After racing well known standard tracks last several races,RTFR offered something different for this race - racing on public roads using LFS's only road legal standard car. The tricky midengined lightweight roadster alone is challenging,but the 2-lanes wide twisty and elevating course spiced the challenge even more. Avoiding mistakes was the key to success this time - some did it better than others.
This was a success day for Gábor - he picked up all the achievements possible for a single driver,but when looking at fastest laptimes,his advantage wasn't that big. But still he led all 18 racelaps and finished with exactly 10 seconds gap over closest rival to start his 3rd RTFR winning streak - in 2 weeks he will have a chance to score his first ever 3 win streak. This was Gábor's 17th race win overall,8th in last 14 races,besides that he scored his 12th pole position and also 12th fastest lap of the race,and rounded his top5 count to 30. Rest of the podium positions were taken by winner's teammates,the 2 rivals in 2021 standings - R.Kardol once again was ahead and took 2nd place finish to score his 61st top5 counter,Unite took 3rd place and scored his 63rd top5 finish. 4th place was taken by a 4-time RTFR racewinner,who returned to the event series after bigger break to score his 10th top5 finish - A.Valta's previous race here was 142nd RTFR (december 2016),where he finished 2nd to SimBroadcasts's founder. Top5 was closed by only winless driver between yesterday's best 5 - Lorenzo scored his 2nd ever RTFR top5 finish barely beating current standings leader over finish line.
