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).

First of all - let's keep the reports short and detailed. Without exaggerations of distance (it was 13m instead of 30m) or quotes of deceased racing drivers or praises how skilled you are (these 2 parts were removed). Thank you!
Both reports are about 3 incidents,neither of those display clean racing we would like to see,however neither of them includes actions needed to be penalized with result influencing penalties.
Incident 1: (lap 25,last turn) - TJ brakes very late,however does a lot to avoid hitting car ahead,ending up with a minor touch.
Incident 2: (lap 26,turn 2) - in the braking zone TJ enters turn rather early,Gábor leaves turn entry very late - both drivers practically go for same position and meet there with equal share of fault.
Incident 3: (lap 26,the "busstop" chicane) - Gábor takes very wide entry line,TJ uses that and jumps into inside - both cars collide when TJ understeers on 2nd left turn and Gábor does not react on car fully inside.
* PENALTIES :
｢ﾏｧ｣ TJ - receives a warning for avoidable contact in the "busstop" chicane - car on inside should be able to hold inner line through whole turn.
S1DUS*GáboR - receives a warning for insults in chat and unsportsmanlike behaviour after the finish. Future misbehaviour will lead to actual penalty.

The Container Sprint track is well known for some from V8 Racing League,where it's a regular challenge for the powerful single seaters,however for the Formula SAE member from McGill Racing Team it was a great ground to close racing - as you can see on stream,occasianally cars gaggled in packs and were racing for position. With 26 drivers attending,this was a step backwards in terms of attendance for this car compared to previous 2 races,but still 9 drivers more than all time average attendance.
Despite being just 2nd fastest in qualifying (repeated personal best),TJ proved he can still challenge his long time rival in this race - he slipped into lead early on and exchanged positions with polesitter several times before Gábor was able to create a gap for most of the race. However during last 1/3 of the distance the brazilian started to deplete the gap,setting fastest lap of the race just before catching leader - that's his 2nd one in RTFR. During 26th lap both drivers got involved in a bit physical dispute,eventually TJ took the race lead and last lap was just a formality before taking chequered flag for his 2nd RTFR race win and 9th top5 finish. Gábor started the day well,increasing his chances to stretch his winning streak by taking the pole position,which is his 31st,however during later half of the race could not upkeep high pace,allowing main rival to catch and eventually also pass him - 64th top5 finish for the hungarian and his winning streak has to be started again. Despite setting 2nd fastest lap of the race,Unite was not a contender for race win and finished 3rd with 10 seconds gap to winner - 83rd top5 finish for the 2nd fastest shoe in the field. The honorary "certificate" for winning the multicar battle goes to Thehemuli,who finished 4th overall in the race,taking his 3rd top5 finish in row and 13th in total,top5 was closed by a newcomer in the event series Suforr,who finished a race in RTFR with 2nd try and straight in 5th position.

The of round 7 brought quite an unknown factor in the field - it wasn't really known if this track suits powerful cars with it's straights or agile cars with the tricky turn sequences,but now when looking at the results it's more the 2nd option,however 2nd place finisher was with car more suited for fast tracks. with 21 drivers this was the lowest attended round of the season and repeated 2nd lowest of the 1.5 years short history of the league - however this is a known trait of many leagues where attendance is dropping towards end of season and during summer vacation time,august round might be even lower attended.
RB4 was deffinitelly one of the best suited cars for this track and the lithuanian driver with only numbers in his name was the only one to get it in draw. 136 was over 2 seconds faster in qualifying over almost 200 seconds long lap and was already 3 seconds away from competition when crossing 1st split of 1st lap. During the race 136 found almost another second to improve fastest lap and finished almost 22 seconds ahead of competition,clocking by far the biggest margin of victory this season. With this the RB4 is the 2nd car ever to win and set fastest lap of the race in back to back races while it was the 1st time ever when a single car was on pole position in 2 races in row. Current championship standings leader J.Holmes got the 1.5 ton sports car of late 90ies (just like the not attending standings 2nd place) and wasn't too pleased with it in qualifying,setting just 4th fastest laptime,but had a good start with it,taking 2nd place already in 1st lap,but that's where his progress stalled and the englishman repeated his lowest finishing result in this series. Another non-continental european took the bottom step of the podium - Twincam put his FXO on front row in qualifying,but lost the position early and despite all the efforts never regained it. He finished over 2 seconds behind closest rival in 3rd position,repeating his best finishing result here.
With 2nd place finish J.Holmes of course kept his lead in standings,however his closest rival is the most recent winner 136,who is now 21 points behind,M lost another position and is now 3rd with 34 points gap to leader.
Born 2 Race repeated season highest score of 44 points and with that extended their lead in teams championship to 52 points over defending champions RGA,Zafiralis is still 3rd and starting to secure the position more and more. Only a single lithuanian attended in this round,so Lithuania's lead over defending champions Finland was reduced to 40 points,no changes in 3rd position either - UK sets apart from rest of the table. There is however a new leader in manufacturers championship - BZ30 is the 2nd model that has reached the required 6 scores and has better points average than XM-5,leading by 6 points. 3rd is XF Coupe,which still needs the 6th score to be eligible for championship,but currently has better average score than leaders.
Most drawn car of the round was 8JFZ SUPERCELESTRAL with 4 draws,however only half of them arrived,closelly followed by Acosta,Stellar and Talot with 3 draws each. Most drawn car all time is still Talot with 42 draws,Acosta has cought up to BZ30 and Imprezzive B2 - all 3 cars have been drawn 39 times.
8JFZ is also the first to mention in new highest results section - J.Holmes' 2nd place finish is 4 positions higher than his rival's previous best result with this car. 2 drivers swapped the best results with the cars - Twincam finished 3rd and beat Arska's 4th place finish with FXO (and repeated 2nd place in qualifying),while Arska beat Twincam's 14th position with Fend Torus by finishing 12th. Also other version of Fend Torus saw the best result improved - Thehemuli qualified the Fend Torus T in 7th position and brought it to 4th place in finish,beating J.A.Katilas 20th and 16th positions respectivelly. 2 cars were drawn for the 1st time,both were also used straight away,setting new initial best results - LG-mies run the FZ70 to 18th in qualifying and improved the result in finish to 11th position,but Unite qualified 14th and dropped down to 19th in finish with the Bavaria A34.
Next round theoretically should be the fastest ever in RandomCar - the selected track consists of 3 long straights and few tricky turns that connect them. The race in Aston National will be 15 laps long and with 84 kilometers it will be the longest distance in the series besides the 1h season finale race. Cross your fingers to not get a low power car for next round!

Season 2 of 2024 did not start with such bang as season 1 - and that's a good sign. The compact roadster which isn't that light as it's older counterpart in real world produced pretty much typical TBO class racing,which is anything else then than surprising as this car runs with minor 4% intake restriction in our PL200 class series RandomCar. However the rather narrow rear tyres did not provide as much grip as the performancewise similar XRT,therefor besides focusing on cornering,racers had to keep their throttle foot light when exiting turns.
A lot of views were towards Gábor during this race - he was on the way to reach few milestones here and since there was not the strongest possible competition around,he did not dissapointed his fans. In qualifying the hungarian was more than half a second faster than closest rivals,scoring the 30th pole position for himself. Gábor started good and was starting to build advantage on competition,which was enough to lead all 29 race laps,however his gap was shrinking and he crossed the finish line with just over a second lead. That was still enough to score his 36th RTFR race win,tying the all time best win count of Botsi,held since november 2021. Besides this,Gábor set another history books entry - his winning streak continues and with 4th win in row he has now 2 winning streaks of 4 wins,that hasn't been done by anyone before. Additionally it was his 63rd top5 finish. A.Valta qualified just 3rd,but during race found some pace and even nicked fastest lap of the race to score his 7th of those. But in the chase for win the finn run out of laps and finished 2nd in his 1st RTFR race this year,scoring his 21st top5 finish. Thehemuli used the chance to snatch 3rd position from 2 rivals fighting for it and added 12th top5 finish to his achievements,Arska lost the battle for 3rd position,but won the one for 4th position,scoring his 31st top5 finish. 136 achieved his best qualifying result yesterday by setting 2nd fastest laptime in session - that's 1 position better than his previous best,however the race brought some regress in positions as he finished just 5th and that for the 3rd race in row - 4th top5 finish in total.
VOD at Youtube:
Hints about 338th RTFR can be seen in broadcast recording,however the combo for next RTFR XL is now known too - it will be the Radix P6 in Blackwood's chicane free configuration Historic reversed. The server will be set up for combo testing soon as we need to find out best possible laptime for distance calculation. Next week the server will be taken by RandomCar,where the 7th round of the season will take place in custom configuration in Westhill.

For those who missed the livestream,here's video on demand with all the action from the race:
Regarding handling - it is very tailhappy unless set up understeery,however I did not expect it to be different considering it's weight,wheelbase and rather narrow tyres.
Additionally could suggest to make a cup version of this car - with slightly reduced weight (interior strip),slightly raised power (engine tuning),rollcage and slicks.

Tomorrow we will take this car for a spin in Fern Bay - if anyone interested,join,if just curious how it looks - check the livestream. The public RTFR promo skin attached in case someone wants to use it.

Another productive 4 weeks between 2024 rounds 6 and 7 - total of 4 cars have been added to the lineup,coincidentally all based on cars hailing from same region,3 of them even based on same manufacturer. With cars list exceeding 40 cars,we will start to slow down a bit new cars additions as all new approved cars will now have to go through approval of our discord members,while unapproved car voting will be done only between seasons.
The alphabet starts with A and so the descriptions will start with ADDA AR-EIGHT V10 - it is the 2nd supercar type car in the cars list besides the URC1 and also the 2nd car with double figure count of cylinders as it has 10 of those. With AWD system,wide tyres,paddle shift and some downforce help it's rather easy to drive,the 37% intake restriction results in the lowest power to weight ratio (172.6hp/ton) in the field,but still might be restricted more once setups have been developed.
B for Bavaria is added twice in this addition - first one is the smaller BAVARIA A30 N POWER EVO,a 2 door sedan type coupe hailing from late 80ies. Being pretty much on similar pace as rest of the PL200 class,this car requires just 1% restrictor for balancing.
The other one is BAVARIA A34 N POWER - a slightly younger and bigger brother of previous car. It's a 4-door sedan with rather high weight and it joins the series as the 4th car with 300 or more horsepower engine power and that is with already added 5% air restrictor.
The 4th car is actually 2 generations younger version of BAVARIA A30 - the DASH 46 hails from very late 90ies and brings modern features to help the driver keep the car under control. It had to be tamed with 14% intake restriction to be on same pace as rest of the cars.

* PENALTIES :
R.Guy - receives 60 seconds penalty added to his finish time for failure to serve the mandatory pitstop. The penalty results in loss of last completed lap.
#29 J.Coetzee - receives a final warning for low awareness of surroundings and low driving standards.
[PACT] tBug - receives a final warning for multiple avoidable contacts. A driver with incidents records in many series still proves lack of ability to learn - while others are racing a 64 laps race,taking care of material and recources required to finish race without repairs,this particular driver seems to be interested in passing others by any means necessary without care of damage and retires when realizes that good result is not possible. This kind of behaviour is not welcome here!
AA™| Goico - receives a warning for chatting while not participating in race. We don't need commentators or wannabe helpers - other drivers are well aware of blue flags and if not,your repeated impersonal binds will not help either but just distract others.

The most used car in RTFR XL returned once again - this was already the 8th race in series with FZR. Another repeat was South City Town Course,used already in 58th RTFR XL with this car,however yesterday we run the track in reversed direction,so at least this was an unique combo. With 24 drivers in qualifying this was pretty much average attendance this year,however 4 of them left server and did not start the race.
Just like in other RTFR version,Gábor also here started a winning streak (his 3rd in RTFR XL) - he used his own selected combo and run away from competition finishing 47 seconds ahead of everyone,not lapping just 3 others. The hungarian started the event by tying Botsi for all time most pole positions (11),the race win is his 10th,the fastest lap of the race is his 11th (now sole 2nd most) and the top5 finish - his 20th (4th driver to reach this count). Winner's teammate completed S1dus duo on top in results in both qualifying and race - however Unite needed some luck to finish 2nd,which is his 27th top5 finish. This was only the 2nd RTFR XL for Doktor and his previous attendance did produce a rather low result as he finished 23rd,however yesterday he improved his achievements here to 4th position in qualifying and 3rd place finish in race. Sean was the last driver on lead lap,4th place finish is repeat of his best result here and 3rd top5 finish in total. Also for Madjester this was the best RTFR XL - it was his 9th event and 6th place in qualifying was and improvement by 5 positions and 5th place finish - improvement by 4.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Having races in both directions we can compare times - world record lap is 0.48s faster in original direction,while the 64 laps race was completed 47.56 seconds slower than in 58th RTFR XL or 33.81 seconds slower when comparing same driver Gábor,which is 0.52s per lap difference - that is just 0.04 seconds more when compared to world record difference.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Again it was rather unlikelly to complete the race without pitwork (except for one driver who did not pit at all finishing all but 2 laps),so the mention goes to one with simply shortest pitstop - Rony changed only 3 tyres compared to most others with full new set,recording pitstop with 10.27 seconds length.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
There was not much advancements - most were done by Ayoub Maroc,who started (technically) 16th and finished 10th,making 6 positions progress in the race,which is 2 more than 2nd best.
VOD at Youtube:
Since noone may select combo for 2 races in row,the selection has been relayed to 2nd place finisher Unite - he is yet to reply to message,so currently combo for 92nd RTFR XL is unknown. Also unknown is combo of 337th RTFR (which is also 2024 season 2 opening round) scheduled for next week - this will be announced only this weekend.

I saw this in server's log. Question is - did you actually went on track? I mean if you pressed ready button and your car was actually in pitlane. Because on the setup screen the app cannot actually see your settings,only when you're on track - that's why the app gives you 30s time to actually join the track (or change settings if button clutch has been set up).
More like drag should be fixed - such huge steel brick should not have same air resistance as a small coupe like XRT.

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).

* PENALTIES :
Joshie #56[G920] - removed the right to start the race for lack of awareness of surroundings and multiple incidents under blue flag.
Joe Coetzee - disqualified from race results for multiple incidents,lack of awareness of surroundings,low driving standards.
Both drivers should gather up experience elsewhere before returning - currently you both are just a dangerous moving chicane that disturbs racing for other drivers. Repeated such behaviour will lead to race ban.

Form07 was the 3rd most attended car until yesterday,so it was bound to return to RTFR. But knowing it's handling specialities,an offseason race was selected for return - so yesteday we raced it in the tricky short track of Aston Cadet. Without surprise,the event repeated lowest attendance of this year (1st RTFR of the year was also off-season race) while last time with 10 cars in finish was recorded in 309th RTFR.
Gábor however was not influenced by lack of competition and extended his winning streak to 3 - that is his 2nd such streak with a chance to extend it to repeated his longest winning streak in 2 weeks. After leading the latest 34 laps of the 35 laps race,he picked up his 35th RTFR race win,taking also 29th pole position,31st fastest lap of the race (40th for Hungary) and 62nd top5 finish. Thehemuli set new personal best result in qualifying - 2nd place is a position better than his previous best,he had a great start and led the 1st lap of the race,which is his 1st led lap in RTFR,however had no arguments against polesitters pace and had to settle for 2nd place,repeating his best result in series,scoring his 11th top5 finish. Arska took the bottom step of podium in his 100th RTFR,rounding also his top5 count - to 30. Unite snoozed the qualifying and started from back of the grid,but still climbed up to 4th position in final results,scoring his 82nd top5 finish,driver with number in his name 136 closed the top5 for 2nd race in row,scoring his 3rd top5 finish in total.
Next week on the menu is RTFR XL with FZR at South City's Town Course configuration in reversed direction - full info will be posted on friday,however in 2 weeks normal RTFR will start the 2024 season 2 with one of the road legal cars - which and where is yet to be decided.

3rd running of this event attracted much more riders than previous one - a total of 15 were able to finish the course at least once,putting their names in the results,few more attempted but failed to finish. A total of 32 attempts were completed during the 3 hours of partially interrupted event time,7 of those were done by most experienced rider while 7 riders finished just a single attempt. The inbetween improved bike physics helped with stability and speed - this year the 2-lap course was finished 50 seconds faster with average speed of 151 km/h,which is 13 km/h more than last year. In fact a total of 4 riders were quicker than last year's best result with 5th one coming quite close.
The winner's name is no surprise - it's still the same lithuanian Simox,who's topping all bike competitions he attends,also here he was the only to beat 9 minutes mark and that by almost 20 seconds. Unlike last year,Simox focused on riding only a single bike model,setting time in 6 of his 7 attempts faster than everyone else's try. Rest of the podium was taken by winner's teammates - all 3 riders from the Squid team finished in top3 of event results,Philippines rider Red was 2nd best with 20.84 seconds gap to winner in his debuth in the event,beating his british teammate Yung by 8 seconds.
Top4 times were set by currently the fastest road going bike Chimera,2nd best was Reaper,which put Clas in 5th place in overall results,3rd fastest was Vulcan,which best time was set by Unite,who later switched to Chimera. A total of 6 different bikes were used during the event,interestingly each of them having a different rider to set the fastest time of it.
Since this edition is considered as success as the attendance increased a lot compared to last year,there should not be doubts about 4th running next year - again same time (estimated 3-4 weeks after cars race),same place. What's unsure is if there will be any changes to track,however bike lineup should stay same as this year plus new mods if they're eligible for event format and fullfill basic quality standards.
Race Green Events thanks all riders for participation and guys behind the scenes for their input and efforts - voluntary testers and modders. As always everyone is welcome to share their experience from the event,either in form of text,pictures or videos! Also (even if that rarely happens) - we're awaiting winner's speach!
