Pitting rules:
Race requires a minimum time spent in pitstall of 10 seconds. That can be done either with single pitstop or sum of multiple pitstops. Driver who has spent less time will receive penalty time added to his finish time,which will be calculated by tripling the missing time to complete neccesary minimum time and adding additional 5 seconds. Drivers failing to pit at all will receive 1 minute penalty added to finish time (10s*3 + additional 30s).

The LFS's fastest standard car set to race in London's boroughs maze-like course led to plenty of high tempers between the drivers,while pitlane was as busy as it has ever been in RTFR events - there were a total of 34 visits in the pitlane,3 of those to serve speeding penalty in previous visits. Even if just 13 drivers from 24 starters crossed the finish line after the chequered flag was displayed,a total of 18 drivers are classified in results,which leads to 75% finishing percentage and highest finishers count in RTFR XL history in races with BF1 (previous highest - 15)
Gábor was the only driver to beat 1:14 mark in qualifying to score his 5th pole position (tied 3rd most),even if he lost the lead in 1st lap and had to follow for 20 laps,he regained it and pulled away from competition to score his 3rd RTFR XL racewin,setting fastest lap of the race on the way,which is his 4th,additionally he scored his 11th top5 finish. The current rating and standings leader Fatal did not saw much of the leaders,but still finished in solid 2nd position which practically seals the deal to win RTFR XL 2022 standings before the final race in december - he also rounded up his top5 count to 10. Fatal's teammate Number started from inside of row 2,but still found a way past the polesitter to lead first 20 laps of the race,but after his 2 pitstops he could finish only 3rd,being also the last driver on lead lap,3rd top5 finish for him. Remaining 2 drivers are teammates of S1dus,making top5 consist only of drivers from 2 teams - Unite finished 4th to score his 19th top5 finish to become the sole 3rd best in the most top5 finishes chart,R.Kardol finished 5th which is his 33rd top5 finish.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
This was the 5th race in the SO City Long configuration - the course breaks the tie and is now the most used configuration in specific direction in RTFR XL races. Interestingly during these 5 races the SO4 has seen both ends of LFS's default car paces - UF1 and BF1.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
With full fuel tank the BF1 could complete just around 35 laps from 62,so technically no clock pitters by default rules. Still even full refill requires less than 10 seconds for this car,so few drivers still needed to wait after pitwork was finished - Unite had the shortest pitstop from everyone with his 10.06 seconds pitstop.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
This time the one with his name in event's logo was the one to gain most positions beween start and finish - technically starting 18th and finishing 6th Rony had a gain of 12 positions in this race. The value was repeated also by Leandro and Michal but as always the one finishing higher counts as better field rusher.
VOD at Youtube:
The combo for the final race of the year has been selected and it will bring FXO in the race. But not a standard FXO - this one has been exported to Australia,rebuilt to fit in their local racing series and now reimported back to our virtual country. As you might now suspect,it's the FXO V8Supercar,which delivers over 600 horsepower to it's rear axle,while it's weight exceeds 1500kg together with driver. The venue will be Kyoto National configuration,returning in the event for the 4th time. But that will happen just in 6 weeks from this race - RTFR XL races are set to be run just once in a month and with usual 4 weeks gap it would be 2 races in november.
Until then there will be 2 normal RTFR races - next one already on coming tuesday. The incomplete info about combo was given on livestream 2 tuesdays ago,full info will be posted on sunday.
