The server has been set up with helping insim app (provided by Jam) which allows to turn the car back on wheels or turn if stuck with nose against wall (reminder - MRT has no reverse gear) - this will be allowed as it is realistic to climb out of this type of vehicle and turn it back on wheels or push backwards.
To use this option,you have to type in chat: ;flip - car is turned back on wheels without changing direction ;turn - car is turned 90° leftwards
First of all - let's keep the reports short and detailed. Without exaggerations of distance (it was 13m instead of 30m) or quotes of deceased racing drivers or praises how skilled you are (these 2 parts were removed). Thank you!
Both reports are about 3 incidents,neither of those display clean racing we would like to see,however neither of them includes actions needed to be penalized with result influencing penalties.
Incident 1: (lap 25,last turn) - TJ brakes very late,however does a lot to avoid hitting car ahead,ending up with a minor touch.
Incident 2: (lap 26,turn 2) - in the braking zone TJ enters turn rather early,Gábor leaves turn entry very late - both drivers practically go for same position and meet there with equal share of fault.
Incident 3: (lap 26,the "busstop" chicane) - Gábor takes very wide entry line,TJ uses that and jumps into inside - both cars collide when TJ understeers on 2nd left turn and Gábor does not react on car fully inside.
* PENALTIES :
｢ﾏｧ｣ TJ - receives a warning for avoidable contact in the "busstop" chicane - car on inside should be able to hold inner line through whole turn.
S1DUS*GáboR - receives a warning for insults in chat and unsportsmanlike behaviour after the finish. Future misbehaviour will lead to actual penalty.

The Container Sprint track is well known for some from V8 Racing League,where it's a regular challenge for the powerful single seaters,however for the Formula SAE member from McGill Racing Team it was a great ground to close racing - as you can see on stream,occasianally cars gaggled in packs and were racing for position. With 26 drivers attending,this was a step backwards in terms of attendance for this car compared to previous 2 races,but still 9 drivers more than all time average attendance.
Despite being just 2nd fastest in qualifying (repeated personal best),TJ proved he can still challenge his long time rival in this race - he slipped into lead early on and exchanged positions with polesitter several times before Gábor was able to create a gap for most of the race. However during last 1/3 of the distance the brazilian started to deplete the gap,setting fastest lap of the race just before catching leader - that's his 2nd one in RTFR. During 26th lap both drivers got involved in a bit physical dispute,eventually TJ took the race lead and last lap was just a formality before taking chequered flag for his 2nd RTFR race win and 9th top5 finish. Gábor started the day well,increasing his chances to stretch his winning streak by taking the pole position,which is his 31st,however during later half of the race could not upkeep high pace,allowing main rival to catch and eventually also pass him - 64th top5 finish for the hungarian and his winning streak has to be started again. Despite setting 2nd fastest lap of the race,Unite was not a contender for race win and finished 3rd with 10 seconds gap to winner - 83rd top5 finish for the 2nd fastest shoe in the field. The honorary "certificate" for winning the multicar battle goes to Thehemuli,who finished 4th overall in the race,taking his 3rd top5 finish in row and 13th in total,top5 was closed by a newcomer in the event series Suforr,who finished a race in RTFR with 2nd try and straight in 5th position.
