The car previously used in Retro Cup was unleashed with it's raw performance this tuesday on a standard LFS race course - the longest one of all. With laptimes just below 3 minutes (or for few drivers above 3 minutes) the track alone gave some endurance-ish feeling,the 75 minutes race around it turned into a proper tyre failure drama,catching out also few top5 candidates. 31 drivers qualified,setting the highest attendance since february race,which coincidentally was also run with a Porsche based GT racecar,however only 29 actually started,24 crossed the finish line with 2 others being classified in results.
The top2 drivers are the same who duelled in 2 past normal RTFR races,however a proper duel never happened this time - Gábor took matters in his hands from early on,taking all the achievables from this race. Even if by just 7 hundredths of a second over the 8.8km course,the hungarian was fastest in qualifying,scoring his own record improving 13th pole position,led 19 of 26 laps to score his 11th RTFR XL race win (tying 2nd most),setting also fastest lap of the race (tying all time most),his top5 count now reaches the number of Black Jack - 21. A.Valta was the only driver not left far away by leader - he led 7 laps (6 more than in his only winning RTFR XL race) during pitstop shuffling and finished in strong 2nd place less than 10 seconds behind winner,scoring his 3rd top5 finish,while 2nd place in qualifying is 1 position better than his previous best result. Best of the rest was Rejekt,who finished 3rd already 47 seconds behind winner,scoring his 3rd top5 finish. He was closelly followed by 2 drivers - P.Koivunen in 4th position,who repeated his only other previous top5 finish and Rony in 5th,who scored his 31st top5 finish.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
GTR class cars seems to be quite interesting for racers - all user made cars classified in GTR class had at least 30 drivers attendance (both XRR and FZR also each had 1 race with such attendance),however there are exceptions - both FXR and on it based V8 Supercar are far away from such attendance numbers.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
Every driver this time either changed tyres or filled fuel or even both,so no actual clock pitter this time. However Madjester was the fastest in this race with his 10.02 seconds pitstop,very closelly followed by several other drivers.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Seems like P.Koivunen did not made much effort in qualifying as he qualified only 14th,but during the race found plenty of pace improvement,making a total of 10 positions progress,which is just 1 position better than 2nd best result.
VOD at Youtube:
This time race winner was very quick submitting his selection (his 2nd and last in this year) and it will be a repeat of 11th RTFR combo - UF1 at South City Classic reversed. The race will have the highest lapcount since 65th RTFR XL - 73 laps are required to have the race to exceed nominal length of 75 minutes as the lap is just 2 seconds above 1 minute.
