The 2nd season of RandomCar was started in Aston's custom configuration named Classic Boot - a configuration,which is a mix of Cadet,Club and National configurations,introducing 2 new turns. The mix has 2 long straights and rather low speed turns complex,each part of the track benefitting different cars,helping to mix the field even more. A total of 18 different cars were represented in this round,some models had even 3 drivers,including 3 of the 4 new cars - the 4th one was drawn,however the driver who received it did not attend. The car on top however was the same as 2 days earlier in AWS - Fraud Wheeler.

Current Main Hotlap Rank leader and most World records owner J.Holmes proved once again he can do more than just one fast lap - he led all 14 laps of the race with his Fraud Wheeler,however saw the closest rival getting bigger and bigger in the mirror to finish with less than a half second advantage. By being fastest in qualifying,the englishman scored already his 2nd pole position in RC,but the win was his first. Driver with a single letter name M finished 2nd,bringing the last season's 2nd best car Talot from 3rd position on grid to runner up position in finish,setting fastest lap of the race during the chase. His teammate got the light XF Coupe - he used the advantage of the handling well to qualify 2nd,however the disadvantage of this forced him to fight back from lower positions after race start - he rescued at least a podium finish.


After just a single round there is not much to say about drivers standings - the order in table is exactly the same as 1st round finishing order,only notable differences are the point gaps. J.Holmes has a 2 points lead after round 1,M is 2nd,closelly followed by Twincam just a single point apart. Since the top3 scored all round bonus points,rest of the drivers are seperated at least by 6 points. The defending champion R.Kardol hasn't even signed up for 2024 series,however also last year he missed season opener.

With 2 podium finishers B2R of course leads teams championship - they're currently 13 points ahead of defending champions RGA. 3rd is Yes Motorsports,which is already 25 points behind the table leaders. The nations championship starts the season with same fight it ended last season - Lithuania versus Finland. Lithuania currently leads over defending champions Finland by just 2 points,UK benefitted from race winner and another points scorer to take 3rd place with 7 points deficit to top of the table. In manufacturers championship the top3 finishing cars now are also in table top3 - Fraud Wheeler leads by 2 points over Talot and 3 over XF Coupe,defending champion received a performance lowering update between the seasons and currently is 11th - following races should reveal it's new performance potential and then we can decide if balancing is required to be updated.

The randomizer decided to put a new car as it's favourite pick - Talot got 3 draws and with it overtook the all time leader Imprezzive for most draws,while URC1 tied it for 2nd most. Another noticable draw fact is Motimoukari's 4th draw for the Nortz XR2 - he ties T.Soini for most same car draws,who got Imprezzive 4 times last season. The Zafiralis driver did not use the car however this week. Twincam scored best ever results for his car XF Coupe - 2nd in qualifying and 3rd in race,previous best were accordingly 5th (by Unite) and 6th (by Nosle). RD2 repeated best finishing result for Coquette (5th),while 3 drivers set the initial best results for 3 new cars - Nosle was fastest with Dorito (Q: 20th and R: 16th),Arska with Saliva (Q: 17th and R: 18th),but Loco took the lightest and least powerful car in the field to the top10 - Stellar was qualified 11th and finished in 8th position.


Round 2 will take place in Rockingham - only previous RC race in this environment was the test race before start of the 1st season. The racewinner selected the longest standard configuration International Long,but without the 1st chicane - 1st turn is oval's turn 1. It will be a 16 laps race,setting the 2nd lowest race distance in league history as the average speed of the track is quite low.
