Deadline for protests - wednesday,20:00 UTC

After the race attention of organisation was drawn by a youtube video which supposed to show a great pass during this race - however the video was showing a blatant divebomb where pass was made hitting another car. If a driver cannot complete pass on inside of a turn without a contact where other driver gives more than car's width room for the passing car,it is not a valid pass! This is not full contact racing - if minor contacts will be tolerated if happened without intention and consequences,drivers should do best to avoid contacts and deffinitelly should not initiate those!

PENALTIES:
｢DD｣ tBug - receives 10 seconds added to finish time for pit exit line violation.
｢DD｣ tBug - receives 30 seconds added to finish time for multiple avoidable contacts and track limits violations (including pit entry). Future infractions will lead to disqualification or even race ban.

The fifth round of the new league went into the short history of this league with end of the domination of one specific car. Before this race no URC1 finished a race behind any other different car,this time all 4 URCs finished 5th or lower,including both previous winners using this car. This shows that the car has been slowed down to be at least a fast car and not a superiour one,we will keep monitoring car's performance in next rounds to decide if more additional weight will be needed. Regarding previous winners - RD2 went into history as the 1st driver to get drawn same car for 3 rounds. But one streak still has not been ended - still all 5 RandomCar 2023 rounds were won by mid-engined rear wheel drive car.

Besides the busy real world racing schedule,the GT3 driver Dennis found time to join also this league and went to victory with 1st try. The dane got drawn the Renault Turbo 5 inspired version of LFS's own XF chassis and qualified with it on outside of front row,making the pass for race lead already in 1st lap of the race - after leading all 14 laps he finished 1st with over 6 seconds gap over competition,which is 2nd highest margin of victory so far,being also the only driver to break 2min17s laptime mark in the race. J.Holmes also had his RandomCar debut this tuesday and also got drawn the XFT5. The briton was fastest in qualifying,but could not keep the race lead for long,still finished in 2nd position uncontested. Fast got drawn the LFS's own RB4 for the 2nd time,however could not finish as high as last time he got same car - he had to settle for 3rd place finish,still one position improvement between start and finish.

The current standings leader got drawn the not so fast Coquette and finished just 9th to lose bunch of points to his rival - Fast now trails by just 4 points in standings from his countryman. RD2 jumped into 3rd position in standings,now 12 points behind leader,closelly followed by previous 3rd position owner.

With 2 top5 finishers,Born to Race scored most team points in this round,cutting a decent chunk off S1dus' lead - the gap between these teams is 14 points. RGA scored 3rd most points in the round and extended their lead over rest of the teams,but lost ground to both leaders. Nations championship however starts to turn onesided - Lithuania scored 19 points more than closest rivals Finland and is now 69 points ahead. Bulgaria stepped into 3rd position and has practically no chances to advance higher. Despite not winning,the advantage of URC1 in manufacturers table has increased by 10 points and the Ultimate Road Car has a huge 40 points lead over the new 2nd place car XF Turbo 5. FXO was pushed down to 3rd position,just 1 point behind 2nd place.

With 6 draws for this round,URC1 has tied Imprezzive for most draws - 19 each. Talot was drawn 3 times for this round,however no driver attended. BZ30 Roadster was the 2nd car to get 6 draws for this round,however just half of them attended,one of them did not start. Interestingly after half of the season,4 of 5 LFS default cars have been drawn just 8 times,which is lowest value between cars that entered the season right from the beginning.

6th round will be held on a custom layout at the newest environment of LFS - Layout Square. This will be the 1st ever Race Green Events hosted event in this envoronment. The winner has submitted the layout,which will be refined to fit RGE's standards,also it will be properly tested to decide if it will be 9 or 10 laps race at next round - the submitted track requires over 3 minutes to complete a lap. Next week the RTFR server will be returned to it's original duties - the final round of the 1st of 2 scored seasons will come to an end,however the champion is practically decided. On the weekend full info about combo will be posted,expect a pretty close sprint racing for that! And for the 2-wheeled vehicle fans there are also good news - RGE will host the 2nd edition of it's Tourist Trophy challenge on sunday of next week! Info in our main forum section!
