This week on Race Green's GTi Tuesday... Yea,this one is wrong too - but still coincidentally 2 races in row in the series were quite related to weekly FM's racing events. After the FOX race,this time we raced the popular GTi class car XFG. Of course as always the relativelly slow car created close racing,leading to some rubbing and paint trading,unfortunatelly some went over the line and started to act like in other fridays event,hosted by Piran Moto.
During these 2 races just a single driver was on top of the race results - S1dus Monkey from WCL team recorded his 2nd winning streak in RTFR,the finn is the 6th driver in RTFR history to record more than 1 winning streak. Inspired by his bananas,the Monkey took a clean sweep of achievements from this race,recording his 9th racewin,7th pole position,7th fastest lap of the race and 19th top5 finish. Additionally this was the 100th race win for Finland in RTFR - another proof that drivers from this country tend to take a lot of the achievements. Chasing hard the leader was not enough,so the other front row starter after few attempts early in the race could only see his rival bocoming smaller in his sight - still a worthy 2nd place finish for the 2nd placed standings man R.Kardol,which is his 66th top5 finish. The standings leader Gábor had to regain his 3rd position through the race,that's his 36th top5 finish. Another S1dus member finished 4th - with this Unite scored his 68th top5 finish,breaking the tie for all time 2nd most top5 finishes. During the qualifying Ric98 scored his best ever result - 4th position,which is an improvement by 2 positions,but lost a position during the race and finished 5th to repeat his best result.

Just because people use LFS for other reasons,does not mean it's not an racing simulator anymore.

All-Wheel-Drive Winter Series 2023 - information
The winter is coming,in northern part of Europe it means snow and slippery road conditions as a result of snowing. What's the best way to have fun in this cold season? Pack out your all-wheel-drive car and go to a lonesome icy road or frozen lake! This is how the original idea of this league has born - take LFS's both all-wheel-drive cars,use modified road sign "Slippery road" as logo,plan a callendar to have a nice variety of racing experience and here we go - it's time for:
All-wheel-drive Winter Series 2023
The Race Green Events winter league returns for it's 12th season with a big change - a total of 8 cars are now in the league's lineup. That includes both original LFS's AWD cars,the electric XFR introduced last year with a slight update for this year,a brand new league spec buggy derived from an already existing mod and 4 cars found on the files list for public use. The schedule is extended to 8 rounds returning the season length to original length of opening 2 seasons of the league. Since each car is now used just once in the season,both minor awards FXR Master and RB4 Master have been dropped,but there are still 3 other individual titles besides main drivers champion title and rookie of the year award. With quite variating performance and handling characteristics through the cars,this will become a true allrounders challenge to win the main title this season,where all cars are connected by a single technical aspect - they all provide it's power unit's power to all four wheels.
The 2023 season is almost 3 months long and will start 2 weeks before the actual year 2023 starts - season opens on 19th december in Blackwood,where the brand new Buggy 2000 will have it's inaugural race at Blackwood's Rallycross configuration in reversed direction. It will be the 1st ever open wheel and non-saloon car,and also 1st internal combustion engine car without turbocharger in league's history. As always the 1st round of the new year is at South City,where the compact AWD GTR car PZG will be used around environment's longest configuration City Long. This car is very agile due it's low weight,slick tyres and downforce,so it will be a proper workout even if it has "just" 275 HP. The 1st electric powered car of the season will be BZ30 Roadster,run in Aston's custom configuration known under name Cup. The 280kW roadster is not really a lighweight as it carries battery for over 20 minutes of high paced racing,but with help of slicks it will be still quite quick through turns. The first half of the season will conclude with the only round that's unchanged through all 12 seasons of AWS - FXR run at Kyoto oval has always been an unpredictible spectacle for 200 kilometers.
Second half of the season starts again in one of the standard rallycross tracks - this time it's Fern Bay's version of RX track,where the RS1 Kenji will make it's debuth in RGE league racing. The powerful machine will torture it's tyres to glowing,even if assisted by minor downforce through turns. A somewhat more classic round will continue after visit in Jamaica - our well known RB4 will make it's 7th appearance in Westhill's support roads,this time it's the better known Tunnels configuration on the menu. Round 7 is the 2nd oval round of the season - it's a return of Rockingham 150,which used to be run with RB4. This year it's substituted by a car that was originally created to be a rally car - Fraud Wheeler E2,the midengined coupe is not much different from RB4 in terms of performance,but for this race it will have assistance of slick tyres. The season finale will be held at same combination as last year's opening round and most attendend round - the electrified XFR lost a bit of power,but gained additional 1/3 of the battery to extend it's range,still each of two races will require some power management to avoid lengthy recharge.
Once again AWS will be held on mondays with gap of 2 weeks between it's rounds,with exeption for 2 rounds,which will be run just a single week after previous round - both standard LFS cars are deemed to be well known and won't require this much preperation. S2 licenced users will be eligible to participate just in 2 rounds now,as other 6 are run with mod cars requiring S3 licence. Again best few racers will be awarded with small money prizes,unfortunatelly due weird Paypal algorithms/politics we're not able to offer prize payout through this platform anymore.

Each round will have a specific info and discussions thread in this forum section with all information of the round!
After round 7,no new sign-ups will be accepted. In last round only drivers received at least one point in standings will be allowed to participate!
Timetable:
18:30 UTC / 19:30 CET / 20:30 EET - 20 minutes of qualifying
19:00 UTC / 20:00 CET / 21:00 EET - race start
19:25 UTC / 20:25 CET / 21:25 EET - race start of 2nd race (in rounds 3 and 8)
Special notes on custom cars:
Some custom cars carry elements in their downloaded package configurations which are not deemed suited for racing in our events (safety car/police lights). Using such are forbidden and in case of breach driver will receive penalty for unsupported equipment. The forbidden configurations are:
* PZGG - Police
* FRWE - Cop
Special notes on rounds with electric cars:
Electric cars have limited range on their power supply,which is not long enough to complete the nominal AWS race length of 40 minutes without sacrificing race pace drastically. Recharge to full battery capacity takes several minutes,which doesn't really fit active racing concept,therefor it was decided to divide rounds run with electric car into two 20 minute races. Both races will start with same grid order (from qualifying results) and results will be counted together for one single round result. Driver's fastest lap will be the best lap during both race sessions.
As an example: in race one driver A wins with gap of 3 seconds over driver B. In race 2 driver B wins with gap of 5 seconds over driver A. In overall results driver B is the winner with gap of 2 seconds over driver A.
Special notes on qualifying:
* In rounds 4 and 7 hotlap qualifying will be used,this means there will be no specific lenght of qualifying session,every driver will run alone and have outlap and 2 hotlaps. Qualifying order will be determined by points standings - the highest ranked driver will start his qualifying run last,lowest - first. Race start will be approx. 10 minutes after qualifying.
* If there is no max allowed grid (40 cars),Drivers Championship top 10 drivers will be allowed to start from end of the grid if came late and missed qualification - noone else will be allowed to start without qualifying. In round 1 this top 10 will be taken from last season's final standings.
- To qualify for the race drivers have to set a laptime during qualifying session within 112% of best laptime of the qualifying session. This does not affect championship's top 10 drivers as they may start the race without qualifying or with laptime outside 112% of best laptime.
Championships:
AWS Drivers Champion - awarded to a driver with the most points scored through all 8 rounds,including attendance bonus points
AWS Cross Challenge Winner - awarded to a driver with the most points scored through 3 rounds run in rallycross tracks (rounds 1; 5 and 8)
AWS Oval Trophy Winner - awarded to a driver with the most points scored through 2 rounds run in oval tracks (rounds 4 and 7)
AWS Megawatt Award Winner - awarded to a driver with the most points scored through 2 rounds run with electric cars (rounds 3 and 8)
AWS Rookie of the Year - awarded to a driver,who hasn't started a single AWS race before this season,with the most points scored through all 8 rounds,including attendance bonus points (award will not be given out if less than 2 rookies have finished at least one race through season)
AWS Teams Champion - awarded to a team with the most points scored through all 8 rounds (team will score finishing points from it's 2 highest finished drivers and all round bonus points)
AWS Nations Cup Winner - awarded to a nation with the most points scored through all 8 rounds (nation will score finishing points from it's 2 highest finished drivers and all round bonus points)
In all championships - in case of a tie,higher rated will be driver/team/nation with highest finishing position,if equal - it's amount,if equal - second highest position etc. If all finishing positions happen to be equal,higher rated will be selected using same system from qualifying results. If they also happen to be equal then as a tie-breaker will be used last round finishing position. In case a tied driver had a disqualification in one or more rounds,it counts as a primary rating lowering factor,when deciding tiebreak.

Rules:
We will not make a mile long rule book that noone will read completely anyway,so we will rely on common sence of competitors to behave and follow the basic Rules of Clean Racing. There will not be an admin in server who will specifically observe drivers' behaviour during the race. If any incidents reported/protested,we will take individual approach to each of them to decide best resolution or punishment if needed.
Basic guidelines as a reminder:
> Blue flag - you may not deny/block a passing manouvre of laping car and try a repass right after it. In qualification it means - stay off racing line and don't disturb drivers on hotlap.
> Shortcuts - 2 wheels on track at all times. Track is mostly marked by white lines,rumble strips or at least defined by paved surface,while also curbs count towards track. Overtaking outside track (for example in Kyoto oval on apron) counts as illegal and will be penalized in case of protest.
> Contacts - have to be avoided at all costs as always when racing open wheel cars (B2AS),that includes also bumpdrafting. With closed wheels cars bumpdrafting is not forbidden,but in case of any reported incidents it will be treated as intentional contact,so everyone has to make sure that he knows what he is doing!
> Pit exit - allthough there will be no mandatory pitstop in this league,pit exit lines will have to be respected! Everyone caught crossing pit exit lines with more than 2 wheels will receive 10 seconds penalty added to finish result. In rounds 4 and 7,which are held in oval tracks also pit entry must be respected - driver have to enter pits on apron before final turn.
> Chatting - it's not completely outruled,but still drivers are expected to concentrate on racing. In case of too much chatting while ignoring messages asking to cease chatting,a penalty may be given. In case of any abusive/offensive language a penalty will be given! Non competing observers may not use chat at all!
> Lags - if there are any connection issues,driver will be asked to improve (close internet using programs). If driver will be considered as dangerous due to unstable connection,he will not be allowed to participate.
> Button clutch - is forbidden! Manual clutch is allowed only in combination with axis clutch. Everyone caught using it will be penalized for unsportsmanlike behaviour with increased penalty for every next offence.
> Hacks/cheats - if used,you will not race with us. Ever. As simple as that.
Possible penalties:
> WARNING - any minor infraction that needs to be noted without penalty. Warned driver might receive bigger penalty for other infractions.
> 10s added to finish time - minor infractions,like illegal passing,pit exit line violation,chat misconduct.
> 30s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 4 and 7) - medium infractions like causing avoidable incident[s] without serious consequences or unsportsmanlike behaviour,illegal passing,unsupported equipment.
> 60s added to finish time (1 lap penalty in rounds 1, 5 and 8 / 2 laps penalty in rounds 4 and 7) - medium infractions like causing avoidable incident[s] with consequences to other drivers (like affecting damage,multiple position loss) or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
> Disqualification for 1 or more rounds - heavy infractions,multiple incidents,unsportsmanlike behaviour. After serving disqualification,driver will automatically carry a "warning" for the rest of season.
> Series exclusion (including ban for any other events run under Race Green Events control) - serious infractions like intentional/revenge wrecking,event sabotage and any other malicious act.

Partially - the dashboard housing seeems to be invisible through windows,it's fine when viewing from inside.
While setting up the view,also noticed that there is a gap between door frame and roof and rear side window. And there are few more gaps around doors when looking from inside.

Both dashboard and steering wheel are floating in air. Also seems like rollcage is unfinished as it is missing some sections.

Who forces you to use the "crappy" mods? If you happen to encounter one that is great for your taste,mark it as favourite,then you will have your own hand picked list of good mods.
When it comes to user created content,there will always be quality differences. Same was already with servers - did you asked to close bad ones? Or same with layouts made by users - did you asked the bad ones to be deleted and never used again? Or skins...
Just ignore what you don't like,don't use it. Some high tiered DLC will not fix anything. Devs have proved before that they're not into huge profits unlike creators of AC[C] and iRacing,otherwise we would have S10 or so out there and subscription for online using.

This week on Race Green's FOX Tuesday... Nope,we all know it's not true - RTFR represents ever changing combos using every LFS standard car,so it was just one of the occasional appearances of the popular low performance single seater wearing the name of an animal in it's abbreviation. The tricky track had it's share of action influence and was a cause for few retirements. The 2nd part of top10 starters could not share the track when entering 1st chicane right after start,causing a chain reaction of incidents,involving many drivers even if they did best to avoid it.
4 drivers of top5 have a word S1dus in their names,the leading one not because he's a member of that team - WCL's monkey did not much monkey business,instead was racing hard as he passed for the race lead right after start of 8th lap and was unchallenged since. The finn became the 9th driver to score 8th win in RTFR,his fastest lap of the race was his 6th,it was also his 18th top5 finish. With this win Finland has now 99 RTFR race wins,meaning that next finnish winner will have the honor to score 100th RTFR win for the country. Gábor scored his 13th pole position (tying his teammates R.Kardol and Fast for 3rd most),but while trying to be more cautios through the threatening last chicane,he lost pace over charging driver and had to concede lead to him,finishing 2nd at the end - 35th top5 finish for the hungarian. Gábor's main rival for season standings win R.Kardol finished 3rd to score his 65th top5 finish. Top4 was closed by the 3rd S1dus driver Unite,who charged all the way up from 9th position on the start - with this he tied his countryman Botsi for 2nd most top5 finishes,67 a piece. Another previous RTFR winner finished 5th - Ayoub Maroc followed Unite through the chase also gaining 5 positions from grid,that's his 8th top5 finish.
VOD at Youtube:
With this RGE action takes break of 2 weeks between it's hosted events - next up on schedule is 295th RTFR,which will be run with one of the street legal cars,which and where you can find out when watching the recording of livestream. Through the break RGE will finish preperations for next yearly league - AWS is planned to start exactly 1 week before the legendary derby event,full info and signups should be posted 2 weeks before the season 12 starts.

Another previous RTFR winner finished 5th - Ayoub Maroc followed Unite through the chase also gaining 5 positions from grid,that's his 8th top5 finish.

With this RGE action takes break of 2 weeks between it's hosted events - next up on schedule is 295th RTFR,which will be run with one of the street legal cars,which and where you can find out when watching the recording of livestream. Through the break RGE will finish preperations for next yearly league - AWS is planned to start exactly 1 week before the legendary derby event,full info and signups should be posted 2 weeks before the season 12 starts.
1£ for extra skin slots is still a bargain compared to iRacing subscription fees.
Bug report: You can see through bodywork from underneath (single sided triangles). I guess best solution would be putting some blending panels on those openings.

VERL 2022 final standings
The 8th season of V8 Racing League brought a big change to it - a new car was introduced,which brought much more challenge to the racers. Unfortunatelly the challenge was to high for most,so the signups count was low and only a single previous champion signed up,still there were a total of 6 previous VERL race winners attending,but the season brought us 7th different champion in 8 years.
The 200 horsepower more powerful car scared many potential racers away as they had trouble handling the car with it's specs,so this season reached all time lows in most statistics rows - 27 signups is 3 less than last year,19 actual participants is 10 less than last year and by 7 less than lowest value in league's history. 15 points scorers however is just a sigle counter less than all time lowest from year 2020,meaning the percentual quality has actually raised. The average attendance was 11.6 drivers per round,previous lowest was 12.4 two years ago. Attendance in individual rounds variated from 14 in round one (still one less than previous lowest season high) to 9 in middle round,which is 4th highest between all season lows. No surprise was the amount of rookies - just 4 VERL newbies attended this year,one of them never finished a race.
VERL 2022 Drivers Champion: [FM]ˆﾁαtαι
The season started under the star of Fatal - he collected all 66 possible points during first 3 rounds,but had to accept a defeat in 4th round,where he finished just 2nd to his main rival. Despite the minor possibility of losing grasp on the drivers title,Fatal did not attend the final round,but still was crowned as VERL 2022 champion with 11 points gap over competition. With 3 wins during this season,Fatal reached a total of 4 in the league,which puts him in tied 3rd position in most wins chart. This was the 3rd VERL season for him,he finished 5th on his debuth,while last year he was vice-champion.
By finishing on podium in 4 rounds,winning the 4th,Unite was the only other candidate for champion's title before season finale,but he had a troublefull race,finishing just 6th,staying 2nd in final standings,repeating the result of 2018,which was the only other season where he scored a race win,last season Unite was 3rd in standings. Last season's 3rd best rookie Thehemuli was 3rd best overall this season. He did not finish in top5 just in the middle round,finishing 2nd in two rounds,which is his best result - on his debut season last year he collected just a sole top5 finish. The defending champion Gábor led 2 laps in round one,finishing 2nd,but after few incidents in first lap of round 2,he retired and never returned,giving up any chances to defend the title.
VERL 2022 Rookie of the Year: ZFRL•Motimoukari
Motimoukari achieved what his faster teammate could not last season - being best rookie of the year. Despite not attending in 4th round,Motimoukari outscored his other rookie teammate by 3 points,finishing in top5 twice.
LG-mies was the only rival for rookie of the year title,was even leading the standings by 2 points before final round,but could not challenge the teammate - he finished 8th twice through the season as his best performance. Terga joined the VERL just in season finale,dominating the race and with it placing himself as 3rd best rookie of this season. Last year's best rookie attended just in round 2,complained about car and never returned to league,finishing 17th in standings.
VERL 2022 Teams Champions: Race Green Autosports
After 8 years of racing,the league hosting team finally achieved the top position in teams championship. RGA finished 2nd in teams standings 3 times,were 3rd last year. This year having drivers who finished 4th and 5th in drivers standings was enough to edge out the teams championship by 2 points. Both regular drivers scored 6 top5 finishes through season with 2nd as best result,scoring 29 points in round 3.
Zafiralis were chasing the table leaders whole season long,but never were able to take it over despite scoring highest points count for a team 3 times in the season (once tied though). The team scored 6 top5 finishes,where the teamleader scored 2 second place finishes. The defending 2-time champions Team S1dus finished just 3rd this year as only on round 1 they had more than one points scorer - still a win and 4 other top5 finishes in their account.
VERL 2022 Nations Cup winners: Finland
This is a championship that does not change much through VERL history - Finland once again dominated the chart without having challengers,as they scored maximum points count twice and were never outscored in any round. 8 of 19 total drivers were finns and the whole drivers championship podium is taken over by finns. Finland scored a total of 4 wins (the only other winner was a slovenian) and total of 14 top5 finishes.
Rest of the teams table consists mostly of single driver nations - Latvia is 2nd with their 4th placed championship driver,Italy is third with 5th placed championship driver,ironically both were responsible for taking teams championship.
Regarding league future - seems like the car was a step too high,so next year we'll try to set up a car that will have a tick less challenge in it. Time will show if it will be an edited version of 2022 car or a brand new car,based on the current car,no other options are currently considered. First ideas are to reduce power of the car to 600HP by simply reducing boost of the turbocharger,while adding a bit more downforce for better cornering abilities,keeping the car to very similar laptime pace. Suspension rework is also one of the tasks to do in the break between seasons. Other suggested changes like adding traction control will not be even considered as VERL is supposed to be kept as a challenge to all driver's skills like precise driving and throttle control.
Our other plans include the 12th season of our longest yearly league All-wheel-drive Winter Series. Last year due time shortage we were able to include just a single new car,but this year each of the 8 planned rounds will feature a different car - 3 of those are known from past season,one is currently in final stage of building,remaining 4 will be community made cars available from mods list. The round one is planned in exactly one month (19th december),full info will be posted 2 weeks before season start. One week after AWS 2023 start we'll host the annual crashoff known under the name of This is Crashmaaas !!! - an event that will be kept in it's traditional combo. Last year server was loaded full with crashhappy people,including mr. Roberts himself,let's see what surprises this year will bring!

Official results
Season finale was held in our beloved fictional London borough - South City,where the twisty 4 kilometers long configuration City Long was run in reversed direction,making the opening curve quite scary when running flat out with the loose car at over 270 kilometers per hour. Best two drivers from qualifying kept their positions,allthough only one of them was unchallenged - again there was not much position shuffling between start and race,still most drivers had some fast paced meetings with others.
This was the 4th round of 5 where there was a dominating driver scoring all 22 points from the round,but for some change it was not the standings leader as he wasn't even attending,leaving fate of the championship under small question mark. The one who took over lead is an VERL rookie,but deffinitelly no rookie in LFS racing - Terga set a new lap record in qualifying,beating the 1:23 mark,run away from competition leading all 50 laps of the race. Terga finished the race with almost 50 seconds advantage over Thehemuli,who was running 2nd for majority of the race. The finn scored his 3rd podium finish of the season and 5th top5 finish overall. Podium was completed by series host Rony,passing his teammate on the way to it - increasing his league top5 count to 17.
Full season recap and official final standings will be posted within next week!

Once again we got a proof that only fair racing regarding track limits can be done only in South City - racers were pushing so much,that some of them forgot about fairness and simply used every patch of real estate without care if it belongs to legal racing surface or not. Could blame the track,which was built to resemble racing circuits of that era - there were no armcos,barriers or speedbumps to prevent drivers from cutting the turns or motivate not to run wide exiting turns - the latter was the bigger problem this time as that allowed the racers to go through turn with higher speed compared to fair line,gaining also advantage on following straight with higher turn exit speed. Multiple warnings and a post in this thread was no real help - some kinda blimped throttle when exiting turn,but the disadvantage of leaving track "by mistake" was not evident.
After consideration,the same penalty system as in the infamous 55th RTFR XL was used to decide penalties:
• 2/3 of covered laps count (10 or more violations in full distance) - disqualification from race results
• 1/2 - 2/3 of covered laps count (7-9 violations in full distance) - 45 seconds penalty added to finish time
• 1/3 - 1/2 of covered laps count (5-6 violations in full distance) - 30 seconds penalty added to finish time
• 1/5 - 1/3 of covered laps count (3-4 violations in full distance) - 15 seconds penalty added to finish time
Additionally fastest laps in qualifying were checked and everyone violating track limits in their fastest lap will receive 5 seconds penalty added to finish time.
Also there were few incident reports:
Antonio runs into turn with too high speed for the situation,where another car is on outside of the right turn of chicane - avoidable contact happens with multiple positions loss to the victim.
Even if report lacks proper description and has too much personal opinion,incident was identified. Doktor misses braking point and with avoiding action prevents a mass crash.
G.Contrera's controls input shows full throttle despite having a car with less speed right ahead until contact happens.
* PENALTIES :
• The following drivers receives 5 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on their fastest lap in qualifying - unfair grid position gain (marked with red circle in session results):
- B2ﾏ Antonio, S1DUS*uNite, ｢ﾏｧ｣ TJ, (FJ)Leandro911, ｲﾑm® Lalurux, ｲﾑm®Jhoiner, B2ﾏ Rayman, Iron|Doni, [GzR] NosaziK, lerssi, 26 G. Contrera., RGˆM@CI3K, [WCL] J.A.Katila, FRT Temporato
[FU] NOSLE - receives 30 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on 6 occasions.
S1DUS*GáboR - receives 45 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on 8 occasions.
B2ﾏ Antonio - receives 45 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on 8 occasions.
B2ﾏ Antonio - receives 30 seconds penalty added to his finish time for avoidable incident on lap 1 chicane. Future incidents will lead to race ban as the driver has already heavy incident in his past.
S1DUS*uNite - receives 15 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on 3 occasions.
[MRc] Texas - receives 15 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on 3 occasions.
ｲﾑm®Jhoiner - receives 15 seconds penalty added to his finish time for track limits violation on 3 occasions.
ｲﾑm®Jhoiner - receives a WARNING for avoidable contact on lap 1 exiting the turn after the tunnel.
26 G. Contrera. - receives 45 seconds penalty added to his finish time for avoidable incident on lap 3,turn 2. Future incidents might lead to disqualification.
(FJ)Leandro911 - receives a DISQUALIFICATION from race results for track limits violation on 18 occasions.
｢ﾏｧ｣ Doktor - receives a WARNING for dangerous situation on approach to final turn of lap 1. Even if the sight is covered by other cars and these have no brake lights,driver must be aware of track postion and apply brakes in time to avoid such dangerous situations that have a potential for mass incident.

2nd race in row was held on track with "historic" in it's name,this time it was truly historic type of track - layed out on public roads,marked by arrows and hay bales. Despite all the nagations above in the post,still it was an intense race with a car with very specific driving characteristics,unknown to drivers mostly driving much more modern cars. The heavy revving inline 8-cylinder engine delivered just 150 horsepower,the lack of differential lock made the racing more difficult,the skinny tyres were deliviring just a small contact patch - conditions that were well known to drivers from that era,but new to learn to our simracers.
With all the penalties we have a new surprise winner of the race - the brazilian driver would have just repeated his best previous result 4th if the drivers ahead would have stayed fair,but TJ was promoted to race win despite the 5 seconds penalty for track limits violation in qualifying - it's the 4th top5 finish for the unexpected winner. Also Thehemuli climbed 3 positions up due penalties and repeated his previous best finishing result - 2nd,scoring his 5th top5 finish. Nosle finished 3rd and with 30 seconds penalty gets also classified 3rd - that's 6 positions higher than his previous best. Even if Gábor crossed the finish line first and posed for photos on victory lane,his racewin was revoked and the season standings leader was demoted to 4th place due track limits violations,including in his fastest lap of the race - still a 34th top5 finish for him. It was just 4th RTFR race for Tazka and even without penalties for the rivals it would have been best ever finish for him - the original 6th place finish was upgraded to his 1st top5 finish. Additionally the 2 fastest drivers have to be mentioned,coincidentally they even met directly on track - R.Kardol's lap was the fastest legal lap in qualifying,earning the dutchman his 13th pole position,that is a tied 3rd most with Fast. Despite multiple track limits violations,Antonio's fastest lap of the race was legal,proving that staying within track limits can be fast too. That's his 1st fastest lap of the race in his 2nd attendance.

On the coming week RGE will not offer racing on tuesday,but the monday is the day for VERL season finale at South City - signups are still open,so everyone can still take the challenge of a wild 650 horsepower car in an urban environment. More information and signups in VERL forum section. But in 2 weeks RTFR will return with a standard LFS car that wears slick tyres - clue about combo can be seen in broadcast,full info as always in the weekend before the race.

Round 5
Monday,14th November
18:30 UTC / 19:30 CET / 20:30 EET
V8 Racing League of this year has reached it's final section - the season finale is only round that's left. Unfortunatelly the whole intrigue for drivers championship is gone as it is very unlikelly for standings leader to lose the lead and give up the title,but theoretical chance is still there,so there is not much room for error. Rookie of the year battle however is still undecided - 2 teammates will have to settle between themselves who will earn the honor as there are just 2 points between them. The biggest excitement is teams championship - the race in South City will see 4 teams racing for the title as just 5 points seperate them.
This is already the 2nd temporary circuit in series calender,but the first one set in urban environment - South City itself is well known for LFS racers and also the longest configuration should be well pressed in their memory. So the only variable that changes is the car - the new VERL car does not have as much downforce as old one,so drivers have to learn in handling in faster turns and be ready for rear wheels of the car trying to overtake front ones if not careful with throttle.

After seeing few drivers in practice,I'm forced to remind about track limits: the track is defined by paved surface (asphalt/tarmac,while sidewalks on and after bridge are also accepted),grass however does not count as track. The general rule is as always - 2 wheel on track at all times! That means not just cutting turns over grass is track limits violation,but also running wide exiting turn is track limits violation if more than 2 wheels leave the paved surface.
In case you left the track by mistake,make sure it's obvious there is no advantage gained (lift throttle) - if driver ahead increases gap or driver behind decreases gap after you have run off track,then no post race action will be taken.
All the points scoring laps (in qualifying and in race fastest lap) will be checked by default after the race,while rest will be checked randomly. Drivers seen leaving voluntary the legal racing surface will be checked through whole distance. Remember - this race will be broadcasted,so we'll have clues already from there!
