Once in a while RTFR offers something a bit more difficult and this tuesday the challenge was a ridiculously fast car in a lower grade track - Fern Bay. This race was all about consistency in fast paced race,where each smaller mistake could turn into quite a disaster and racing close together with others just increased the chances for disaster to happen. 24 drivers started the race and we lost almost 40% of them due retirements of different kinds during the first 9 laps,however the remaining 15 drivers kept running to finish the 32 laps race,or for most - 31 laps race,some even one less.
With a record of 2 wins out of past 2 races run with the BF1,Gábor entered this race as main favourite,clocking the fastest lap in qualifying to score his 37th RTFR pole position - that was just a start of his success this tuesday as he led every single of the 32 laps during the race,tying Botsi for all time most laps led count already after 1st one and overtaking him after completing 2nd. With this he scored the 40th RTFR race win,taking also the fastest lap of the race home - his 37th,adding also 73rd top5 finish to his stats. Suforr tried to challenge for pole position as he set a laptime just 1 hundreth away from pole position time,earning his 1st ever RTFR front row start (previous best was 3rd position in qualifying),however he lost a position early on just to regain it later - also the 2nd place finish is his best ever result,improvement by a position and 4th top5 finish overall. Thehemuli had some struggles early on,however found pace later and even tried to catch 2nd position,but simply run out of laps and finished 3rd,scoring his 16th top5 finish. Also R.Kardol had some positions regaining to do and finished 4th and last on lead lap to score his 99th top5 finish,while another RK finished 5th just behind race winner to score his 87th top5 finish,first after more than one year break.
