Race
















Despite fastest man in track took 4th time Grand Slam, the victory was not really secured until Jay's mistake on "back road", as attacking on lap 1 and 2 took some suspension damage to UM21's car, to obtain fastest lap. FZ50 GT2 was this time indeed fastest car and only GT2 cars were used, leaving FZ50 car unused as taken to be a joke car ( 5:31 is fastest lap done with FZ5 ).

Second place goes to Gevin, having same car as winner and managed to cause some pressure against pole-position guy at opening lap, but pole hit before last U-turn caused his plausible victory withering away. He also joined to infamous Pole-club, where several other racers, including UM21 as well, have hitted once or more. The other club in MTDZX- Flat Out! Series! is legendary Tree huggers club. ( *cough *cough Rony *cough )

3rd position goes to Mr. Steady and 4th place goes to Jay from Finland, who was going to finish AT LEAST 2nd, until the mentioned mistake happened.

5th place goes to RedBot, who was the only guy selecting FXO GT2, and 6th and last place goes to Rik97, who had some issues at drop zone, crashing himself off the track twice. Still, finish is finish, unlike Hekazi ( LFSW: henkkamamma ), who sadly somehow lost control at straight line.



Well, here is some highlights.


Start and it's grid.



At turn 1.


After the "little drop" ( called so before the real one, as car technically drops back to road. ) Gevin almost loses it and goes on drift by R. Kardol's pressure.


Now the real men arrives from the drop zone. Here's how it went:


Rik's car after the crash.


Now on "Drop by 90", where after the fast S-turn and it's drop, enters to 90 degree corner. Here's how it went:


Humps section: Hekazi hitted sign before even managed to get here:



This is the known pole. Gevin simply hits it.



It wasn't perfect run by UM21. Here is loses control at "country side" section on lap 3, which causes to decrease gap from 15 seconds to 7 seconds. Also, suspension is not on great shape due attacking the course on lap 1 and 2.


He unfortunately did it again:



Situation at last lap. People sees leader!



And here is how it was settled.



Actually, this thing isn't THAT rare, but rare when driving in narrow section alone. Hekazi simply DNF's by finally dropping to the void, when finding path to get it back on track.

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

R. Kardol ( LFSW: Rik97 ) finally made it! And what an overwhelming result it was. Despite the fact due track and car and other racers, Rik got overtaken early at starting lap, he covered his lead position at last corner and led all the laps from pole and set also fastest lap. If Round 45 was curse for him, this round was pretty much opposite of it! Excellent performance and well done!

Only four racers managed to see finish line. 2nd place goes to T.Soini who was left from last position at turn 1, but due steady and clean run, result is another podium and this time even better than just Bronze. However, luck was on his side strongly as well because System from FSR Team ( LFSW: Kova. ) thought there is mandatory pitstop, he lost his 2nd position to Soini and was left to 3rd place. Funny though.

And 4th position goes to Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) who was clearly on podium pace but mistakes cost him all the plausible places and was last guy finisher. Still, could have been way more worse.


Here is some highlights at opposite direction of above!


Start grid and start.



Hekazi manages to be first guy ever who officially receives a penalty by false start. But because he DNF, no penalties received in book.


Turn 1 looks like this: Barjoe is the first guy DNF as he drops off the path. Also some collisions happens and Hekazi pulls out flashy "chicane cutter"



Now at last corner, Rik manages to keep his lead!


Disaster happens to Jay quickly, he spins out:


However, just before Jay spun, Hekazi goes to pitl.. err... he actually MISSES the pitlane and gets spectated by "wrong way"


UM21 drops first time. Ultimately gets back on track, but suspension damage causes him to drop once again at right hand turn and goes wild adventure. Even so he manages to get back but loses it finally by taking "wrong route!"


Adebayor ( LFSW: bila_khs ) loses control at last corner and drops away. Sadly, after he managed to get back, he drove wrong way and InSim forced to spectate: DNF


Gevin has flat tire:



Wili has also flat tire



Both guys at on these videos will retire, but amazing to see how similar the method is!!!




Gevin makes mistake and drops... Ultimately he gets stuck but luckily he escapes before the mighty "idle minuter checker" goes nuts and spectates Gevin by idle.




Now chaps, the funniest moment of Round 46:

Qualify



Race






Before this round, winner of Round 47 had some serious issues about the setup and had to DNF in Round 46...
...But we do not care about it, as ONCE AGAIN, Mr. Flat Out! made it again! Victory from 5th position, Willi ( Will.I.Am ) was the fastest guy in race and led 11/19 laps. He is the king of Rectangularistic... for now! Well done!

2nd position goes to UM21, that means we have result repeat from Round 18, as same track and same 1-2 positions. This time gap was bigger and host also suffered some tire overheat, forcing to select different racing line.

However, Despite Willi and UM21 took the first two podiums, there could have been different result, as [MRc] Michal ( LFSW: michal 1279 ) failed to attempt optimal mandatory pitstop and was dropped to Bronze only. However, he scores first time to the podium and gets 8 points to the standings, making total 13. Last time he finished race was since Round 18 and 4th position. Now on 3rd! Still, it is safe to say: Well done!

4th position goes to Grand Slam guy, R. Kardol ( LFSW: Rik 97 ), who actually filled up more fuel to his XR GT car and was going more slower and slower. Even Mr. Steady was going to challenge him at last lap, but due too careful driving, Rik escapes to the 4th position, just before T. Soini ( LFSW: teppari )


More honorable mentions: French Street Racers Team managed first time to make score with 3 racers, as Willi won and ( LFSW: Kova. | barjoe17 ) took position 7 & 8. Also, first time [SR] Adebayor (LFSW: bila_khs) scores first points ever, finishing by 9th position and would had also score to SonicRealms Racing as well...

...if only LFSWorld would have told he belongs in that team. For him, it simply says N/A.
Regardless of any reason, it does not really matter anymore due too less rounds remaining.



Here is some highlights!!!








As you could have seen on video above, Jay makes mistake on 3rd corner and spins up. Ultimately he simply gives up, DNF.


Another similar moment: LawB LIKE ( LFSW: MartynasL ) fails to cut corner and drops to the ground. The similar moment is that he also gives up, DNF. Only two of these drivers retired, while others went on...


ATM, Four Horsemen, reminds slightly about this video: ( LOL, what a track selected for this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZNIUrNaI1w )


UM21 have pitted already, leaving three guys.


Now Rik is doing a pitstop, but there will be a problem...


As picture tells:


Willi's turn to pit, leaving Michal to the lead!


And finally, it was Michal's turn! But he fails to make optimal pitstop and drops to 3rd position!


Bonus feature!

WHOAH!!!!!!

Round 48 offered FIVE races as winner choose car with double race rules combined of WCC, it was going to be tight races and no one knew who would be the actual winner, until R. Kardol... RIK KARDOL (LFSW: Rik97 ) wins races four and five and secures the victory of Round 48 by two wins! Formula cars were his strenght and proved how it's done in MTDZX- Logo Upper section! Several incidents did happen and lots of... lots of penalties were received, ultimately even two disqualifications as well. Those will be told a bit later.

Well done Rik! Victory is yours!

2nd place goes to FSR System. ( LFSW: Kova. ) who first time won a race in Race 2, XF GT Junior was his strength but unfortunately he only managed to win once. However, he was the only racer who managed to finish to podium every race, only crown was the thing he missed to become a winner first time in Round.

3rd place goes to UM21, who was OP driving 1LX car. 1 win and also 1 miserable DNF was enough high to reach podium and managed to beat T. Soini by 38.51 seconds. Both mentioned drivers won once and retired once as well, but UM21 was faster. That turns out, he gains the "Bronze Medal" and Soini ( LFSW: teppari ) is left in 4th position.

5th Position is taken by Willi, who was much faster than UM21 and Soini, but because he won zero times, he was left in that position. Race 5 was his best attempt to win, but Rik "slayed" his chance to obtain it by great performance in formula cars.

6th Position goes to [MRc] Michal ( LFSW: Michal 1279 ) who finished in same amount of races than RedBot ( LFSW: redbot_ ) but was nearly 2 minutes quicker, so RedBot was left to 7th position.

And 8th and also last position as classified goes to Y.Laprevotte. Mr.Seahorse had some troubles especially on Race 2, as some people actually forgot to BRAKE in time, causing him to be wrecked and ultimately decided to switching focus to Rony's Tuesday Fun Race. Still, despite only 2 races he entered, he finished both 2 and also set fastest lap in Race 1, so the disaster was not complete.


Hekazi (LFSW: henkkamamma) and FSR Barjoe ( LFSW: barjoe17 ) both drivers got ultimately DQ by too many penalties received during Round 48. Both drivers will also receive official warning to next round, as any amount or type of penalty will be an instant DQ and plausible race suspension. So next time, please do mind your racing!

Michal 1279 also receives official warning by joining the race after retirement of Race 1. It is not allowed to do. Same goes for barjoe. If you are not in grid when race starts: DNF. Next time when that happens, the result will be enough big penalty you won't like to see that will happen to you. Races are supposed to be fun, and they indeed are, but due this series is set as hardcore, due plausible prizes received, I am very strict on rules.

Judge have decided to give mercy all three drivers, but warning is set on.



Anyway, that's that and I am sure you would like to see some highlights.... here they are.. ( possible not in correct order as time code. )



Start Grid: Race 1


Turn 1: Very clean


Turn 2: Very dirty


Hekazi has serious issues all the time of not crashing to everyone. Here is another example:


T. Soini won race 1.



Race 2 start grid:


Turn 2: This caused problems all the time and two racers had to DNF.


Y. Laprevotte have hitted wall, meanwhile System. escapes!


Then, DISASTER!


System. have escaped enough and wins the Race 2. However, battle behind of him is tight. 4 Horsemen, anyone?



UM21 fails.


The gap between winner and others at finish line:


Race 3, Start Grid.


UM21 was so OP at this race he already overtake others and set himself as top, and escapes.


No idea why Hekazi goes there... but DNF.


Check Race 3 replay, some nice battle going in here, but Rik was better.


Race 4, OFFICIAL START GRID:


Race 4, FALSE START GRID: Barjoe rejoins which is not allowed and gets an instant DQ, even continuing the race...


Turn 1, Michal is out before that turn exists on his eyes:


Perhaps these cars were absolutely too hard to drive, excluding R. Kardol...



...As he escapes to the victory!



So, Race 5 and final one, start grid!


Turn 1


Turn 2


At this point, halfway of lap 1, Willi is leading the race!


BUT HE HITS THE WALL! WILLI HITS THE WALL AND RIK ESCAPES AND WILL WIN THE ROUND 48! Willi ( LFSW: Will.I.Am ) had GREAT chance to win Race 5, but this hit to the wall miserably ends his hopes of to.


Last corner, last lap:
