* PENALTIES :
(\/) J Pickard - his false start penalty has been converted to 10 seconds time penalty. Allthough the driver did not gain any advantage from his false start,neither he made obvious disadvantage to make the penalty be dropped,therefor it has been decided to add 10 seconds to his finish result for not serving the drive-through penalty. In future such situation might be handled differently,so everyone should make sure to serve any LFS default penalties.

After the race of many twos,this race unfortunatelly had it's own two - 2nd start. Due server failure after 10th of 18 laps race was restarted and results have been summed up from both runs. 5 of 16 starters did not rejoin the server after failure,so they're ordered behind the others in order they completed 10th lap - since all of them finished full 50%,all are classified as finished. After many undisturbed races,this was a reminder about possible stability issues and need to clarify organisation action if server failure happens again.
With or without server failure,there would be same winner anyway - Fast was commited to end his winless streak and succeeded - even if his gap to closest competition was not overwelming,there were little doubts about winner this tuesday. Fast added 8th win,11th pole position,11th fastest lap of the race and 16th top5 finish to his achievements. J.Pickard is classified 2nd in results despite earning penalty - 12th top5 finish for him. Falcon was the last relatively close follower in the restarted race,allthough was only 5th before server failure - 3rd place in his stats,35th top5 finish in Falcon's stats - still 4th most. 4th place finisher is someone,who hasn't started a single race during this quartercentury - Mishu earned his 14th top5 finish,Michal closed the top5 and added 5th top5 finish to his achievements.
Let's hope server will rest well over the 2 weeks of break between this and next RTFR - then one of the slick tyre racing machines will return for action,more details as always here in this section in the weekend before it. RGE offers another piece of racing this week,but the participation is limited - in the final round of AWS only drivers already scored points towards standings will be allowed to participate. Others still have the chance to follow the action and title decision via LFSremote!
