RTFR has always been quite an allrounder event as it was using all 20 LFS cars right from the start,so the regulars are used to deal with anything that has been thrown to them. This tuesday racers encountered a new type of engine - Wankel's rotary engine,even if not properly simulated (hence the missing apex seals through exhaust pipes),but at least with relativelly similar engine specs. Fern Bay's "green" half alone hasn't been used a lot in RTFR,so after a while we used one of the configurations - pretty much same old Green configuration with added looping. The infamous 1st chicane caused some problems to many,including current standings leader - damage of his standings' lead won't be big however and Gábor managed to secure at least the point for fastest lap of the race (his 22nd).
One who wasn't too affected by new car and tricky track was R.Kardol - even if just by 3 hundreths of a second,the dutchman was fastest in qualifying and scored his 17th pole position tying Excellent15 for 4th most all time. R.Kardol led all 21 laps of the race,early of the race closelly followed by his teammate,but after his retirement solely in safe lead to cross finish line 1st. With this performance R.Kardol scored his 19th RTFR race win and 81st top5 finish. After 11 races break A.Valta returned to RTFR action and despite being just 3rd fastest,he finished 2nd in the race to score his 19th top5 finish. With 25 seconds gap to winner the "best of the rest" was Race Green's newest recruit RD2,who finished in top5 for the 1st time and that in 3rd position right away - his previous best result was halved in his 10th RTFR attendance. His teammate Nosle finished 4th and with it doubled his top5 finishes count,but top5 was closed by somewhat more experienced top5 finisher - Ayoub Maroc scored his 12th of these.
