Despite being a replica of rather the tale end car from the early 90ies F1 series,still it requires plenty of skill to keep it on track at high race pace. That resulted in quite few drivers throwing the towel and leaving before qualifying,but many of the RTFR regulars took the challenge and most of them completed the full race distance without bigger problems. Still it was the lowest attendance in last 10 races.
V.Lagooga joined the server regulary before the actual event and practiced a lot - that resulted in a clean sweep of achievements from this week's race as he was fastest in qualifying and led every meter of the race. The lithuanian scored his 15th pole position,breaking the tie for 3rd most,his 8th racewin,6th fastest lap of the race and 15th top5 finish. R.Kardol started from inside of 2nd row,got past his teammate and finished 2nd to score his 72nd top5 finish. A.Valta started even lower - from outside of row 3,still was able to progress all the way up to podium finish,scoring his 17th top5 finish. Current standings and 15 race rating leader Gábor qualified 2nd just 0.15s behind polesitter,but had some trouble to lose few positions - 4th place finish and 40th top5 finish in his stats. Mantas closed the top5 for the 3rd race in row and added the 6th top5 finish to his achievements.
