RTFR created yet another tricky challenge for the racers - this time in custom track in Fern Bay that uses most of the Gold reversed course,but cuts over through Cadet's part,which leads to the bumpy old straight,creating a jump for the NGT class car. XFR is on the bottom part of RTFR's popularity contest,but with 24 attendants the average number will raise a bit.
The dutchman R.Kardol did not attend previous 8 RTFR races,but returned in top form - he was the fastest in qualifying to score his 20th pole position,losing up the tie for 3rd most. Despite some early lap struggles with fellow front row starter,R.Kardol managed to lead every single lap,keeping the competition at bay later on to cross finish line as race winner for the 23rd time,scoring also his 95th top5 finish. Current standings leader A.Valta was the only proper rival for winner as he was the only other driver to beat 1:03 laptime mark in qualifying and kept the leader within sight for whole race to cross finish line just over 2 seconds behind winner,scoring his 6th top5 finish in row,27th overall. Unite marked himself as owner of fastest lap of the race,which is his 26th already,but had to settle for bottom step of the podium,scoring his 88th top5 finish. Gábor did not put much effort in qualifying,ending up with slowest laptime in his last minute run,but progressed through field to finish in 4th position,which is his 68th top5 finish. Thehemuli found just a single position improvement between start and finish to finish 5th - 15 is his new top5 count.

Next week is the 1st tuesday in many months without planned RGE event,but we might come up with some idea spontaniously,but in 2 weeks RTFR will return with one of the road legal cars - hints about which and where can be heard when watching the stream recording. To make 3 races in row,also the next RTFR XL race,scheduled in 3 weeks,will also run one of the FWD cars - UF1 has been selected to run in South City's Classic configuration in reversed direction (the 6 weeks gap instead usual 4 is intentional to keep each race in different month).
