Racing continues this evening with the classic duel of XFG vs XRG - this time at Fernbay Gold.

Quote from Gutholz :

last weeks GTR FXR race

Was considering to take part there,but then I saw those restrictions... That was a typical "no,just no" moment.

Yes, there was already some discussion about that.
This season the drivers with most finishes did pick the races. (within reasonable limits)
Somehow the GTR balance did not caught anyone's eye until it was too close to race day to change without causing confusion.

result & video of last race:

For race 9 today evening a classic combo: TBO cars at Blackwood.
Mind there is balance restrictions again (visible in calender or on server)

Today evening race #10 - the finale!
The driver championship looks decided already - or is it?
Mathematically all drivers in top-3 can still win:


Last race of the season is Raceabout @ Rockingham ISSC.

...and that is the final checkered flag of this season.
