3 cars with challenger status have been added for entries that would like to participate,but don't want to deal with rather high pace of PL200W class cars.
Selected are both LFS GTI class cars and the only eligible staff pick mod.

Entries running cars with challenger status are exempt from mandatory pitstop requirement!

Car full name: GM_SST_MLE9

Car application denied as it has rollcage - that does not comply with generic road legal cars rules. Additionally the original car (MEMOLUTION 9) and all it's derivatives were checked - none of them would be acceptable (mostly due too high downforce).

A reminder - server will be password protected 1 hour before qualifying start to keep not knowing crowded server jumpers out of way,pass will be always the same: green

Pitting rules:
Race requires a minimum time spent in pitstall of 10 seconds. That can be done either with single pitstop or sum of multiple pitstops. Driver who has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by tripling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 5 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 1 minute penalty added to finish time (10s*3 + additional 30s).

I noticed this car has very unrealistically low drag value - according to LFS max possible speed is 240km/h (without taking tyre resistance into account),that's way too high for a 125hp car. Drag should by increased so the top speed is just above 200km/h - there is a real car as comparision for data.

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

Time to time RTFR offers a properly though challenge and this tuesday it was turn of one of these - the 490 horsepower LFS's home grown GTR class car XRR was raced in Fern Bay,which is a challenge of it's own when using standard tracks. This tuesday we took scenic route instead of standard - Black XL configuration alters the normal course of the track and uses rallycross part of Fern Bay. Of course we're not absolute monsters,so we paved the dirt sections of rallycross part with some concrete,still the twisty turns posed plenty of challenge,so only the best were able to complete the 11 laps race without trouble and in high positions. Sadly the race itself was delayed due to some hiding cowards with destructive thinking,but with help of community and devs we could start a great race and it was still worth the waiting for both racers and spectators.

3rd most successful racer in RTFR history has seen his winning frequency drop in last year,but he still is able to rise to the top occasionally - R.Kardol was the one to beat this tuesday as he was the fastest in qualifying by 0.7 seconds and led all 11 laps of the race to finish first with 5 seconds gap over recently most dominant driver. That gathered up dutchman's 19th pole position (tied 3rd most all time) and 22nd race win,adding record extending 92nd top5 finish. After 3 wins in first 4 races of the scored season,M is winless in latest 5 races - also this tuesday only top performance spike was his fastest lap of the race on penultimate lap,scoring his 6th of these,while his top5 count reached the number of black jack - 21. 2nd most successful racer of RTFR Gábor finished 3rd in this race after gaining 3 positions from green to chequered (most between top6 finishers),scoring his 59th top5 finish. With a bit bigger gap to winner 4th was Arska confirming his standings of this year - 28 top5 finishes now are in his account,top5 was closed by Motimoukari,who repeated his best finishing position in series for the 2nd time.

This was the 1st of RGE's coincidental long track 3-race series - the 7.5 km Fern Bay configuration will be taken over by Kyoto's 9.9 km configuration named International. It will be used next week in RTFR XL with the 1st ever mod car that has a repeated appearance in the series - FXO V8Supercar,a 644 horsepower beast based on performance of australian based racing series. Full information will be posted tomorrow. The big finale of the 3-race long track series will be on sunday of next week - the 400km of Westhill will take place on an 18.34 km track,where due low average speed a lap is around 11 minutes long. Make sure you don't miss out the chance to be part of it as for the 1st time this event will be broadcasted live by SimBroadcasts - full information in this thread. For those willing to drive different car from already offered ones - car applications ends this sunday!

With a little extra delay it's time to announce the final results of AWS 2024 season. The 13th season was similar to previous season as once again each round featured different car. Cars ranged in weight between 600 kilograms and the tripple of that,while power had the biggest range in league's history as both lowest and highest values set new records. What did not set any records was attendance - 34 signups is 6 less than last year and lowest number in past 4 years. Also actual competitors count was 6 less than last year - 26,which is the lowest number in past 5 years,3 drivers missed the chance to get points this season. Average attendance also dropped - the 12.5 drivers per race is 1.8 less than last year,the highest attended was round 6 with 17 drivers,while season finale gathered up just 9 drivers.

AWS 2024 Drivers Champion: LLM.Sobis
Last season produced the 1st ever repeated AWS champion,this season repeated the same result with different driver - the 2019 AWS champion Sobis earned his 2nd title. The lithuanian won 3 of the 7 rounds this season,increasing his win count to 5 in total,finishing in top5 in another 2 rounds. His worst finishing position was 7th and he set fastest lap of the race in 2 rounds.

By scoring his 1st ever race win in round 6,Lorenzo made the decisive step towards securing 2nd place in championship,additionally keeping his main title hopes alive,but eventually italian had to settle for 2nd place in final standings,which is 2 positions better than his previous best achieved last season. Also his worst finishing position was 7th and in total he scored 5 top5 finishes,adding 2 pole positions to his stats. Vice champion of last season was around top of the table also this year - 2022 Rookie of the year finished 3rd in standings,which is his average position from both previous seasons. The best finn of the season did not win any races,however he finished on podium in 3 races in row with 2nd place finish in round 5 as his best result,scoring another 2 top5 finishes through the season. The defending champion A.Valta did not sign up this season,leaving the title up for grabs for others.

AWS 2024 Rookie of the Year: S. Martin
It is a bit weird to announce one of the most seasoned racers in various leagues as top rookie,but that's how it works - without previous AWS experience,S.Martin joined the league this season and scored most points between all newcomers of AWS. He finished 7th in overall standings,scoring 2 5th place finishes as best result while he also qualified 4th once. By missing 3 rounds,RD2 lost the season long back and forth shuffle for top rookie position and finished 2nd in standings. The 2023 VERL champion finished in top5 in 3 of his 4 attended rounds,finishing 2nd to his teammate in round 6. Last year's best rookie with backwards spelled name did not sign up for his 2nd try in AWS.

AWS 2024 Cross Challenge winner: LLM.Sobis
The overall champion did pick up also both minor awards - in Cross challenge he beat his main rival by 5 points in final standings,winning one race,finishing 3rd and 4th in other two. The main rival was Lorenzo,who scored his both pole positions and his only win during this competition,however had to settle for runner up position. Also here the defending champion was A.Valta,who did not join this season.

AWS 2024 Oval Trophy winner: LLM.Sobis
Allthough one of the wins was actually gifted,but in history Sobis won 2 of the 3 Oval trophy rounds,finishing strong 3rd in the other one - that secured him the award with 19 points gap over his countryman Trespasser,who finished 2nd in both rounds Sobis won. The defending award winner Thehemuli finished 4th this season,scoring a single podium finish.

AWS 2024 Teams Champions: Race Green Autosports
For the 2nd year in row and 7th overall the hosting team brought home the teams title,this year having the main points scorer in 2nd place in individual standings. Besides the win and 2 pole positions,RGA gathered up a total of 10 top5 finishes. World Class Lions have been around a lot in AWS and this season was a repeat of their best ever performance - 2nd place in teams championship,previously achieved 2016,where they lost out the title just by 5 points. This season they had to "settle" for 2nd place with much bigger gap - 57 points. Their best driver Arska finished 4th in overall standings and he was the one to score all team's 4 top5 finishes. The team of the main champion Last Lap Motorsports finished 3rd in standings due to sole performance of their only active driver.

AWS 2024 Nations Cup winners: Finland
With 41 points gap over main rival the Nations cup was secured by Finland for the 3rd season in row. Finns scored a total of 2 race wins,12 top5 finishes,2 pole positions and 2 fastest laps of the race. The 5-time champions Lithuania got stronger this season and clinched the vice champions title after 1 year of absense and that was achieved by only 2 drivers. Their total tally includes 3 race wins,8 top5 finishes,1 pole position and 4 fastest laps of the race. The last step on nations podium was taken by Italy,which was carried up by sole performance of the series vice-champion Lorenzo.

* PENALTIES :
tomce. - receives a warning for low driving standards and lack of awareness of surroundings.

- - - - - - - - - -

South City with it's famous chicane hosted a nerves cracking race once again,however that was rather different at the top of the field,where positions were unchanged as the action was held from position 4 downwards. Despite the tricky racetrack,this round gathered up highest attendance of the season with 28 qualifyers,3 of them however did not start,so we had 25 drivers on grid,representing 16 different car models.

First 3 rounds of the season had the same 2 drivers finishing top2,just switching positions,this round there is a brand new top2 - J.Lavrikov received a Nortz XRT2 for this round and used it well to take all the glory from this round as he was fastest in qualifying,set the fastest lap in the race and finished 1st by leading all 25 laps. The defending champion R.Kardol however was chasing him hard through whole race,finishing just 0.69 seconds behind the race winner,converting his 2nd place in qualifying to 2nd place finish with the BZ30 Roadster. One of the season's top2 drivers was demoted to 3rd place this round,finishing 12 seconds behind race winner with his all wheels driven 3-cylinder XF Garis.


The other top2 driver J.Holmes already before the round announced his non-attendance,losing lead in standings to M who is now 19 points clear of the englishman. 3rd is still RD2 with 27 points gap to leader. The defending champion has climbed up to 7th position in standings.

No changes in top of the teams championship - B2R once again scored most points in the round (this time tied most) and keeps running away from competition as they're already 30 points ahead of defending champions RGA. But there is a change in 3rd position - WCL has taken it,but is already 91 points away from top of table. Exactly same situation is in nations championship - Lithuania keeps scoring most points and pulling away from defending champions Finland,but the gap here is so much bigger as it has reached 59 points. UK is still 3rd another 17 points off. In manufacturers championship BZ30 has taken the provisional lead,currently having 0.75 points advantage over XF Coupe,Talot lost the lead and dropped down to 3rd position.

The randomizer this time prefered the AWD XF version named Garis as it was drawn for 5 drivers,2 of them did not arrive however. Talot is now the sole most drawn car with 36 draws over 14 rounds,closelly followed by BZ30 and Imprezzive B2 which both have one less. There were plenty of new best achievements for car models,most significant one was 1st ever pole position and race win for the Nortz XRT2. Previous best results were 3rd position in qualifying and 4th in race which was achieved twice. R.Kardol repeated BZ30's best finishing result 2nd place finish. XF Garis previous bests were 12th in qualifying and 11th in race - these were shattered by M,who improved both results by 8 positions. Right next in results was another best result for a car - 4th place finish for Mandula was 4 positions better than previous best race result in the Stellar,also 7th place in qualifying was exactly 4 positions better. Saliva15's best results were also improved - Thehemuli qualified 14th (improvement by 3) and finished 11th to improve best race result by 7 positions. Lorenzo improved Dorito's best finishing result to 12th position,previous best position 16th was already repeated twice. With 3 cars an initial best result was set as these were not used before - best of them was Jsk,who scored 15th place in both sessions with the famous Godzilla replica GT-V34. Motimoukari was the 1st to try the newest addition to cars lineup Freud Serra - he qualified 25th and finished 20th. The new driver Tomce was the first to try Roku Troeno and qualified with it last position - 28th,however his driving was not safe enough to allow him to race,therefor the car's best race result is yet to be set.

The track for round 5 has not been decided yet - the race winner has time to reply the message until end of the week and he will have choice between Fern Bay and Autocross. Fern Bay might receive already 3rd visit by RandomCar,just like South City already did.

Entry number : 96
Entry name : Race Green Autosprts 96
Car: URC1
Entered driver (Ingame name / LFSW name / Country) : RG^Rony / Eclipsed / Latvia

Timetable:
Saturday,18th May
15:30 UTC / 17:30 CET - start of 24 hours open track qualifying
Sunday,19th May
15:30 UTC / 17:30 CET - end of 24 hours open track qualifying (started laps can be completed)
16:00 UTC / 18:00 CET - race start for the 22 laps race
* the shown CET time is current (summer) time - if not residing in CET time zone,always refer to UTC for correct time zone convertion!


Qualifying:
During the 24 hours long session all the entries will be allowed to do as many laps as they wish and can,but only the fastest laptime of each entry will count. The session end time marks the point when entries may start a timed lap.

Race:
Race will feature an extended starting grid - cars will be placed on grid in rows seperated by 20 meters distance between them to lower the probability of early incidents. Every entry is expected to be familiar withthe track,pitlane entry,exit and driver change procedure for error free pitstops.

Mandatory pitstop:
Race requires mandatory minimum time to be spent in pitstall,which has different length depending on amount of pitstops done. This is done to compensate extra pitlane entries as some cars require more pitstops and multidriver teams may require more pitstops for driver swaps. A pitstop (driving under speed limit,braking for pitstall and accelerating from it) costs around 15 seconds without including pitwork - this time is used for minimum pitstop time calculations:
• 1 pitstop - 180 seconds (3 minutes)
• 2 pitstops - 165 seconds (2 minutes,45 seconds)
• 3 and more pitstops - 150 seconds (2 minutes,30 seconds)
Entry which has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by doubling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 10 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 390 seconds penalty added to finish time (180s*2 + additional 30s).
* Entries running cars with challenger status are exempt from mandatory pitstop requirement!

Track and it's limits:
Due the low average width of the course it is important to point out about track limits - track is defined by paved surface (asphalt/tarmac/cobblestones) and 2 wheels have to be on it at all times! Drivers may not cut corners over grass and also may not run wide on grass when exiting turns with more than 2 wheels. If such event happens due a mistake,driver has to lift off throttle to make sure no advantage is gained. Fastest laps in both sessions will be checked for any violations while other drivers might be randomly checked during whole race. Best way to avoid any penalties is to stay fair!
There are serveral sections where leaving paved surface with all wheels is tolerated - glass patches which are marked with yellow and blue chalk arrows are a legal racing surface. All around the track there are posts on both inside and outside of turns - even if these have no legal use and they are just visual help to determine track limits,drivers still should avoid knocking them down.
With some help of community we named several turns and sections,which can also be used as orientation:


Cars and restrictions:
To level out performance of all available cars,an restriction table has been created - the used restriction method is voluntary air restriction in percents and added weight in kilograms. Each car has it's advantages and disadvantages,but overall deemed to have relatively equal performance after our limited testing.

Car setup limitations:

Slick tyres are not allowed!
Mods configs are not allowed to have rollcage,crashbars and lightbars - please select configs without these (illegal equipment)!

It is advised to test several cars before signing up to decide the best car for your or your team's performance! Cars have different handling characteristics,some might be slightly less competitive. Cars list and their full specifications data can be found in RG400KW2024 spreadsheet.
Some cars still have WIP status.
It is possible to apply other cars from public mods list,please check this post below for link to car applications thread.
Drivers are responsible to use correct restriction during pre-event practice! Server will have the restrictions enforced in the last week of practice and during official event sessions via PiranMoto Car Limiter insim app.
DISCLAIMER: Race Green Events is not affiliated to any of these user created cars! This means that organization of this event cannot affect existance and quality of these cars. We monitor any updates and check for their effect on cars performance to decide if any alteration of restriction is needed.

Other info:
Blue flag behaviour - due long lap very rarely such occasion might happen. Even if the usual Race Green Events' rule of "you may not block lapping car's passing manouvre" is used also here,it is advised to try not to stay ahead of lapping car and let by in safe location before lapping pass is needed. Lapping cars still have to be very patient,wait for safe opportunity to lap and not force a pass in narrow turns.

Basic racing rules - we'll use as always basic rules of clean racing and judge incidents with common sense. It is advised to avoid any contacts in any situation to ensure clean and fair racing.

Rejoins - in case of time out,rolled or undrivable car it is permitted to rejoin the race. To ensure better visibility of race positions,the rejoined entry will receive back the completed laps as soon as possible - race administration will check the replay during race. If the timeout or telepit has happened before reaching 1st split of a lap,one lap will be deducted to avoid possible misuse!

Postrace action - after the distance has been completed,3 highest finishing cars are asked to take a place on a podium for post race media,located between tribunes on the left side of Tribunes backstraight (check track map above). After top3 have taken their positions and photos are made,all other competitors also may join the area besides podium for further photo sessions.

Chatting - is limited during the race session. Allowed are short communications like appologies,thanking for letting by or between drivers of same entry when deciding when to pit and make driver swap,allthough it is encouraged to use external voice chat application (Discord,Teamspeak,phone call or whatever suits best). Race Green Events can offer a private voice channel in it's discord server if needed.
Unneccesary conversations will receive warning first and if not stopped - entry will receive drive-through penalty.
Not competing observers may not use chat at all!

Skins - specific car skins are not required in this race,allthough it is highly suggested to have a skin that displays entry number on car's side. Feel free to use event's official full logo on your skins! Also skins must fullfill lfsworld skin upload requirements and drivers may not use skins they don't have rights to use - like private skins of others or other teamskins.

Name format - entry number (may not be colored black or dark blue) required in front of your registered name,number and name must be seperated by a space.

Event server - server is online,is set in practice mode and has an Airio for laptime tracking (due hexadecimal code,most mods laptimes cannot be shown on simple !top table). Airio can spectate connections with very high and unstable ping for safety reasons (stable connections even from Australia should not be affected). Server will be open for public use until race weekend. For private practice feel free to use the attached layout.

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

A rather classic front[-mid] engined rear wheels driven roadster was run on a very short configuration in Rockingham this tuesday and it turned into a touring car style bumper to bumper racing as not many escaped the race without any marks on either front or rear bumper. The Handling configuration did not offer much overtaking opportunities,so drivers had to be patient and use the best chances,occasionally overforcing the issue,however no protests were made,so the hottest things in the race were not tempers but rear tyres - being balanced slightly to the rear,the car deffinitelly had plenty of load to rear tyres.

In Race Green discord server a topic was raised about drivers with same amount of wins as their starts and there are still 3 such drivers,2 of those with single race win from their single race start. The only multirace winner with perfect score is J.Holmes,who won 3 races in late year of 2012,today he returned to RTFR after more than 11 years break and guess what - he kept his perfect score alive! The englishman picked up a clean sweep of achievements from this race,scoring his 4th RTFR race win after leading all 39 laps,3rd pole position,4th fastest lap of the race and 4th top5 finish from 4 starts. The strongest competitor to race winner was his well known rival in many other series - M. The lithuanian lost out just by 0.05 seconds in qualifying and made a strong presence in race leader's mirrors,however the chances for race win were rather non existant and current 2024 season 1 standings and 15 race rating leader had to settle for 2nd place finish,which is his 20th top5 finish. Last step on the virtual podium was taken by Unite,who scored his 79th top5 finish repeating his best result of the season,closelly followed by his teammate in 4th position R.Kardol who scored his 91st top5 finish. The top5 consisted only of previous race winners this time,5th being the only single race winner TJ,who added the 7th top5 finish to his stats.

Next week the server will be handed over to RandomCar - 4th round of the season will be run in South City using Chicane Route in reversed direction. But in 2 weeks normal RTFR will return with one of the LFS's own slick tyre wearing cars,which will be run on rather long and very challenging track,more details as always in the weekend before the race. But in 3 weeks next RTFR XL will be held in other very long track - Kyoto International which is just 100 meters short of 10 kilometers lap length. The car for the challenge will be the 1st returning mod of RTFR XL - FXO V8Supercar,however the return part is a bit questionable as the car has changed quite a lot since it's first run in december 2022 - neither setups or skins will be usable for the updated car. The combo will be set up shortly in RTFR server for laptime testing - as always we need to know best possible lap for distance calculation.

A reminder - server will be password protected 1 hour before qualifying start to keep not knowing crowded server jumpers out of way,pass will be always the same: green

The voting between 2024 rounds 3 and 4 results in addition of rather rare sports version of 80ies saloon car,in LFS known under name FREUD SERRA. With it's original power it is just a tick too fast,so it will start it's journey in RandomCar with 1 percent intake restriction. It is the 15th car in the largest drivetrain layout field of FR (front engine - rear wheel drive) and 35th overall (3 are currently still suspended).

Quote from Gutholz :

The logo is slightly different from the original Seat logo: It is missing the diagonal line.

Interestingly today I saw a Seat on street,which had exactly the same logo - so there are versions without the additional diagonal line out there.

The LFS's own Catherham version is actually the fastest road legal car of LFS - only in terms of curved racetracks of course. 190 horsepower might not sound a lot,but coupled with very light chassis,the car reaches power to weight ratio of proper supercar. And this car was properly set to test this tuesday in South City's Chicane Route,where the 1 minutes 10 seconds lap had plenty of challenges each time around and many drivers had trouble dealing with them.

The driver with an active winning streak was joined by his RandomCar main rival on front row and was accompanied by him half of the race long,but eventually the RTFR XL first timer J.Holmes retired leaving all the glory to M. The lithianian stretched his winning streak to 3 races,becoming 5th driver who was able to win 3 or more races in row. 5th is also his new all-time RTFR success rank - by scoring his 5th race win,7th pole position (tied 4th most) and 4th fastest lap of the race M overtook 2 drivers in the rank,additionally earning his 9th top5 finish. If one streak was carried further,another one was ended - R.Kardol came to this race as defending 2-time LX6 race winner,but found himself uncompetitive for main glory,finishing 2nd after rather dissapointing qualifying - 48th top5 finish for the dutchman. J.Lavrikov started 3rd and finished 3rd to score his 4th top5 finish while 4th was the last driver on lead lap - Unite also finished in same position he started from,reaching quarter-century count of top5 finishes. Best of the drivers not being able to complete full race distance was Thehemuli in 5th position - that is only his 2nd top5 finish,previous was on last race of previous year.

* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Even if 24 drivers attending was not braking any records,the 23 drivers on grid is repeated largest number in all 5 RTFR XL races with LX6,but the finishers count of 20 is one more than previous highest. Interestingly the smaller LX brother has even higher attendance record (32 attendees) however races with LX4 never produced more than 19 finishers,so this race had the highest finishers count between both LX cars.

* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
...is yours truly - 10.11 seconds workfree pitstop was the best between the two without work,other one being just 0.04s longer. There was also one faster legal pitstop,however Unite refuelled the car.

* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Madjester did not put a lot of effort in qualifying as he was only 21st,but in race found much more pace to finish 9th,making a 12 positions gain during the race.

As long as there is winning streak,the combo selection will be given to 2nd place finisher (unless he is locked out too),this time it is R.Kardol - he still has not sumbitted his selection,so it's currently unknown what and where we will run in 4 weeks. But we know what we will race next week - you can get some clues from broadcast of previous normal RTFR or simply wait for weekend when full info will be posted. In 2 weeks racing will be turned a bit random once again - the 4th round of the season will use the same track as this race,just in other direction.
