2 weeks after the heated tempers chaos race we cooled down with a slowest original LFS RWD car on a quite long track. That however brought drivers with similar skill closer together and of course brought plenty of battles through out the field,including some paint trading - again no reports were made,so whatever happened,seems to be judged as racing incidents. From organizational side there was again something that does not seem right and that has been repeated irregulary - someone changed the name before the race to start from back of the grid. This can be considered as unsportsmanlike conduct as everyone should take the grid position they earned in qualifying. If this trend will keep repeating,a new ruling regarding this will be added.
The winner of previous RTFR race using the same car returned to victory lane also yesterday,becoming the 3rd driver to score an XRG race winning streak - Upsas started from outside of front row,blasted by the polesitter and after some position swapping through first few turns the lithuanian secured leading position and kept it for rest of the race to score his 2nd RTFR racewin and 7th top5 finish. R.Kardol started directly behind racewinner and also was able to improve the qualifying position during the race - 2nd place finish after some battles is his 57th top5 finish. Unite was able to set the fastest lap in both sessions,scoring his 9th pole position and 21st fastest lap of the race,but single lap pace was not enough during 9 laps race to finish higher than 3rd - 56th top5 finish for him. The freshly baked 10 race rating leader Fatal finished 4th losing a position compared to qualifying,rounding up his top5 finishes count to 10. Top5 was closed by rather rare guest Mantas,who scored his 3rd top5 finish from 4 tries.
