Full event information and rules

Livestream at SimBroadcasts.tv
Stream starts 18:50 UTC

More than 12 years have passed since the very first international version of RTFR,meaning the event has almost reached it's teenager years. But already before "puberty" the round number of 300 will be reached this tuesday. Before reaching the anniversary race,we have done already 23.8 megameters of race distance,circled just over 7000 laps,we have seen more than 750 different racers,77 of those have finished a race as a winner.

As always the combo for anniversary race was decided by public voting - first two of these polls were "won" by an XF car,the basic XFG was run in 100th RTFR,the upgraded XFR in 200th. And there was another XF chassis candidate for 300th,but it was left as last in voting - this time the other base LFS chassis won the voting,in it's most powerful version from default LFS cars. Also the selected track has been in voting in all 3 polls - Aston Historic wasn't too relevant in results for 100th RTFR,but won both last polls,including this one - for the 2nd anniversary in row,RTFR will run the 8 kilometers long track at english countryside of Aston.

Now it's up to you,racers,to provide exciting racing action under the cameras of SimBroadcasts.tv team - for the past 2 years they have promoted racing with their quality streams,while all the raise of the event popularity was started by World Class Lions team sponsorship 4 years ago. Let's celebrate the number 300 with style and 2 weeks later start a new century of semi weekly fun racing!

Already 3 centuries of races have been completed and in the anniversary 300th event on the community's voted combo a total of 35 drivers gathered up for intense and exciting racing,2 drivers however did not attemt to start the race. The organization "allowed" itself to make a little failure as it was simply forgotten to load the 40 grid slots layout and the very quick hotfix caused the unlucky 33rd driver start from a bit of a gap. More than 1/3 of the grid consisted of previous race winners (counting both RTFR and RTFR XL),meaning the competition level was relativelly high.

Mr. Lagooga was on top of the game this time round,leading all 15 race laps on his way to victory lane,becoming the 1st non-finnish century race winner. He was also the fastest in qualifying to score his 13th pole position,tying R.Kardol and Fast for 4th most pole positions,while his win was 7th,raising him into top10 of all time success ranking,while his top5 count is still quite low - 13. Despite his face crossing the finish line first,the WCL driver who calls himself Monke finished in 2nd position 1/3 of a second behind the winner,making this the 17th closest finish in RTFR history. The finn took over the fastest lap of the race on final lap - that is his 8th,while the top5 finish is his 20th. The 3rd most successful racer in RTFR finished 3rd this time - R.Kardol scored his 70th top5 finish,breaking the tie for 2nd most. A.Valta finished 4th exactly 10 seconds behind winner to score his 15th top5 finish,but Mantas was the only top5 finisher that did not finish in position he started - the lithuanian gained a position between green and chequered to score his 4th top5 finish.
