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

Depite addition of mods,RTFR will still use all 20 of LFS's own original cars and this tuesday on the list we had one of the least popular cars - the tiny student formula machine created by McGill Racing Team,which is known for it's very eratic handling if not cautios. Still 31 drivers dared to tackle the challenging car in the tricky infield circuit of Rockingham during qualifying,4 of them were not present for start however.

The new world record holder for this combo defended his honor in qualifying by setting fastest laptime and scoring his 15th pole position. The race for Gábor was not much different as he led from green to chequered to score the 20th race win in RTFR. The hungarian however could not get also fastest lap to complete domination,but added 43rd top5 finish to his stats. Despite a very wrong timed experiment of the turn command causing him turned 90° on the grid,R.Kardol still rescued the race by finishing 2nd and scoring his 74th top5 finish. In his 10th RTFR appearance TJ scored his best ever qualifying position - 2nd,making a 2 positions improvement,but finished only 3rd scoring his 6th top5 finish. Doni just repeated his best qualifying position 3rd and also lost one position during the race to finish 4th,which is his 13th top5 finish. Mandula took a break by not attending in the past 24 RTFR races,but made a return with a bang by finishing 5th and scoring his 22nd top5 finish.

RTFR XL is next in the schedule and the upcoming round has a potential to produce as many retirements as the shorter version yesterday - the powerful Pochete GT3 car will be raced on a track that partially consists of Westhill's support roads,including a high speed curved road with plenty of elevation. The Westhill North configuration has been used in RTFR before,once with FXO and most recently with FBM. But in 2 weeks one of the road legal tyres wearing cars will be used in normal RTFR version - some information as always can be noticed in broadcast recording.

Last year the event introduced car mods to it's cars lineups and this year will not be different. However the mods list is growing too large and it's not possible to test all cars anymore,additionally it will be a wasted effort in most cases as maximum of only 40 cars is possible for the race,so testing 90+ cars simply is not needed. Therefor we have a new solution - potential entries themselves can apply cars they would like to use in this event.

Race Green Events have tested several cars to offer an initial cars list of 26 cars - this consists of 5 default LFS cars (all used in 2021 event edition,last before mods era),all eligible cars from approved mods list and several cars from last year's list. You can see the list in the RG300kW spreadsheets.


Applied cars must fullfill several criteria to be added to official event's cars list:
Accessibility: PUBLIC from the date of application till end of the event.
Car type: Road legal saloon car with closed wheels bodywork,cabrios/roadsters allowed,SUVs,vans,busses,trucks are not.
Performance level: TBO class performance is minimum for car to be competitive - ~200 BHP/ton (heavier cars might be competitive with less,lighter might need more),road super tyres required. Higher performing cars will receive appropriate restriction.
Aerodynamics: Minimal downforce (max ~350N at 40m/s) acceptable if realistic for car type.
Configurations: Car must have a configuration without banned elements: Police/safety/taxi lights,rollcage,racecar wings,other elements that don't comply with generic road legal cars rules.
Colors: Full skin support required (both sides must be skinnable seperatelly)

All applications will be checked and tested before added to cars list,organization holds the right do deny any application if it does not suit event spirit. It is strongly suggested to apply cars that are finished in such extent that it does not require any major updates.

Car applications will be closed 1 week before the event - applications deadline is 14th may,23:59 UTC!

Seems like same problem as here: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/103441-Event-list-%3A-Forbidden%2C-Mod-List-%3A-Forbidden-
According to "solution" it's a connection problem.
Try a test patch which includes download redirect to closer location (US for example):

This car has been selected for next RTFR XL,so I used my free time today and started to make a skin. I noticed some inconsistency in triangles selection for skin and lights mapping around rear lights between right and left lights,best seen in viewer with simple lighting or on wireframe. Just a small mistake,if you're a perfectionist,you might want to fix it,but it's nothing what would fall in eyes in normal cases.

Quote from Kid222 :

Session: Race
Lap: 1, first chicane
Involved drivers: Vincent Adultman, WCL Arska
Description of incident: I think i got removed from racing order in first chicane by my fellow competitor.

2 cars running side by side,on chicane entry V.Adultman leaves barely enough place for car inside,pushing Arska's car on curb,however Arskas controls show full throttle input with car on outside of the turn,which initiates the contact.

PENALTIES:
[WCL] Arska - receives a WARNING for avoidable contact. Repeated incident might lead to actual penalty.

- - - - - - - - - -

Just like round one,also Fern Bay gathered up a total of 33 drivers,from which few left before end of qualifying. 30 cars were standing on the grid,representing 19 different models in this colorful field. Again the Ultimate Road Car proved to be also quite ultimate in race,beating the competition - despite being drawn for 4 entrants,only one showed up.

The only URC driver who attended was Mantas,who scored his 2nd pole position in row,at least this time his connection held up and despite losing track position early in lap,he finished lap 1 as a leader,leading also rest of the race to finish with over 27 seconds gap over competition. The remaining podium finishers made it very variating as each of them had different drivetrain layout - Fast with the AWD driven RB4 had the chance to enjoy race lead for most of lap 1,but could not complete it,dropping down to 2nd position,kept until finish line,repeating his round 2 finishing position. FWD cars field was led by R.Kardol,who had stronger competition than last tuesday in FXO at RTFR,he finished 3rd for the 2nd race in row at RandomCar.

Despite finishing outside podium positions,V.Lagooga keeps his lead in series standings,but it was cut to half as his countryman Fast closed up by 3 points. A.Valta is still 3rd,but lost another 2 points to table leader.

With a new points count record in a single round,S1dus increased their lead in teams standings,RGA lost 10 points in last round and is now 23 points behind,after their driver winning this round,B2R took over 3rd position in teams standings. Lithuania scored even more points and keeps up dominating Nations standings,now 30 points ahead of Finland,one driver nation Luxembourg jumped into 3rd position. 3 wins in 3 rounds puts URC1 in dominating lead in Manufacturers championship,the LFS's home made FXO took over 2nd position,but has already 21 points gap,3 points ahead of 3rd position Talot.

Round 4 might turn things around as the upcoming track has higher average speed than 3 previous - Kyoto National in reversed direction is expected to have around 15km/h higher average speed,giving other cars more chances. Also the winning car will receive another set of additional ballast for next round,hopefully slowing it down a bit. Also let's see what car will be voted as next addition to the league,voting will start this weekend on our discord server. Next week it's back to usual business - in RTFR there will be a slick tyre car on the menu,more details will be posted on the weekend.

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

Quote from three_jump :

Session: Race
Lap/MPR time: 1:04 onwards (end of lap 2)
Involved drivers: #1: kyr1l?, #2: Three Jump
Description of incident: braking zone at the end of the straight; #1 drives (accelerates?) right into the rear of car #2 causing #2 to spin off.

After regaining control after the slide,Kyr1l's controls show significant throttle input despite being on braking zone with car directly ahead,which leads to a contact.

* PENALTIES :
kyr1l? - receives 15 seconds penalty added to his finish time for avoidable contact causing multiple position loss. This is a custom penalty to place the driver behind his victim on race results.

For 2 weeks in different RTFR versions we raced 2 FWD cars - last week it was the "simple" UF1,this week the turbocharged coupe FXO. As always,the car was heavy on it's front tyres,forcing drivers to take care of those as overloading them would mean sacrificing pace. A total of 33 drivers joined for qualifying session,however 3 of them left and did not take their earned grid spot,another 3 retired before reaching half distance,being scored as not finished.

R.Kardol proved his advantage with this car by winning the 3rd RTFR race with FXO in row - it took 7 laps for him to chase the polesitter and pass him to take over lead for remaining 16 laps. That was his 17th RTFR race win,13th fastest lap of the race and 73rd top 5 finish. The driver who keeps changing his name all the time scored his 16th pole position by being 0.09 seconds faster than race winner in qualifying,but could not keep up the pace in race and lost lead,finishing 2nd to score also his 16th top5 finish. With some banana boost the WCL driver Monke climbed up 2 positions to finish 3rd,which is his 21st top5 finish. The 2023 season 1 standings leader lost a position to finish 4th,scoring his 42nd top5 finish,P.Koivunen used mishaps of others to climb into 5th place - that's his 4th top5 finish.

VOD at Youtube:


Next week RTFR server will be used for different event - it's the 3rd round of our newest creation RandomCar,where the cars line up has been increased to 20. Until then the server is set up with combo of next (76th) RTFR XL for laptime testing purposes - POCHETE 118 GT3 at Westhill North RGE layout,previously used in 250th RTFR with FBM. The race itself will take place in 3 weeks. But in 2 weeks next normal RTFR will use one of the race spec cars - hints about which and where can be seen and heard if carefully watching the broadcast recording.

That's why the option is called "per guest" and not "per server" - if you're not aiming to host some AI racing,then leaving it at 1 is more than enough as guest can drive only 1 car. Each of max possible 47 guests.

Quote from Scawen :

that fast corner caused a lot of trouble for me

Actually main reason was the high wind,as it was blowing from behind before the kink,adding extra speed and reducing car's ability to turn into it. Many had trouble with it - most hit the left side wall on lap 1 of the 2nd race.
Since the wind is variating,it was pretty much random result on that turn - on one lap you could barely keep car off wall and on next no chances to stay off it despite driving "same" pace and line. One of the reasons high wind is barely ever used in organized racing.

I can confirm - had to post something,which included opening other pages for links,sometimes took 10+ seconds to load a page.
Was wondering why,thought it's just some temporary hickup.

There are 3 changes in cars list before next race,here are these in alphabetical order:

Approved mods are added to list by default if fulfilling requirements,the N.400S has been updated recently to have skin support,therefor it's now eligible for RandomCar!
(to get skin template,you have to select the skinned default color setting!)
The car will start with 23% air restrictor.



After 2 wins in 2 races it's now sure that URC1 is overperforming and will receive additional 20kg ballast to reach a total of 50% air restrictor + 140kg ballast.



Winner of the montly vote is VPI-3 BASIC TURBO which won the voting by a single vote. The FWD hot hatch will start with 39% air restrictor.

A reminder - 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

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due daylight savings time change,the UTC time has been changed to keep event time in main area (Europe) in same time. If you live in area where time has not been changed to summer time recently,make sure to refer to UTC for correct time conversion!

12th season of the yearly winter league was different from previous 11 - for the first time ever each round was run with different car,making the series a proper allrounder challenge. 8 different cars had to be mastered and that on 4 different course types - road courses,street courses,rallycross tracks and ovals. In terms of numbers this season was a minor step backwards,except for count of rounds - this was a return to 8 rounds schedule,previously used only in the 1st two seasons. There were a total of 40 signups (3 less than last season,4 more than average),but 8 drivers never attended,making actual competitors count 32 (also 3 less than last season and 4 more than average). Just like last season 29 participants scored at least 1 point and qualified for season finale,which is still 5 more than league's all time average. The average attendance per round dropped by 2.5 - this season we had 14.4 drivers per round (which is 0.3 more than all time average),ranging from 11 in round 3 to 18 in rounds 2 and 4.

AWS 2023 Drivers Champion: A.Valta
11 seasons produced 11 different drivers champions - this trend was bound to be changed this season as there were 3 previous champions in the signups list,one of them attended in all 8 rounds. The 2016 champion A.Valta started his 2nd AWS season with a win and never left the table lead through rest of the season. He won a total of 5 rounds and finished 2nd in another one,lacking the performance only in both oval rounds,still scoring the 7th top5 finish in one of those. The finn reached a total of 8 wins in the AWS,tying Dzidoris for 2nd most,similar with pole positions - adding the 4 from this year made him tie Dzidoris for all time 2nd most.

Last season's rookie of the year Thehemuli was on chasing position whole season long,but saw the gap to leader increasing after almost each round,finally losing contact before final round. Despite not being able to win a race like he did in his rookie season,5 second place finishes and 1 third place finish brought him 2nd position in season overall standings,scoring also his 1st pole position in round 7. The 2019 drivers championship runner up scored his 2nd overall podium this season - his early part of the season was not fast,but with constant results he settled in 3rd position in standings,practically securing it for final standings in round 7 which brought him first ever AWS race win. The defending champion V.Lakūnas attended only in round 2 and picked up all points from it,but without any other effort that puts him in 14th position overall this year.

AWS 2023 Rookie of the Year: (kvsyenhoj)
The competition for this award was rather non-existant on season start,but it livened up later - a slovakian driver with backwards spelled name increased his activity on latter part of the season,collecting points slowly to take over lead in rookie standings just after final round. He attended 5 rounds,finishing in positions between 11 and 13 in all of those,qualifying 10th on his debut,finishing 13th in overall standings. Happyd had even better debut - he won his first AWS race,but never attended again and finished season as 2nd best rookie and 15th overall.

AWS 2023 Cross Challenge winner: A.Valta
Winning all 3 rounds on rallycross tracks pretty much sealed the deal alone for the drivers champion to score also his 2nd Cross Challenge award. He did not score only 3 from possible 66 points this year. Also here Thehemuli was his main rival,finishing 2nd in 2 rounds,3rd in other one. The defending champion Fatal did not even sign up for this season.

AWS 2023 Oval Trophy winner: ZFRL•Thehemuli
Finishing 2nd in both oval rounds was enough to clinch the award,adding a pole position in 2nd round. Thehemuli finished 2nd in this minor competition last year,scoring his only AWS race win back then. Also Michal scored his only AWS win on oval,but at least he did it this year - just like 2019 the czech driver finished 2nd in Oval Trophy standings this year. The defending champion Unite attended only 1 round this season,finishing 8th in it and 12th in Oval Trophy standings.

AWS 2023 Megawatt Award winner: A.Valta
The brand new award from last season was given out also this year as 2 rounds were run with electrically powered cars,introducing a new 2-race system for the league. The overall champion A.Valta was unbeatable in both rounds,taking all possible 44 points. The rounds podiums both were identical,that of course brought 2nd position in this award to driver finishing 2nd in both rounds - Thehemuli. Fatal was a defending champion also for this award.

AWS 2023 Teams Champions: Race Green Autosports
The hosting team and also 5-time AWS Teams champions RGA once again were on top of the game to clinch their 6th teams title. They outscored all other teams in 4 rounds,placing 2 best drivers in 4th and 5th in drivers standings. Even if none of the drivers finished higher than 3rd in any round,the team still scored a total of 8 top5 finishes and 2 pole positions. Just like their top driver,also the Zafiralis team increased their performance from 4th to 2nd position. Also they did not score a single win,but team's drivers scored 6 second place finishes and a pole position,finishing 2nd and 3rd in round 5. The 3rd best team Master Race car was represented by 5 drivers,2 of them even scored a race win (both on oval rounds),however the overall performance was good enough for 3rd place in teams standings,collecting 7 top5 finishes through out the season. The defending champions LLM had just a single driver this year,who finished 7th in standings and put his team in 5th position in teams standings.

AWS 2023 Nations Cup winners: Finland
The least doubts about a specific title receiver was in Nations Cup - Finland took over the standings lead right at the start of the season by scoring all 39 points,repeating that in other 2 rounds,being outscored just in single round. Besides top two positions in drivers standings,the defending champions nation scored also 5 race wins (all by drivers champion),15 top5 finishes and 5 pole positions. Czechia was the only nation that managed to outscore Finland in a round,but that was not nearly enough to challenge for title - still 2nd place is a repeat of their best AWS result. The czech drivers scored a total of 9 top5 finishes,including a race win. The 5-time champions Lithuania had even worse season this year compared to previous year as they finished 3rd,despite a win and 2 pole positions,as they scored just 6 top5 finishes with best driver finishing 7th in drivers championship.

Race statistics / RTFR XL .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated during the week)


This race was just another proof of variations in this event - a month ago we raced a high speed single seater,just like a week ago in the shorter version of the event. And yesterday - the slowest standard car of LFS,the 55 horsepower compact car,which could not even exceed 100km/h average race speed yesterday. And despite variations between the last 2 races,we have a back to back winner.

There was no real competition in this race for the hungarian Gábor,who was the only one to beat the 1:07 laptime mark and he did that in both sessions,setting same best laptime. Even if he led just 2 laps more than half of the full distance,there were no doubts about winner even if his advantage in finish was everything else than dominating - 6 seconds. Gábor scored his 5th RTFR XL race win,tying his teammate Litti for all time 3rd most. He also scored his 6th pole position (now sole 3rd most),5th fastest lap of the race (tied 4th most) and 13th top5 finish. R.Kardol led the remaining laps during the race,taking over race lead due different pitstop strategy,returning the lead to the rightful owner with 2 laps to go. With this the dutchman extended his lead in most top5 finishes chart by scoring his 37th and also he extended his lead in 2023 standings as his only close rival did not attend. The other Ric had his best ever RTFR XL performance - he qualified 4th improving his best previous effort by a single position,while his 3rd place finish was 2 positions better than his only other previous top5 finish. Also J.Pickard had his best ever qualifying in RTFR XL - 2nd place is an improvement by 2 positions,however his race did not go so well and he slipped down to 4th position in finish,scoring his 3rd top5 finish. Twincam joined the improvers club too - 5th place in both qualifying and race is a position better than previous best in both sessions - and he is also the first irishman to finish in top5.


* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
During this race a driver exceeded 500 laps led mark,but it was not the race winner - R.Kardol leads this chart since 73rd RTFR XL and this was already the 21st race where he led at least a lap. His success rate however sinks under 50% - he won "just" 10 of these 21 races.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
In most cases this mention seems to go to Finland and this race was no difference - Thehemuli stopped for 10.10 seconds without any pitwork.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
There were not much high positions movers in this race,still many improved - Lorenzo had the highest climb with a +7 positions effort. However he finished just 18th.

VOD at Youtube:


Next RTFR XL as per schedule is in 4 weeks,however at this point it's unknown where and which car will be used - with mods available for selection,there are a lot of options. But it's known what will be run next week in normal RTFR - a standard LFS's home made road legal car,which will be quite a classic combo,as always full details in the weekend.

Quote from Kanker_aap :

What's with your attitude man?

Quote from EmkaLT :

Then create your mod and do like u want lmao

(Was just making parody of that guy's attitude)

Quote from Kanker_aap :

but the model of the mod needs work. There are multiple holes here and there (mainly in the places of panel gaps) also interior could be more detailed like Pazzur stated and also for me the car wont turn on after you turn it off.

Then create your mod and do like u want lmao

A reminder - 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).

Despite being a replica of rather the tale end car from the early 90ies F1 series,still it requires plenty of skill to keep it on track at high race pace. That resulted in quite few drivers throwing the towel and leaving before qualifying,but many of the RTFR regulars took the challenge and most of them completed the full race distance without bigger problems. Still it was the lowest attendance in last 10 races.

V.Lagooga joined the server regulary before the actual event and practiced a lot - that resulted in a clean sweep of achievements from this week's race as he was fastest in qualifying and led every meter of the race. The lithuanian scored his 15th pole position,breaking the tie for 3rd most,his 8th racewin,6th fastest lap of the race and 15th top5 finish. R.Kardol started from inside of 2nd row,got past his teammate and finished 2nd to score his 72nd top5 finish. A.Valta started even lower - from outside of row 3,still was able to progress all the way up to podium finish,scoring his 17th top5 finish. Current standings and 15 race rating leader Gábor qualified 2nd just 0.15s behind polesitter,but had some trouble to lose few positions - 4th place finish and 40th top5 finish in his stats. Mantas closed the top5 for the 3rd race in row and added the 6th top5 finish to his achievements.

Next week it's time for the longer version of RTFR - the XL race will feature the slowest LFS original car in the shortest configuration of Aston,full info will be posted later today. But in 2 weeks the default RTFR version will feature one of the street legal cars,which and where can be found out if watched the video on demand carefully,or simply wait for full info posted in the weekend before the race.

For the 2nd day in row in LFS community there was an event consisting of 2 races and using electric powered cars with range smaller than race distance. Even if only 3 were racing in both events,almost all racers knew how to do stuff and finished both races without need to recharge the battery despite rallycross driving being rather ineffective regarding energy use.

This was the 2nd round with 2-race format in AWS,previous being run with car with longer range and on paved surface,still the race results were the same also this monday - A.Valta had no competition and run away from rest of the field unchallenge to win both races and score all 22 points from round once again. The rest of the podium was also a repeat - Thehemuli took 2nd place in 1st race and finished 3rd in 2nd,but still clinched 2nd place in round,Lorenzo finished 3rd,beat the finn on 2nd race,but with much smaller gap and ended 3rd in overall round results.

Full season recap will be posted later.
