40 is the maximum limit in race (for now). Currently Blackwood, Westhill and Rockingham have native support for it. It would be nice if all other tracks had it. It would remove the need for adding pit points and starting grid after every track change. It's not problem for me as after running weekly races for few years now I have prepared layouts ready to load for every track in game.
Before this thread derails,here's something on topic - the results of the latest RTFR event. The track,that is practically Kyoto National configuration with alternate oval part to be used to connect the infield course,was run with the small lightweight front wheels driven GTR car based on UF 1000. With the short wheelbase,sticky tyres and high revving engine it is a specific car with it's own specific handling,some could adapt to it right away,some had their problems. When looking at race results,there is something that sticks into eyes straight away - the top10 is inhabitated by only 3 teams and an individual,who was a part of one of these teams in the past.
To celebrate his 6th win in the last 9 races,Gábor led all 25 laps this tuesday as he wasn't challenged much - the competition was not far away,but with exeption of first few turns,the hungarian did not see anyone within striking distance and scored his 27th RTFR race win,while qualifying brought him the 20th pole position - that puts him in sole 2nd position in most pole positions chart. He set the fastest lap also in the race session,which is Gábor's 23rd and the top5 count was increased to 53. As much as A.Valta wanted to challenge for race win,he was more occupied with defence of 2nd position - he succeded and finished as runner up for the 2nd RTFR race in row,scoring his 20th top5 finish. Unite was the one trying hardly for position upgrade,but had to settle for 3rd place finish at the end,which is a repeat of his best finish in this scored season and 74th top5 finish. R.Kardol finished 4th to make his team represented 3 times between best 4 finishers,scoring his 82nd top5 finish,WCL's Arska completed the top5 with his 23rd top5 finish.

Normally next tuesday it would be RTFR XL,but the event is set to be run only a single race per calendar month,so it will take extra 2 weeks break and will return on 14th november with FZR being run in Aston Historic reversed configuration. So without any of regulary scheduled events there is a chance of RTFR CCCC being revived with some more experimental combo. But RGE will provide some higher difficulty racing already this sunday - the V8 Racing League has it's 8th season near it's end,the penultimate round of the 2023 series will be run on Blackwood's container storage field,where the well known Container Sprint track has been set up for great challenge once again. Full info and signups in the VERL forum section! But the tuesday after next will host another normal RTFR race - you can find clues about the combo if you watch the recording of the latest race.
