Between normal RTFR races we cleared the UF from steroids and raced it in the default version - normal tyres,no beefed up engine and no locked differential. As always it's a challenge of it's own. Having the rather low attendance during this "offseason" we dared to select a sprint track with just over 1.5km lap length,where the slow car still needed almost one minute to circle around it - two possible overtake places per lap and close racing type of car did gave some drivers plenty of disputes for positions.
The defending 2-time UF1 race winner however did not have much battles or even challengers for position - late in qualifying he set a new lap record beating closely arranged competition by almost 2 tenths,while positions 2-4 were split by a hundredth between each of them. Gábor scored his 9th pole position,led all 33 laps of the race and crossed the finish line to score his 14th race win,setting fastest lap of the race on the way,which is his 9th and his top5 finish is his 27th. It's also Gábor's 2nd winning streak and a chance to score a better streak. Fatal was on the bottom end in the close qualifying battle,but starting from 4th position gave him the chance to advance to 2nd position in the race results - that's his 12th top5 finish. Spirts got the best RTFR race ever - he qualified 2nd,which is 2 positions better than previous best and despite losing a position in the race,the 3rd place finish is a 3 positions improvement from his previous best. Arska also lost a position between green and chequered,finished 4th and scored his 17th top5 finish,his countryman Doni started from 10th and climbed up to the last top5 finishing position,which is his 11th top5 finish.
If there will be a race next week under RTFR-CCCC tag,will be decided rather spontaniously during the weekend,but RGE will start preperations for it's 1st 2-wheeled event (teaser was already posted) - few final things to be polished up and info could be posted this weekend,aiming the event to be held on sunday in 2 weeks. But before scaring people of a fall-a-rama,it's worth to mention it won't be a MotoGP type of race,we have different kind of competition on mind.
