An evening to remember, for both good and bad. FTSR season 4 continues, and with plenty of excitement and turmoil to keep everyone interested. A huge turnout proves that this season continues to bring forward new racers ready to make a name for themselves, although most just embarrassed themselves in this race. The test run was a mess and an example of how this race was always going to begin. Experienced racers Hype, Alarba, and Kessu all participated as well as the return of the two-time champion Klaus for the very first time this season. The bookies, despite Klaus's long time absence from the circuit, refused to underestimate his abilities and placed him as a top contender, as well as this seasons favorites Kessu and Hype. Kessu and Hype were unfortunate to get a bad starting position on the grid with Alarba taking pole position with his questionable choice of vehicle. Kody, Stubborn, and Ahmed joined him at the front. Behind were racers Silent, Gomiro, and Pyro. 4th line consisted of Klaus with co-driver Stefan, Han, and Luchgox. At the back were racers Dez, Maddy, Kessu, and Hype with his co-driver Shinyeyes.
As the race began Ahmed took the immediate lead but then collided with Alarba on the first turn. The collision causing a pile up of cars. Luchgox stalled his car, forcing Kessu to drive around him on the grid. Luch then heads forwards ramming Kessu and pushing him into oncoming cars. Ulrich slams hard into Kessu pushing him back on track with luck. Maddy fails to take advantage as he struggles to leave 2nd gear. Alarba still struggling to control his vehicle, blocks off Gomiro and forcing Kessu to slam into the side of his car. Alarba recovers luckily but Luchgox is pushed into a wall. In all the madness Kody forgets the track and turns the wrong way with DeZ unknowingly following him. Ahmed then misses the turning and is forced back around 4 positions as Ulrich, Kessu, and Alarba overtake. Up ahead meanwhile, Silent and Klaus avoid all trouble behind and put themselves in favorable positions. Han is behind in 3rd with now Ulrich in 4th.
Some racers pull out as the front 6 battle it out in a close race. Klaus attempts to overtake Silent on the inside corner, using the pathway. As he pulls on front however, Silent clips into the side of his car, spinning both racers out of control. Han doesn't take the window of opportunity to overtake, as he slams into Klaus's car pushing him back into pole position.
Han then overtakes Silent as Silent struggles to recover. Positions remain the same until the very end where Ulrich's car seems to suffer some kind of malfunction allowing Kessu to overtake just before the finish line.
Afterwards, controversy arises over the use of pathways with Han and Kessu complaining on Klaus and Silents use of the pathway by the Riverside oriental takeaway resturant. Nonetheless, this use of the pathway is no stranger to anyone experienced with FTSR and Klaus remains stern explaining season 4 should not derail from previous seasons rules. Organizer Alarba is yet to make a public statement regarding this.
After the race, Season 4 crowd favorite Hype apologies to fans for his unfortunate race blaming his misfortune on the other racers who seemed to purposely block him off for unknown reasons, though conspiracy theorists say there might have been foul-play involved. Kessu remains frustrated at the result and warns viewers that there won't be anymore Mr Nice Guy in future races. Klaus lets everyone know he's back and better than ever, while Han demands Klaus should be deducted points out of rage. Silent fears he may also be in line for point deductions but further relays that other racers have always used such pathway in the past. Stay tuned racers and fans! This season has only just got interesting.....
