RandomCar 2024 Series final standings
The 2nd season of RGE's car randomizing league has come to an end after 10 rounds and it's time to look back at the season's results. A total of 44 different cars were in the list this season,exceeding number of drivers in any round,however for round 4 a total of 51 drivers were in the draw,so still in theory each car could have been used. But there was a car,who was not used - one that was added right after season half was drawn just once and never run,while another car was drawn 8 times,run in qualifying twice but never stood on grid. 8 different cars crossed the finish line as winners,10 were run in at least 6 rounds to qualify for manufacturers championship. There are no seperate stats which car was drawn most times this year,but in both seasons one car was drawn significantly more times than 2nd best and coincidentally it's the same car that made manufacturers podium in both seasons.
The average attendance dropped by 1.9 compared to last season,as highest attendance number reached 28 drivers in round 4 (5 less than highest number of 2023),but the lowest number did not drop as low as last year - 16 drivers in season finale is still 4 more than lowest attendance in 2023 season's round 8. Competition level however dropped as main candidates for drivers champion title did not show a lot of interest to put some effort and take the glory home - all 3 standings leaders,who shared 7 race wins,did not start in last 2 rounds,letting others pass them in table.
RandomCar 2024 Drivers Champion: RGˆRony
Only 3 drivers attended in all 10 rounds,one of them scored most points during the season and it was the organizer himself. The list of achievements is very short - only a single podium finish,which was a 3rd place finish in double points scoring season finale 1 hour race,but consistancy helped a lot - even if before final round best result was 7th place finish,worst was a sole top10 outside finish in round 3 where he was just one position outside top10. Last season the organizer finished 10th in standings with 5th place finish being best result.
Unite attended 8 rounds and also his most successful race was the season finale which he won,putting himself up to 2nd position in final standings. The finn was runner up in 2 races,and finished 4th in season opener,rest of the results were low top10 finishes with one bad result where he finished 19th. Last season he was 17th in final standings with a sole 2nd place being a good result. Standings leader after 7th round was J.Holmes,who won 4 races and finished 2nd in another 2. But he did not start rounds 8 and 9 and did not even attend final round,letting his standings lead away,ending up just 3rd in final standings. The britton attended just 2 rounds last season,finishing 2nd in his sole started race.
RandomCar 2024 Teams Champions: Born 2 Race
The defending vice-champions run strong this season as they scored the highest points count between teams in 7 of 10 rounds,taking 3 race wins with 2 different drivers. Even if their performance dropped later in season as the 2 drivers being main candidates for drivers title did not race,rest of the team kept scoring good points to keep the team in table lead through whole season as the team scored a total of 17 top5 finishes. The defending champions RGA was the only team that kept themselves within striking distance to leaders,but never could seriously endanger them,finishing this season in 2nd position,scoring just 5 top5 finishes during the season. Good performances later in the season were deciding factor for 3rd position in teams championship for WCL - with win in round 9 they overtook their main rivals Zafiralis and kept the position through final round. Besides win,their best driver scored another top5 finish and it's a 2 positions improvement in table compared to previous season.
RandomCar 2023 Nations Champions: Finland
Finland marks the only successful title defence in RandomCar and this season was very similar to previous one. Once again Lithuania started season very strongly,but dropped their performance late in the season,allowing consistently scoring Finland simply glide by and secore 2nd nations championship in the league. The finns scored a total of 10 top5 finishes,including race wins on last 2 rounds of the season. Lithuanians won 3 races and finished in top5 11 times in their 2nd runners up season. Also 3rd position was taken over late in the season - and that by Poland,who overtook UK. Poland this year scored 3 top5 finishes,each by different driver,last season they finished 6th in the standings.
RandomCar 2024 Manufacturers Champions: XF COUPE TURBO
There was no dominating car this season in the races,however in slower courses one of the prefered vehicles was the light and agile XF Coupe,which was the winning car in round 2,scoring another 4 podium finishes through out the season. Last season the model finished in dissapointing 15th position. In half of the races 2nd place was taken by BZ30 - a remarkable result despite the lack of race wins for the roadster,which is very similar in performance with the TBO class by default and a good improvement from previous season when it finished 12th. The all time most drawn car Talot was 2nd best last season,however despite a race win,they dropped a position between seasons,finishing 3rd in standings,bringing home 3 podium finishes during the season.
Season 3 is in the the minds of planning and there might be some minor improvements for drivers championship to increase competition,but biggest changes will include manufacturers championship as with over 40 cars and less than 30 drivers it's difficult to determine the best car. Otherwise the current format of 9 rounds with 30min races and double points scoring 1 hour race season finale seems like a good option noone opposed,so there are no plans to change that.

Season finale is set to be run in Aston Grand Prix - in the longest standard racetrack in LFS,which measures 8.8 kilometers. The VERL car can do this lap in around 2 minutes and 25 seconds and it requires just 23 laps to complete VERL nominal distance of 200 kilometers,which last year was completed in 56 minutes. Tyre durability probably won't be an issue in this race,unless drivers are too aggressive on tyres,however car should be set up quite universally as the course has high speed straights,fast turns and slow hairpins.
As it should be,in season finale is everything on stake - drivers championship is led by 7 points,so leader cannot allow any big mistakes,especially if main rivals are running on high positions. Also teams championship is undecided,however leading team has a significant advantage. Nations cup might be decided already at signups closure as none of the 2 chasing nations has 2nd driver that at least theoretically would allow to challenge leaders.

Race statistics / RTFR .mpr folder / Event rating and other statistics (will be updated later this week)
RTFR created yet another tricky challenge for the racers - this time in custom track in Fern Bay that uses most of the Gold reversed course,but cuts over through Cadet's part,which leads to the bumpy old straight,creating a jump for the NGT class car. XFR is on the bottom part of RTFR's popularity contest,but with 24 attendants the average number will raise a bit.
The dutchman R.Kardol did not attend previous 8 RTFR races,but returned in top form - he was the fastest in qualifying to score his 20th pole position,losing up the tie for 3rd most. Despite some early lap struggles with fellow front row starter,R.Kardol managed to lead every single lap,keeping the competition at bay later on to cross finish line as race winner for the 23rd time,scoring also his 95th top5 finish. Current standings leader A.Valta was the only proper rival for winner as he was the only other driver to beat 1:03 laptime mark in qualifying and kept the leader within sight for whole race to cross finish line just over 2 seconds behind winner,scoring his 6th top5 finish in row,27th overall. Unite marked himself as owner of fastest lap of the race,which is his 26th already,but had to settle for bottom step of the podium,scoring his 88th top5 finish. Gábor did not put much effort in qualifying,ending up with slowest laptime in his last minute run,but progressed through field to finish in 4th position,which is his 68th top5 finish. Thehemuli found just a single position improvement between start and finish to finish 5th - 15 is his new top5 count.

Next week is the 1st tuesday in many months without planned RGE event,but we might come up with some idea spontaniously,but in 2 weeks RTFR will return with one of the road legal cars - hints about which and where can be heard when watching the stream recording. To make 3 races in row,also the next RTFR XL race,scheduled in 3 weeks,will also run one of the FWD cars - UF1 has been selected to run in South City's Classic configuration in reversed direction (the 6 weeks gap instead usual 4 is intentional to keep each race in different month).

The 1 hour long season finale took place in Blackwood's Historic configuration,which skips the chicane - in reversed direction it means very fast approach to last hairpin with quite bumpy braking zone,which is also not entirely straight. That created some issues for drivers who got cars without ABS,but obviously it was not a deciding factor as 3 cars in top5 were not fitted with this semi-modern braking help while one of helping factors was high top speed over the long back straight. Only half of the 33 drivers attended,recording the lowest number of the season,but non attendees included also the top3 of drivers championship,which caused quite big changes in top of the table.
With a car already having a win this season in the fastest track,Unite had good cards in hand for this race as he could surely use Cammera's high top speed to earn his 2nd pole position,early in the race the finn was able to pull a good distance on competition and led all 44 laps to score his first RandomCar race win. Madjester qualified 3rd with his Talot,but soon jumped into 2nd position in which he spent majority of the race,eventually even reducing gap to leader,setting fastest lap of the race in progress - that's the first RandomCar podium finish for the portugese. Also 3rd place finisher scored his first podium finish in the series - Rony had the Nortz XR2 for the 3rd time and scored his best series result,climbing a single position between start and finish.
Full season recap and final standings will be posted within couple of weeks.
Most drawn car of the round was Fraud 040 with 4 draws,however only one of the drivers attended. The most drawn car Talot got another 3 draws for this race,increasing it's lead in the chart - it has been drawn 5 times more compared to 2nd most drawn car BZ30.
Just 2 new best results were made for cars during this round,both scored by drivers of same team - Thehemuli qualified 8th and finished 8th,scoring new best results for Adda AR-Eight,previously scored by his countryman Harri K. (15th position in qualifying,13th in race). Motimoukari received GT-V34 MINE9 (drawn only 4 times,half of those to Sobis) for this race,did not get a good result,but still it was the best for the car - 12th in qualifying and 11th in race,which are significantly better than Sobis' 24th and 19th positions accordingly.

2nd half of the short season had a very low attendance - just 5 drivers were ready to take the challenge of shorter and twistier Westhill configuration,recording the lowest attendance in the series since 2020 season finale in Fern Bay. As always in such case the rule of half distance for half points kicks in,postponing any bigger decisions to final round of the season,especially with non attendance of table leader.
The lack of competition opened up the doors for defending vice champion Thehemuli,who in return had no competition for him in this round. The finn scored his 1st pole position in qualifying by being 2/3 of a second faster than closest rival and run away from chasers during the race,setting one fastest lap after another to cross finish line first for the first time. The 2nd place seemed to be unwanted - both contenders politelly left each other by couple times until the front row starter spun his car. This way Rony was able to clinch the 2nd place finish ahead of his rival of the day Strutter.
Despite not attending,Zesty remains on top of the drivers championship table,however his advantage has shunk to 7 points over closest rival,which now is Thehemuli,Rony is 3rd another point further away. For Zesty a 2nd place finish is enough to guarantee championhip in any scenario,taking one of the bonus points reduces his required finishing position to 3rd. There are still not enough rookies finishing a race,so this competition is still not activated.
Team S1dus completelly missed the round,but still kept the table lead as closest rivals RGA were able to score just 6 points,reducing the gap to 13 points. Zafiralis retook the 3rd position and is now 22 points behind table lead. Finland increased their lead in nations cup standings to 20 points over Malaysia,increasing their chances to repeat success of previous 4 years,Latvia is still 3rd with 9 points gap to 2nd place. Since neither Malaysia and Latvia has 2nd driver,Finland clinches the title with signups closure if there are no new signups for the chasing countries.
Season finale will take place in 2 weeks in track used in last season's opener round - Aston Grand Prix,the longest standard configuration of LFS. The 8.8km circuit needs just 23 laps to complete 200 laps of VERL race,last season the distance was completed in 56 and half minutes.

Before the final round of 2024 there are several changes in performance balancing:
CAMMERA 730 TURBO proved itself as very fast in straights,so it should be slowed down a little - it receives additional 1% intake restriction to reach total of 11%.
FREUD SERRA could not keep up with other cars as good as expected,so it's 1% restriction is now removed.
FXO Turbo is still one of the fastest cars especially with years of setup developement,so it will get another 1% intake restriction - new requirement is 6%.
XF COUPE TURBO is beating competition with it's agility,so it will receive a minor weight addition of 5kg - the new total is 30kg.

Round 3
Sunday,13th October
17:00 UTC / 19:00 CET / 20:00 EET
2nd half of the 4 round season takes action to Westhill - only environment where VERL has run at least one race on every of it's seasons,including league's inaugural race back in 2015 and first race with the new car 2 years ago. This season the shorter configuration National will be used in reversed direction - a track has a very tricky tightening 1st turn,preceeded and followed by 2 longest straights. The twisty middle portion of the course will require patience with throttle pedal - unleashing all 600 horsepower at wrong time will surely cause spin.
Defending winner of the round is the same driver,who has won both races this season - if he happens to repeat the performance and take all points from this round,he can take early vacation as the title will be already secured. The best battles are expected to be for 2nd position in drivers standings and for nations cup while teams championship has a distinct leader already.

First of all - WCL guys pay me nothing (except the prize money I occasionally win) and even if they would,it still would not affect anything in judgement,so please don't start accusing such nonsence. Second - for someone who has been banned from so many events and servers,you still feel like a wrongfully accused angel,who never done anything. But in this case you're the one who initiated this incident with absolutelly unnecessary dive between P.Koivunen's car and edge of the track when entering turn - here's picture of moment right before initial contact:
There is absolutelly no chance to go through turn with this line without hitting car ahead and yet you still have no brake input (despite being faster than car few centimeters ahead) right before the contact. Additionally what decided the penalty is your action at the end of the incident:
Steering input towards the sideways car right ahead and full throttle input - how this can help the situation?
Simply said - if you destroy someone else's possible good race result with your thoughtless action,administration will destroy your good race result with penalty. If you feel that being unfair,feel free not to join this event - many drivers will have one overly agressive driver less to worry about.

Ibusha Saga is the 3rd mod car which makes it's return to RTFR - the XRG like coupe this time was run on track with more than 3 left turns. 32 drivers qualified for this race which is 6 less than in previous race with the same car - the average attendance will keep it in the top10 of all time most attended cars and 2nd place between cars used more than once. Seems like not everyone was able to adapt to this car - some had their troubles to perform at their usual level,including all time most successful driver,who retired during the race while running 4th.
The 2-time RTFR race winner TJ qualified just 4th,but quickly adapted to race situation,gaining one position after other,taking also race lead on 9th lap with relativelly small battle - the brazilian led the last 5 laps to score his 3rd RTFR race win,scoring also his 11th top5 finish. Current standings leader and winner of latest 2 races was the fastest in qualifying and scored his 10th pole position,but during the race he had to concede the 8 laps long race lead and settle for 2nd place finish within 2 seconds of race winner,scoring his 26th top5 finish,taking also the fastest lap of the race - also his 10th. For the irishman Twincam this was the best qualifying in RTFR - 2nd place is 2 positions better than his previous best result achieved in 314th RTFR,however he lost a position during the race and was able just to repeat his best finishing result - 3rd position,which is his 6th top5 finish. 4th place finish for Unite marked his 87th top5 finish,which is now sole 2nd highest count in the chart,7 less than highest count. For the 2nd race in row top5 was closed by Arska,who scored his 32nd top5 finish.

The car previously used in Retro Cup was unleashed with it's raw performance this tuesday on a standard LFS race course - the longest one of all. With laptimes just below 3 minutes (or for few drivers above 3 minutes) the track alone gave some endurance-ish feeling,the 75 minutes race around it turned into a proper tyre failure drama,catching out also few top5 candidates. 31 drivers qualified,setting the highest attendance since february race,which coincidentally was also run with a Porsche based GT racecar,however only 29 actually started,24 crossed the finish line with 2 others being classified in results.
The top2 drivers are the same who duelled in 2 past normal RTFR races,however a proper duel never happened this time - Gábor took matters in his hands from early on,taking all the achievables from this race. Even if by just 7 hundredths of a second over the 8.8km course,the hungarian was fastest in qualifying,scoring his own record improving 13th pole position,led 19 of 26 laps to score his 11th RTFR XL race win (tying 2nd most),setting also fastest lap of the race (tying all time most),his top5 count now reaches the number of Black Jack - 21. A.Valta was the only driver not left far away by leader - he led 7 laps (6 more than in his only winning RTFR XL race) during pitstop shuffling and finished in strong 2nd place less than 10 seconds behind winner,scoring his 3rd top5 finish,while 2nd place in qualifying is 1 position better than his previous best result. Best of the rest was Rejekt,who finished 3rd already 47 seconds behind winner,scoring his 3rd top5 finish. He was closelly followed by 2 drivers - P.Koivunen in 4th position,who repeated his only other previous top5 finish and Rony in 5th,who scored his 31st top5 finish.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
GTR class cars seems to be quite interesting for racers - all user made cars classified in GTR class had at least 30 drivers attendance (both XRR and FZR also each had 1 race with such attendance),however there are exceptions - both FXR and on it based V8 Supercar are far away from such attendance numbers.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Every driver this time either changed tyres or filled fuel or even both,so no actual clock pitter this time. However Madjester was the fastest in this race with his 10.02 seconds pitstop,very closelly followed by several other drivers.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Seems like P.Koivunen did not made much effort in qualifying as he qualified only 14th,but during the race found plenty of pace improvement,making a total of 10 positions progress,which is just 1 position better than 2nd best result.
VOD at Youtube:
This time race winner was very quick submitting his selection (his 2nd and last in this year) and it will be a repeat of 11th RTFR combo - UF1 at South City Classic reversed. The race will have the highest lapcount since 65th RTFR XL - 73 laps are required to have the race to exceed nominal length of 75 minutes as the lap is just 2 seconds above 1 minute.

Round 2 visited VERL's own classic tough challenge - the bumpy Container Sprint track. 11 drivers accepted the challenge and were ready for the struggles,however only 8 also crossed the finish line,half of them completed full 80 laps distance.
There is no official count of winning streaks in VERL,but Zesty surely would have made a new or repeated record by winning 3 races in row - despite quite weak qualifying performance,the malaysian made a progress of 6 positions during the race,setting also fastest lap of the race. Also 2nd place finisher started from inside of one of the lower rows - 4th place on grid made it possible to reach 2nd place with late race pass for Rony. Despite losing position during last few laps,Strutter still scored his 1st ever VERL podium finish after leading 30 laps eary in race.
After half of the season the leader is clear - 2 wins in 2 races obviously puts Zesty in commanding lead of 15 points in the championship table. What can be done in 1 season half by one driver can be done in 2nd season half by other driver,so nothing is secured yet,however scoring all possible points from next round would secure the 1st VERL championship for Zesty. The actual close competition is now only for 2nd position in championship - after finishing 2nd in latest round,Rony takes same position in table,but has only 2 points advantage over Strutter and 3 points over another 2 following drivers. There is still only a single rookie with a race finish,so award for best rookie is still on hold.
Team S1dus scored a single point more than their closest rivals RGA,so the gap has raised to 19 points now in teams championship,Fragmaster is the new 3rd place thanks to sole effort - already 35 points apart leaders. Top2 nations both scored 17 points in this round,so nations cup standings stay at status quo with 5 points between leading Finland and Malaysia,Latvia is still 3rd with 20 points gap to lead.
The shorter configuration Westhill National is next in the scedule,this season run in reversed direction. 46 laps around it will be a proper challenge for VERL drivers,so if someone wants to make a proper statement for season standings,he has to earn it.

When making skin I noticed one slight problem - the door gap on rear side is not being painted with skin and is left white,all other gaps are ok. Best seen on simple lighting.

Actually it's 18 pounds:
Before you compare with turkish wages,remember that LFS is being created by devs living in UK,where 18 pounds,which divided in 2 (assumed income is now divided between the 2 active devs) is below minimum hourly wage (11.44 pounds per hour) in the specific country.
I'm writing this just to point out that it will be never "fair" to compare prices and wages between different countries as the standards and costs very are different.
