The fastest car in our favourite racing simulator is a challenge of it's own - despite being equipped with traction control,it's still on the highest difficulty level due it's speed alone. Plenty of drivers were overstrained with the task of racing the BF1 in a field of over 30 drivers,even if most of them were quite quickly spread out around the 7+km circuit. Even then there were plenty on avoidable incidents,proving that many drivers joining this race are not ready for this car. Despite lack of actual reports,few incidents still got attention for race administration,therefor there are few penalties.
But many drivers are ready for this car - the winner of this race for example. After losing lead in 2021 standings,R.Kardol came on top for this race,setting fastest lap in qualifying (his 6th pole position) and leading the last 15 laps to cross the finish line as RTFR race winner for the 8th time,scoring the 10th racewin for Netherlands. He added also 39th top5 finish to his achievements. On the final lap Unite was able to steal the fastest lap of the race,which is his 16th in RTFR,but had to settle for 2nd place finish with a noticable margin to winner,38th top5 finish for the finn. The all-time winningest driver of RTFR Botsi returned to this series after break of 8 races and finished 3rd behind 2 teammates to make all S1dus podium,59th top5 finish in his account. 4th was Ayoub Maroc,finishing in top5 for the 6th time,but top5 was closed by Rando,who was already almost 1 minute behind winner,3rd top5 finish for the estonian here.
