True!

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.

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.

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:

Quote from S1DUS*uNite via RGA discord :

RTFR #293 - mpr timecode 1:35 - lap 1 sector 2 start
B2R Antonio divebombs into the chicane as if i wasn't there, i give him room to clear chicane 2 wide but i guess the concept of give and take is too much to understand

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.

Quote from S1DUS*uNite via RGA discord :

RTFR #293 - mpr timecode 2:39 - lap 1 last turn
Check this as well please, no clue how one could misbrake like this and nothing really happened but if i hadn't looked at my mirror the whole time during this corner i'd have been conveniently sideswiped

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.

Quote from ZFRL•LG-mies via RGA discord :

293rd RTFR: Lap 3 Turn 2
G. Contrera rear-ended me on the exit of turn 2 with barely no effort to avoid the collision, ending up sending me into the wall and suffer damage that would end my race

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):

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.

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.

Round info:
Track: SO City Long Reversed (SO4R)
Laps: 50
Previous winners: S1DUS*GáboR (2021), S1DUS*S.Litmanen (2020; 2015), Teho | Altsu (2019), Botsi (2018), v\A.Wiśniewski (2017), CoRe S.Souders (2016)

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!

And now everyone should click on some suspicious link and check?

Quote from (FR) Pablo via Race Green discord :

rtfr xl #71, lap 1 turn 2
DD tBug (Yasso7up ) rear ends deliberately FR Pablo (xpablousky/me xd) into the braking zone, sending me into other drivers.

Controls of Tbug show full throttle input in area where all other drivers are already braking and that while being less than 3 meters behind car ahead. Result is contact with high speed difference.


* PENALTIES :
(FJ)Leandro911 - receives 30 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation on 3 occasions.
B2ﾏ naluyluka - the unserved drive-through penalty is converted in 30 seconds penalty as per LFS standard rules.
Nando_Lonso - receives 20 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation on 2 occasions.
[MRc] Zesty - receives 10 seconds penalty added to his finish time for pit exit line violation.
[WCL] P.Koivunen - the unserved drive-through penalty is converted in 30 seconds penalty as per LFS standard rules.
Jereloco - receives a DISQUALIFICATION from race results for leaving car unattended on grid and avoidable incident on lap 28 (increased penalty due previous penalties and warnings). Since the driver has caused a lot of trouble in past and has even received final warning,Race Green Events has no other options and has to ban the driver from all it's hosted events for 6 months starting from raceday of 71st RTFR XL.
｢DD｣ tBug - receives a DISQUALIFICATION from race results for avoidable incident on lap 1. Future misbehaviour will lead to race ban.

The LFS's fastest standard car set to race in London's boroughs maze-like course led to plenty of high tempers between the drivers,while pitlane was as busy as it has ever been in RTFR events - there were a total of 34 visits in the pitlane,3 of those to serve speeding penalty in previous visits. Even if just 13 drivers from 24 starters crossed the finish line after the chequered flag was displayed,a total of 18 drivers are classified in results,which leads to 75% finishing percentage and highest finishers count in RTFR XL history in races with BF1 (previous highest - 15)

Gábor was the only driver to beat 1:14 mark in qualifying to score his 5th pole position (tied 3rd most),even if he lost the lead in 1st lap and had to follow for 20 laps,he regained it and pulled away from competition to score his 3rd RTFR XL racewin,setting fastest lap of the race on the way,which is his 4th,additionally he scored his 11th top5 finish. The current rating and standings leader Fatal did not saw much of the leaders,but still finished in solid 2nd position which practically seals the deal to win RTFR XL 2022 standings before the final race in december - he also rounded up his top5 count to 10. Fatal's teammate Number started from inside of row 2,but still found a way past the polesitter to lead first 20 laps of the race,but after his 2 pitstops he could finish only 3rd,being also the last driver on lead lap,3rd top5 finish for him. Remaining 2 drivers are teammates of S1dus,making top5 consist only of drivers from 2 teams - Unite finished 4th to score his 19th top5 finish to become the sole 3rd best in the most top5 finishes chart,R.Kardol finished 5th which is his 33rd top5 finish.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
This was the 5th race in the SO City Long configuration - the course breaks the tie and is now the most used configuration in specific direction in RTFR XL races. Interestingly during these 5 races the SO4 has seen both ends of LFS's default car paces - UF1 and BF1.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
With full fuel tank the BF1 could complete just around 35 laps from 62,so technically no clock pitters by default rules. Still even full refill requires less than 10 seconds for this car,so few drivers still needed to wait after pitwork was finished - Unite had the shortest pitstop from everyone with his 10.06 seconds pitstop.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
This time the one with his name in event's logo was the one to gain most positions beween start and finish - technically starting 18th and finishing 6th Rony had a gain of 12 positions in this race. The value was repeated also by Leandro and Michal but as always the one finishing higher counts as better field rusher.

The combo for the final race of the year has been selected and it will bring FXO in the race. But not a standard FXO - this one has been exported to Australia,rebuilt to fit in their local racing series and now reimported back to our virtual country. As you might now suspect,it's the FXO V8Supercar,which delivers over 600 horsepower to it's rear axle,while it's weight exceeds 1500kg together with driver. The venue will be Kyoto National configuration,returning in the event for the 4th time. But that will happen just in 6 weeks from this race - RTFR XL races are set to be run just once in a month and with usual 4 weeks gap it would be 2 races in november.
Until then there will be 2 normal RTFR races - next one already on coming tuesday. The incomplete info about combo was given on livestream 2 tuesdays ago,full info will be posted on sunday.

Quote from ZFRL•LG-mies via RGA discord server :

VERL 2022: Round 4, Lap 2 turn 2
J.A.Katila took inside line and understeered right into me while there was plenty of room for him to complete the corner.

J.A.Katila can't hold the inside line through turn and hits car on the outside.


PENALTIES:

[WCL] J.A.Katila - receives 30 seconds penalty added to his finish time for avoidable incident on lap 2. Repeated offence might lead to higher penalty.

VERL returns to it's origins - England,where Aston awaited racers with it's fastest configuration named National. The league's nominal distance of 200km was completed in less than 55 minutes,averaging 220.8 kilometers per hour,while most drivers were exceeding 320km/h for their top speed. Unlike in previous round,this time there were plenty of position changes as only one driver finished in same position he started,however these changes were limited in closed groups without mixing between.

From the start it looked like business as usual - series leader being fastest in qualifying,running in lead and driving towards yet another race win. Unite however had different plans - he followed the leader within line of sight for the 1st phase of the race,waited until he turned into pitlane and took the lead which he never gave up. On the final lap of the race Unite even set the fastest known laptime with VERL car in the Aston National,securing also the point for fastest lap besides 20 for race win - that was his 2nd VERL win,the other one was scored 2018. Fatal saw his winning streak cut when he realized that Unite rejoined from pits with a solid gap ahead,still scored 18 points for 2nd place finish and pole position. Thehemuli was one of 2 drivers who were able to climb up 2 positions between start and finish (the other one was his only attending teammate) and finished 3rd to score his 2nd podium finish.


With one round left to run,situation in drivers championship is practically decided - with 21 points gap to only left title rival,Fatal just needs to score a single point in season finale at South City to take the title without needing to worry about any possibilities. Either pole position,fastest lap of the race or completed 2/3 of race distance in any position is enough to score that needed one point. Unite's win in this round kept his chances alive,but the effort was too little and too late - only full points set and standings leader's failure to score a single point can still him put on the champion's throne (alternativelly Fatal's non attendance allows him to lose one of the round bonus points). Thehemuli is now 3rd with 13 points gap to 2nd position,so he also might settle for current position. With leader's non attendance,rookie of the year standings has a new leader - LG-mies overtook his teammate and has 2 points advantage before final round,which is too small gap to start calculate possibilities.

In the teams championship the leading 4 teams managed to get even closer together as both leaders scored 18 points,while both chasers - 3 more. Now there are just 5 points between 1st and 4th - Fragmaster still leads by 2 over RGA,followed by S1dus in 3rd with 4 points gap and Zafiralis in 4th with 5 points gap. Again such situation is way too close to calculate possible scenarios as there are way too many possibilities,the only constant value is Fragmaster's advantage in any tiebreak situation due the 3 wins. Since not a single new latvian driver signed up,Finland clinched the nations cup right with the start of round signups lock out (10 minutes before round start) - not that a new signup would matter as finns scored maximum possible 39 points for the 2nd time in season and has now 3 times more points than 2nd placed nation Latvia. Italy is 3rd with 6 points gap to 2nd position.

After wide and fast Aston VERL drivers might get claustrophobic as next round is set in the urban concrete maze at the South City - the longest configuration is 4 kilometers long,meaning 50 laps is the race distance to endure on the way to glory. Even if the intrigue for drivers championship practically is gone,it will still be a great competition for race win and also teams championship.

If someone hasn't received it due some mistake,please give a notification!

Signups are still open (until 18:20 UTC raceday) and new entries will receive PM at some point during sunday/monday.

Options - Controls - Button control rate - max up to 10 and you will have much faster button response.

Still this is a car racing simulator and you don't see cars in world driving around with mouse or keyboard,so you can't really complain about wheel being in some way advantaged as it is the closest control to the real one - rest is just adaptation to be able to control the car.

Penultimate round of the 5 round series is up next and this has a potential to be a decider - current standings leader can seal the deal with good performance or turn the championship around with some bad luck. Since there are only 6 potential candidates for the title,rest including new potential signups might be more interested to put themselves either in the winners list or polesitters list of the league rather than scoring points for championship,or help their team or nation to score more points than before.

Series returns to England after the low attended trip to tropical island - Aston awaits with the relativelly simple configuration built for high speeds. This will confuse the drivers when setting up car - is it better to have higher top speed or be better in the few turns and compromise the top speed? Being faster on straights will surely mean being slower in the 1st turn of the track,while most other turns are rather slow. Since this is the 1st season with these cars,the selection is quite open as noone has any experience in actual competition in this track.

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).

Blackwood Historic configuration is relativelly short,consisting by 1/3 of one long straight and that results in close racing also with faster cars like NGTs,especially in early laps. That lead to a "big one" - an incident on lap 2 exiting 1st turn,where some rubbing lead to chain reaction involving directly or at least impacting time wise at least 1/3 of the field. Result was a quite unusual 11 pitstops in a 30+ minutes mid-distance race where mostly noone makes a pitstop. Still despite damage and low position expectations,most drivers kept on racing as there were just 2 retirements from 28 starters,which is 2nd highest attendance in RTFR races with XFR.

The last year's champion was on top of the game in this edition of RTFR - R.Kardol's time was tied in qualifying,but just like in LFS's WR standings,the 1st to set best time counts as the fastest,therefor the dutchman scores his 12th pole position in the event,tying Gábor (who tied the laptime) and Litro for 4th most pole positions in RTFR history. By leading all 26 laps,R.Kardol did not see much of competition even if the closest rival was gettting bigger in his mirror in last 1/3 of the race,so he tied another big value in RTFR history - 15 wins (3rd most together with Agent and Merenui,the latter also was attending this race),scoring also his 64th top5 finish. Botsi started 3rd,gained a position soon and finished 2nd just like 4 weeks ago on his previous visit after longer break - 67th top5 finish for him,still 2nd most. Current season standings leader Gábor lost that position to his teammate and finished 3rd to score his 33rd top5 finish,while chasing the leaders he set the fastest lap of the race,his 13th,tying Agent and Fast for 3rd most of those. Current 10 race racing leader Unite closed the S1dus row of drivers with 4th place finish,scoring his 66th top5 finish. Top5 was closed by driver from other team,but still having "S1dus" in his name - a monkey representing the sponsoring team WCL scored his 17th top5 finish here.
