Yesterday RTFR returned to South City,but there was no relaxing city cruise,this was more like a rush hour,where plenty of AWD sports coupe drivers were keen to arrive at their destination as early as possible. This of course resulted in melting rubber and few fender benders,but there were no traffic jams. Even if later there were few incidents,organization is pleased with low count of minor incidents during 1st lap!
After missing 4 events,Botsi returned to RTFR with another win,but it was everything else than easy and convincing - this race goes into history with 12th closest finish in all RTFR races - Botsi's gap over his rival was just 4 tenths of a second. But win is a win and it was Botsi's 23rd and he increased his top5 count to 47. S.Litmanen was the fastest in qualifying and scored his 6th pole position,but during race he struggled with tyres and could not keep his teammate behind for more than 13 laps - 2nd place finish for S.Litmanen and with this he rounded his top5 count to 10. 1st time participant R.Svetins finished 3rd 18 seconds behind leading duo,followed by his teammate Kiinako,who also joined RTFR for the 1st time - 4th place for him. Top5 was closed by Merenui,who also rounded up his top5 count - to 40. Unite drove just 20 laps before retiring,but during these he set the fastest lap of the race - his 9th.
RTFR now goes into 2 weeks inactive break,after that racing action in tuesday will resume with some of the slick tyre cars,more info as always in the weekend before it. The 2nd season of STARL will start in the same week as the next RTFR,as always scheduled for sunday evenings - it is a league using XRT or rather shorter tracks,for more info and signups link visit the info thread.
