This is a small championship with perhaps one of the best mods currently available (Swirl Sport 06 Cup), and proven by the 308th RTFR race it can provide hectic action throughout the field regardless of pace.

The series doesn't need any signups, anyone is free to join the server before the start of qualifying and there's not a certain rulebook to follow but the rules of clean racing are worth a read and will be referred to alongside with the NDR Sporting Code if there is any on-track incidents reported.

Events itself consists of a 20 minute practise session, a 15 minute qualifying, a sprint and a feature race. Points will be awarded for the pole position in qualifying, highest climber and fastest lap in race, and to the top 10 in the following manner:



Points will be posted in the Layout Racing League discord at https://discord.gg/tXMGWeThE. The races are on Saturdays, with the server opening 2 hours prior to the practise session and passworded before qualifying.



When reporting incidents please include an UTC timecode when the incident occurs(can be seen in replay when pressing ctrl+shift). Reports can be posted in this thread or in the LRL discord(link above) and the deadline for reporting incidents is until the next wednesday after the event to keep time for tracking the points.

You can also join the LRL discord to share your skins for the car or other opinions or suggestions etc. that spring to mind.

The Swirl Summer Cup season started off nicely, with over 20 people attending qualifying and 20 people at most for the race 1 starting grid. Racing went on tight throughout the grid and altough there was variance on pace between drivers, there were still fights going for positions happening everywhere on track. Trespasser and B2R Antonio pulled away from the rest of the grid whilst keeping their battle for the lead going on for the entirety of both races, in the 2nd race there were more lead changes but also towards the end Trespasser gained enough breathing room to finish on top.

Both races finished with relatively few incidents, in lap 1 the expected chokepoint on turn 2 provided some chaos and some heavier contact happened between drivers but everyone managed to keep it mostly fair and clean. The next round on saturday at Rockingham might provide more passing opportunities, but don't get caught by the sausage kerbs!

A bit late with these but oh well.

Round 2 of Swirl Summer Cup saw the runner up of round 1 B2R Antonio claim the pole position for the first race. However in the race Trespasser swiftly took the lead before the end of lap 1 after a few attempts starting from the very first turn and held on to the lead confidently through the entire race whilst Antonio had a small mishap entering turn 2 in lap 8 and had to stay on defense for the rest of the race from Mandula's pace. The rest fought out for the scraps very hard but fair, altough this is also the first race of the series, that had an incident report.

The race 2 started off with a major misfortune for the 2 of the 3 RG cars during turn 1 exit when Rony slightly misjudged the speed of Mandula ahead causing both of them to spin and fall down the grid order. Luckily a pileup was avoided as many drivers were door-to-door with the incident, and the rest of the race was kept clean. A few changes for the lead occured during this longer race, with Antonio leading a few laps into halfway of the race but Trespasser managed to keep on to the top position yet again to keep his win streak going on to round 3. Mandula managed to salvage a P4 finish back which could've ended up P3 but Igor was able to hold him off, an incredible climb regardless.

I'll try to update round 3 results as soon as i can to get back on schedule with the results, apologies for the delays! And don't forget the round 4 happening tomorrow of course.
