,but this time he led less than a half of the race - starting from row 2 the bulgarian advanced through field by simply passing the rivals while they were in pitlane and beat them with much shorter pitstop. Thehemuli seemed to be the faster one in this race,but spent over 20 seconds in pitstop,losing lead and grip on potential race win,however he set the fastest lap of the race to score at least an additional point. Rony made 2 RGA members on the podium by finishing 3rd and last on lead lap. Just like in 1st round the pole position honors did not bring good results - Texas made his 1st appearance this season by being fastest in qualifying,scoring his 1st VERL pole position,but few contacts here and there forced him to early pitstop,which dropped him down the order until he retired.
Two times 20 points plus the 2 attendance bonus points equals in 8 points lead in standings after 2 rounds for RD2 - the rookie has now extended his lead. His closest rival is now Thehemuli,who's 2nd with a 10 points gap over 3rd place - Rony. RD2's lead in rookie of the year standings is even bigger - his closest rival from round 1 retired early and did not score a single point,growing the gap to 22 points,Madjester is 3rd with same points count,losing on tiebreaker.
Leaders from round 1 Zafiralis had a better round this time by scoring 6 points more,but their lead has been cut to 2 points as defending champions RGA scored even more thanks to their new recruit. MRc is now 3rd with a 27 points deficite to top of the table. In nations standings things returned to old order - defending champions Finland jumped in the lead and is now 9 points ahead of single driver nation Bulgaria. The surprise leaders after round 1 Brazil have dropped down to 3rd position without scoring a single point in round 2.
Round 3 will bring another new configuration to VERL - even if the South City's Chicane Route has been used already 3 times in the league,all were in reversed direction. Now in the 2nd season of the turbo era the 2.9 kilometers configuration will be run in the original direction to offer racers a fast paced race in an urban environment - with 3 weeks gap from previous round the South City 200 will be a battle of nerves!

Sunday,24th September
17:00 UTC / 19:00 CET / 20:00 EET
600 horsepower single seater in relativelly narrow track alone is a difficult task,but if the narrow track features tight turns,that will challenge the racers to their limits - controlling the power on slow turns,having the car fast on the 2 straights,each one kilometer long,will be the key to high positions this sunday. The track is brand new and created just before the season,so everyone will have same point to start from in terms of track experience - who will be able to adapt quicker?
After 1st round the standings leader is the winner of the 1st race,but with 4 rounds still to come,we have nothing but some potential trends of the season,however everyone is still eligible for the glory - even racers joining the season just now as the disadvantage of not having any points yet is very possible to overcome. Will any of the previous champions and other skilled drivers take the challenge and join series?

Reason : Changed 3rd driver of LMP
Official results
After the low activity of the vacation month,september race brought once again over 20 drivers to RandomCar racing as the series start to heat up - after this round only the season finale is left. This week we were racing in Kyoto's non-standard configuration known under the name North,where from our side the straights were slightly extended adding hairpins on both ends of start/finish straight (flat out curve). A total of 17 different cars were represented making the field very variating.
8 rounds of the series brought 8 different winners from 7 different countries,this trend was bound to end at some point for sure,but besides the repeated winner,we have also the 1st winning streak of a driver - the winner of round 8 Thehemuli found himself on front of the field also in round 9,however this time he did not led the whole race,just the latest 4 laps after progressing through field from the 7th place on grid. He scored the 1st ever win for the rear wheel driven compact car Talot Suns Lomis. R.Kardol got drawn his winning car of round 7 MZG Sedan and set the sights on himself as potential 1st multiple winner of the league,but after leading 12 laps,he had to give up the lead to to charging finn,so all he could do is to defend the 2nd place finisher award,setting also the fastest lap of the race. Arska qualified first and scored the 1st ever pole position for himself,his team and also for the LFS's home grown XRT,but lost race lead already entering turn one,eventually losing another position to finish 3rd,scoring 2nd podium finish for himself and highest ever finishing position for XRT.
With a single round left ahead,the championship standings are as heated up as you can - the season finale with 1 hour race will score double points for finishing positions,so in theory the top10 drivers in standings are still eligible for drivers championship title,however the 56 points from a single round are possible from practically full grid. Realistically the title chances have 4 best drivers with another 2 being long range outsiders - Nosle has taken over the standings lead with his 5th place finish this week and his 7 points lead means that 2nd place finish or even a win in final round would grant him the title without the need to calculate points of competition. There are 2 drivers with 7 points gap to standings leader - R.Kardol,who is 2nd due tiebreaker over RD2,the absent V.Lagooga is 9 points off the lead. The winner of latest 2 rounds Thehemuli is the better of the 2 outsiders as he's with 20 points deficit.
Also teams championship is heated up - now just 2 points seperate the leaders S1dus from closest rivals RGA. B2R have lost even more ground and with 31 points gap their chances are still there,but rather unrealistic. In theory another 2 teams are eligible to win the title,however both finnish based teams will have to battle between each other for 4th position - Zafiralis is a single point ahead of WCL. With lower activity of lithuanian drivers,the country has now lost the lead in nations championship for the first time and are 17 points behind the new leader Finland - with the double points scoring round ahead Lithuania's chances are still good,but they need to overperform quite a lot. No other country has even theoretical chances for the title,so the intrigue for them is left only in battle for 3rd position,currently taken by driver's standings leader's country Luxembourg. Also manufacturers championship will be settled in final round - the early season dominator URC1 has scored only 22 points in last 4 rounds,so it's lead is just a slim 4 points over Tasl,Imprezzive is just another point apart. A total of 6 cars are still eligible for the award,however the FXO in 4th position with 26 points deficit is already quite an outsider.
The draw happened to spread out well for this round - just 5 of 26 cars were not drawn while FZ5 and XM-5 were the most popular getting just 3 drivers each. Imprezzive is still randomresult's favourite - it has been drawn 29 times this season,4 of those fell for T.Soini,who is the 1st and currently only driver to get same car for 4 rounds - will the final round make it 50%?
Season finale will be carried out in Westhill - for the 2nd race in row it will be a custom configuration carrying the word "North" in it (coincidentally selected by a driver from nordic country). It's a 6.16 kilometer course,partially running in Westhill's 2 backstraights and the connecting turns,before exiting the big racetrack for support roads section,which with it's high speed bends will stress drivers to the maximum. As announced,the season finale will be a 1 hour timed race without planned specific lapcount,however results of 129th RTFR suggest it will be a 24 laps race unless someone is fast enough to break the 2:30 mark for majority of the race - the best time with unrestricted FXO was 2:29.64,while the cars in series are balanced around FXO with 14hp less power.

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)
From old classic with new twist RTFR this week went to new classic with same old LFS's base car - the 140 horsepower XRG was run in the 1st high quality racetrack of LFS. As always the relativelly slow car on decently fast track produced some pack racing,creating plenty of action on track as you can see on the broadcast recording. This race brought an end to a single driver domination,which lasted actually whole RTFR 2023 season 2 - after 4 races there are now 2 different race winners.
The honors were taken by the GTi car specialist Mantas,who was fastest whole day long - first he scored his first ever pole position in RTFR (he has already 3 of those in the longer version RTFR XL however),even if with smaller gap than in qualifying,in the race he also set the fastest lap of the race,which is also his first ever in RTFR,and after leading all 16 laps the lithuanian crossed the finish line to score his 2nd RTFR race win,becoming the 43rd driver with multiple race wins in the series,additionally rounding up his top5 count to 10. The owner of the alive 3 races winning streak Gábor could only follow the race leader and hope for some luck to keep the winning streak alive,but after 16 laps chase he saw his streak end with his own eyes from 7 seconds worth of distance,the 2nd place finish is the hungarian's 51st top5 finish. Despite trying hard in early race phase,Unite could not find way pass his teammate and eventually lost some ground to him,3rd place finish for the finn is his 73rd top5 finish. Ric98 is the highest finisher between those who changed position between start and finish - with a gain of 1 position the brazilian finished 4th to score his best ever result in RTFR,3rd top5 finish for him. Twincam gained even more positions to finish 5th,which is his 4th top5 finish - this made yet another 5 nations top5,which is becoming a trend latelly.

Next up in RTFR action schedule is practice session for next RTFR XL - the server has been set up with combo of next RTFR XL (actual race will be run in 3 weeks). As always a combo that does not have an official WR has to be run to find out best possible laptime for distance calculation - please join RTFR server (join link in opening post of the thread) and try your best effort of PROTOTYPE 2 @ KY GP Long,the good news is that Airio's !top command works with this car. Next week in RTFR server there will be no RTFR race,but a race of the other tuesday series - RandomCar will host it's penultimate round of the season,run in Kyoto's North Hairpins configuration.

From old classic with new twist RTFR this week went to new classic with same old LFS's base car - the 140 horsepower XRG was run in the 1st high quality racetrack of LFS. As always the relativelly slow car on decently fast track produced some pack racing,creating plenty of action on track as you can see on the broadcast recording. This race brought an end to a single driver domination,which lasted actually whole RTFR 2023 season 2 - after 4 races there are now 2 different race winners.
The honors were taken by the GTi car specialist Mantas,who was fastest whole day long - first he scored his first ever pole position in RTFR (he has already 3 of those in the longer version RTFR XL however),even if with smaller gap than in qualifying,in the race he also set the fastest lap of the race,which is also his first ever in RTFR,and after leading all 16 laps the lithuanian crossed the finish line to score his 2nd RTFR race win,becoming the 43rd driver with multiple race wins in the series,additionally rounding up his top5 count to 10. The owner of the alive 3 races winning streak Gábor could only follow the race leader and hope for some luck to keep the winning streak alive,but after 16 laps chase he saw his streak end with his own eyes from 7 seconds worth of distance,the 2nd place finish is the hungarian's 51st top5 finish. Despite trying hard in early race phase,Unite could not find way pass his teammate and eventually lost some ground to him,3rd place finish for the finn is his 73rd top5 finish. Ric98 is the highest finisher between those who changed position between start and finish - with a gain of 1 position the brazilian finished 4th to score his best ever result in RTFR,3rd top5 finish for him. Twincam gained even more positions to finish 5th,which is his 4th top5 finish - this made yet another 5 nations top5,which is becoming a trend latelly.

PENALTIES:
[MRc] Zesty - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.
- - - - - - - - - -
The 9th season started with a bang at the Aston - this round counted a total of 16 competitors,which is actually a new attendance record of the turbo era,as last season's highest attendance was only 14. However one of the drivers did not start,3 others retired before completing points scoring distance,leaving the finishers count to 12 - all of them finished full race distance as the long lap helped to avoid being lapped. Without a single previous series champion being signed up,the race for high positions was a mix of league's experienced drivers and rookies with experience elsewhere.
2 rookies took top 2 positions - the winner of RandomCar inaugural race celebrated victory also in the season opener of VERL 2023. The bulgarian RD2 started the race from outside of front row,took over race lead before entering turn 1 and led the whole 23 laps race,leaving a safe 11 seconds gap over competition in the finish. M.Túlio qualified just 5th,but during race found way pass plenty of competitors to finish 2nd,setting a new lap record in the final lap of the race to score the bonus point for fastest lap. Last season's 3rd best racer Thehemuli continued his series journey with a 3rd place finish in 1st race of his 3rd season. The series 1st leader this season was Zesty,who scored 1st point in qualifying by setting best laptime in session,but his race was plagued by multiple incidents which pushed him down the order to finish 6th.
Standings order after 1st race of course is same as finishing order of the race,RD2 currently leads standings by 2 points over M.Túlio,Thehemuli is 3rd with 6 points gap to leader. Since the series is led by 2 rookies,the standings of the rookie competition is also similar,just 3rd position is different - Sixmoon is there with 8 points gap to leader.
2nd best team of last year takes the lead in teams championship after the 1st round - Zafiralis has a very slim lead of 1 point over Master Race car,Roda Presa is 3rd with 9 points gap,just like the defending champions RGA. Brazil has been present in series in many seasons,but without particular success - their best result was 7th in 2019,when they scored 25 points,this season the south americans started with huge step up by scoring 30 points in 1st round alone and leads the nations standings by 9 points over defending champions Finland. Bulgaria is 3rd another one point back due sole effort of the race winner.
If round 1 track was new to series,it was still well known track for LFS racers in general,however something brand new is set up for 2nd round of the season - the 3.2 kilometer FoRGE Viaduct 8 is set up in our newest environment Layout Square. The track consists of 2 straights,each a kilometer long and series of quite slow corners,forcing the drivers hold back the full throttle usage. Finding the most speed through slow sections without sacrificing top speed in straights should be the key for success in round 2.
Formatting PC cannot affect your licence status,so the problem must be somewhere else. I've seen multiple times people complaining about lost licence status,which eventually turned out to be a mistake - they simply logged in their 2nd account,do you have multiple accounts? The account you posted from has no online activity at all.
The winner of latest voting adds the 5th mid-engined rear wheel driven car to the lineup,which a car with the oldest heritage in racing,hailing from the 60ies - FRAUD 040. Besides the Coquette,it's the 2nd car with a V8 engine,even if it's the street legal version of the LeMans legend,it still has quite wide rear tyres,so with 210 horsepower it should not struggle for traction too much. The car starts the journey in RandomCar with 19% air restriction coupled with max possible 180kg added weight.
This is the last new car for this season - next voting will be held in the intermission between seasons!
