The of round 7 brought quite an unknown factor in the field - it wasn't really known if this track suits powerful cars with it's straights or agile cars with the tricky turn sequences,but now when looking at the results it's more the 2nd option,however 2nd place finisher was with car more suited for fast tracks. with 21 drivers this was the lowest attended round of the season and repeated 2nd lowest of the 1.5 years short history of the league - however this is a known trait of many leagues where attendance is dropping towards end of season and during summer vacation time,august round might be even lower attended.

RB4 was deffinitelly one of the best suited cars for this track and the lithuanian driver with only numbers in his name was the only one to get it in draw. 136 was over 2 seconds faster in qualifying over almost 200 seconds long lap and was already 3 seconds away from competition when crossing 1st split of 1st lap. During the race 136 found almost another second to improve fastest lap and finished almost 22 seconds ahead of competition,clocking by far the biggest margin of victory this season. With this the RB4 is the 2nd car ever to win and set fastest lap of the race in back to back races while it was the 1st time ever when a single car was on pole position in 2 races in row. Current championship standings leader J.Holmes got the 1.5 ton sports car of late 90ies (just like the not attending standings 2nd place) and wasn't too pleased with it in qualifying,setting just 4th fastest laptime,but had a good start with it,taking 2nd place already in 1st lap,but that's where his progress stalled and the englishman repeated his lowest finishing result in this series. Another non-continental european took the bottom step of the podium - Twincam put his FXO on front row in qualifying,but lost the position early and despite all the efforts never regained it. He finished over 2 seconds behind closest rival in 3rd position,repeating his best finishing result here.


With 2nd place finish J.Holmes of course kept his lead in standings,however his closest rival is the most recent winner 136,who is now 21 points behind,M lost another position and is now 3rd with 34 points gap to leader.

Born 2 Race repeated season highest score of 44 points and with that extended their lead in teams championship to 52 points over defending champions RGA,Zafiralis is still 3rd and starting to secure the position more and more. Only a single lithuanian attended in this round,so Lithuania's lead over defending champions Finland was reduced to 40 points,no changes in 3rd position either - UK sets apart from rest of the table. There is however a new leader in manufacturers championship - BZ30 is the 2nd model that has reached the required 6 scores and has better points average than XM-5,leading by 6 points. 3rd is XF Coupe,which still needs the 6th score to be eligible for championship,but currently has better average score than leaders.

Most drawn car of the round was 8JFZ SUPERCELESTRAL with 4 draws,however only half of them arrived,closelly followed by Acosta,Stellar and Talot with 3 draws each. Most drawn car all time is still Talot with 42 draws,Acosta has cought up to BZ30 and Imprezzive B2 - all 3 cars have been drawn 39 times.
8JFZ is also the first to mention in new highest results section - J.Holmes' 2nd place finish is 4 positions higher than his rival's previous best result with this car. 2 drivers swapped the best results with the cars - Twincam finished 3rd and beat Arska's 4th place finish with FXO (and repeated 2nd place in qualifying),while Arska beat Twincam's 14th position with Fend Torus by finishing 12th. Also other version of Fend Torus saw the best result improved - Thehemuli qualified the Fend Torus T in 7th position and brought it to 4th place in finish,beating J.A.Katilas 20th and 16th positions respectivelly. 2 cars were drawn for the 1st time,both were also used straight away,setting new initial best results - LG-mies run the FZ70 to 18th in qualifying and improved the result in finish to 11th position,but Unite qualified 14th and dropped down to 19th in finish with the Bavaria A34.

Next round theoretically should be the fastest ever in RandomCar - the selected track consists of 3 long straights and few tricky turns that connect them. The race in Aston National will be 15 laps long and with 84 kilometers it will be the longest distance in the series besides the 1h season finale race. Cross your fingers to not get a low power car for next round!
