Our return to LFS standard cars led to race with UF1 "on steroids" - the NGT class car UFR. It was also the 2nd return of tricky Container Rush layout,previously used in 146th RTFR running FO8. The mixture of container storage area,rush through central road of industrial area and run through support roads of Blackwood racetrack turned out to be tricky,especially with cars this rollhappy on the curbing,that led to quite low finishing race as just 10 of 19 starters crossed the finish line,just 7 on lead lap,but a total of 14 were classified as finishers as they completed the 50% distance requirement.
Despite starting from 7th position (which however was inside of row 3 of the 3-wide grid),Gábor found a way through competition to make pass for race lead on lap 15,he led the remaining 8 laps and crossed the finish line to score his 13th RTFR race win,becoming the 4th driver to reach this amount. During the race he set a new lap record in this combo,thus scoring his 8th fastest lap of the race,this was his 26th top5 finish. Thehemuli scored his best ever qualifying result - 3rd,which is actually halved his previous best result,so the chance to score also best finishing result was set high. The finn eventually climbed up to 2nd position,which is his 4th top5 finish after 3 fifth place finishes. Previous winner (back then winning a race with the other UF car) J.Pickard is a rather rare guest latelly,this time he joined and scored his 15th top5 finish with a 3rd position in the results. Onur slipped in lead early on lap 1,but lost it after conceding to race winner's pass. Even worse - he happened to turn into pitlane and complete a pitstop before starting final lap,slipping down the order and finishing 4th - that's his 3rd top5 finish. The top5 was closed by another Zafiralis driver,who improved best results in both sessions - Motimoukari qualified 6th,which is improvement by a single position,but finishing 5th was a great improvement by 7 positions.
