Deadline for protests - wednesday,19:00 UTC

The 8-track in Kyoto brought an extra question mark to the game - long straights surely benefitted the more powerful cars,however the few turns - lighter and also AWD cars. 24 drivers attended this round,which is again a new lowest number of the season,however 23 of them were standing on grid - one more than in round 2 at Rockingham. All the position switches happened from mid to back of the field as top3 finished in same order as they started,however 3rd place had to do some passing to return to his position.

J.Holmes recorded 2nd ever winning streak in RandomCar as he run away from competition slightly through whole race with his RB4,scoring for the car model it's 1st ever race win (and also 3rd pole position),while his fastest lap of the race was also the 1st ever for LFS's own AWD machine. By leading all 27 laps,the britton climbed up to the top of most laps led chart passing previous leader M. Unite got another winless car with a pole position in it's history - BZ30 Roadster brought him to 2nd place in results with 2.7 seconds gap to winner over the finish line. 136 was the only other driver to beat 1:07 laptime mark,but with FWD car he had some disadvantage on start,so he had to regain plenty of positions to return his XF Coupe to 3rd position - coincidentally finishing 3rd in back to back races with 2 different XF model versions.


With leader not attending the change at the top of the table was unavoidable - J.Holmes is now the new standings leader,15 points ahead of M. Another B2R driver 136 is still 3rd,currently 26 points off leader.

In teams championship status quo remains as top6 teams finished the latest round in exactly same order as they are in standings,therefor only points gaps were changed - B2R increased their advantage over 2nd position RGA by a single point to reach 38 points gap,S1dus lost 6 points in this round and is now 104 points apart from lead in 3rd place. For the 1st time this year nations championship leaders Lithuania was outscored in one round,however their lead is still big enough to not worry about losing position - 49 points gap over Finland in 2nd and 68 points gap over UK (round winner) is still a big margin. There is a change in manufacturers championship - XM-5 is the 1st car to have scored 6 results,therefor being the 1st to be eligible for championship,being placed on top of table with 11.8 points. 2nd best is BZ30,which has not reached the minimum scores yet,followed by XF Coupe in 3rd.

Saliva15 was the car of the round - it was drawn 6 times and 4 drivers were attending,however the most drawn car Talot did not received a single draw this round,but still leads most draws chart by 1 over BZ30 and Imprezzive B2. Before this round there were 2 drivers who had same car drawn 4 times,now this number has been doubled - Thehemuli had the Imprezzive B2 for the 4th time this round and Jsk got the Fend Torus for the 4th time in 5 latest rounds,tying T.Soini (also Imprezzive B2) and Motimoukari (Nortz XRT2) for most single car draws.
There were also plenty of changes for best results of cars - J.Holmes repeated best result in qualifying and set new best finishing result for RB4,improving Fast's best result by 1 position. Unite repeated BZ30's best finishing result with his 2nd place finish. Also 4th place finisher Madjester repeated best result for his car XM-5. With lots of draws it was bound that Arska's 17th position in qualifying and 18th in race will be improved - that was done by 3 drivers,best of them was Master,qualifying 4th and finishing 5th. Arska regained best racer's status for other car - he brought the Poscher to 5th in qualifying and 9th in finish,improving Yasin's 14th and 13th positions respectively. Motimoukari got the Dorito FD7 SR as the first driver and set the initial best results for it - 16th in qualifying and 12th in finish. Twincam improved only race result for Fend Torus - 14th place finish was 5 positions better than best result from Jsk. J.Katila was the one to get other improved Fend Torus T for the 1st time and brought it to 20th position in qualifying and 16th in finish. Sobis is still the only one to get drawn GT-V34 Mine9 and with 2nd draw he also used it,setting it's initial best results of 24th in qualifying and 19th in finish. Tbug improved best qualifying result for Roku Troeno by 10 positions (previous best by Tomce was 28th position) and was the 1st to start this car in race,placing 23rd.

Round 7 will take place 4 weeks after this round and will be run in custom configuration in Westhill - South Loop Extended (track provided by Unite). The track is expected to be completed in over 3 minutes - it is yet to be determined if the race will be 9 or 10 laps long.
