Just an Open & Locked Diff Option.

Unfortunatelly LFS editor does not allow that,because there are 2 options - open diff only or all. And if all selected,then there are again 2 options - single setting differential or not (single setting means no division in power/coast).

Then imagine you're an average LFS user in server,who finds your car in the list and makes a first drive,what would be your thoughts? If you say "It's a great car,I'm gonna use it very often",then I'll call you a liar! It has no textures,no mirrors and it consists of blocks,you cannot even change color of it. That's why the low rating - people just rate the car AS IS and not how it might in future be.

I don't get why you're so offended - you uploaded a car,that consists practically from lego building blocks and doesn't feature even the simplest features needed for usable car. You should have kept it private and if you want to show developement process,post some updates here occasionally,ask for help if needed. And not upload an unfinished car and wait for high ratings.
Also - if the high ratings is the only reason why you made it,you should not even start it. People should build their cars because they want them to build and not to make yourself popular.

The new year starts with 2nd round of AWS 2022 season and it's a round that has been on league's schedule every single year,but it was never really the same as there are plenty of different configurations to run and sometimes we even used the other AWD car. This year we'll run on configuration never used before - Chicane Route in it's default direction. The track offers both South City's longest straights and the tricky narrow chicane that can take even the best out if not focused well on racing.

After one round it's not possible to make any conclusions yet,but with defending series champion winning 1st round a possible trait shows up. He has some strong competition though - a previous champion,two winningest drivers in series history and a potential high rising rookie. Round 2 of 7 will not decide anything but might an important step towards any of the titles.


Round info:
Track: South City Chicane Route (SO6)
Laps: 40 (117km)

You can't download mods without S3 licence.

Hello,racers!

After 3 years of successful sponsorship,team World Class Lions are willing to keep their support and offers money prizes for RTFR and RTFR XL also in year 2022! There will be few minor changes,but generally speaking things won't change much - best drivers will receive nice bonuses for their efforts. Full details can be found in Sponsorship document.

For season standings the same points system will be used as in the evergoing rating system - for full details hower mousepointer over rating sheet's green colored title bar,here are the links to both spreadsheets: RTFR and RTFR XL.

Now about the changes:

* Division in 2 seasons in RTFR - the shorter event will now have two 10-round seasons in 2022,first will start with 1st event of the year and after summer break the 2nd season will start on 16th august and last until the december. Each season will have it's own standings and winners. The RTFR races between these 2 seasons will count as non-championship - just like in old times,we'll be racing just for fun and overall achievements.

* Best 10 of 12 rounds count towards RTFR XL - the longer event is focused on endurance and therefor will last whole year,but there is a releaf for those being out on vacation at some point as only best 10 points scores will count to season total,just like in 1st year of sponsored championship.

* Removal of teams championship in RTFR - last season had a new awards list for best teams which unfortunatelly wasn't a very intriguing one. Not that we want to complain about someone,but the competition for table lead in this championship was rather non-existant with domination of a single team,while remaining teams were spreading out and had very few positions changes through the whole season.

* Points system update for RTFR - generally the system won't change,only the amount of points and also count of multiple points scorers will be increased as during the previous season there were way too many 1-point earners. Previous system awarded 1st place with 10 points,2nd with 9 points ... 9th with 2 points and 10th and below with 1 point (extra point for each position with every 3 drivers more starting). Now the amount will be increased to 20 points for 1st place,19 for 2nd ... 2 for 19th place and 1 for 20th and below,while keeping the extra points system also alive - 23 race starters will mean 21 points for winner etc. Qualifying and fastest lap points will not be changed,therefor will have a bit smaller effect on totals. RTFR XL points system will not change as it has it's own attendance change adaption system.

* Mods will also be raced in RTFR - with the latest patch we will also follow the flow and include user created cars in our races,mixing slowly in the list of already well used LFS standard cars. A spreadsheet "RGE approved mods" has been created to keep track of cars that can be used in our events. With time more mods will be tested and more of them will receive green light and full approval and if some modders will try to make fools out of us - they'll will be banned from our events. Currently we'll mix mods in to be featured in every 2nd to 4th normal RTFR.

* Mods can be selected for racing in RTFR XL - besides the winner's glory,the XL version has always given the winner the chance to decide combination for next race. From now on also mods will be available for selection,but they will also have to yield to same selection rules (used car cannot be selected in next 4 races and the class - in next 2 races),while mods in general cannot be selected in 2 following races. The spreadsheet "RGE approved mods" has already listed all mods that from first glance are acceptable and all have received class rating to make clear what's not available if a class is locked out.


The RTFR season will start on 4th january and will keep the usual semi-weekly schedule for 26 total events (middle 6 - non-championship),while 1st RTFR XL of this year will take place on 25th january and happen every 4 weeks except there will be 6 weeks break between november and december races. Both events have been entered into lfs.net racing calendar,where the combos will be updated as soon as possible - the combo for first RTFR will be posted this sunday,while the combo for first RTFR XL has yet to be subbmitted (at time of this post) by the winner of previous race. Info about each event will be posted in this forum subsection as it was always done previously in the information threads.


In the 2021 Sim Broadcasts streamed RTFR and RTFR XL races with full commentary and boosted the attendance to full servers with their promotion. This year won't be much different - the team has agreed to livestream the "championship" races at their availability and keep the promotion of this event alive. As before the livestream will focus on the action during the race,starting their broadcast before it with their pre-race information.

Additionally you can visit SimBroadcasts.tv for their full streaming schedule and contact,or their lfs.net forum thread for local updates.

Quote from Gutholz :

Maybe it would be possible to re-add the funtion to play with two players via one license?

Something like:
Allow two connections of one account, if that is the account who started the server and if they connect from the same IP.

That could be sort of an option - "local" setting on lfs.net hosts,where you can connect only from same IP and no outsiders allowed to join such host. There could be allowed to join with same licence up to 3(?) connections for own local racing. Not sure how much effort needed from devs side and if it's worth the hassle. Also that would mean few extra licence sales lost. I'm just coming up with ideas.

I created a google drive folder also for this event series:

Race statistics
RTFR CCCC race wins:
1 - YES V. Laguckas (Bacalhau)
1 - S1DUS*Litti (P1666)
1 - LLM.Sobis (Transam)

This event was hosted using rather slow cars,which,despite 4.9 liter V8 engine that delivers almost 200 horsepower,can't reach the pace of GTi class cars in the classic Blackwood GP Track. With 3 speed gearbox there wasn't much shifting included - just 6 gearshifts per lap were required.

V.Laguckas has not much success in standard RTFR events,but still has his share of achievements - to his 3 wins in both RTFR and RTFR XL he added one yesterday to this simple series - he set the fastest lap in qualifying,but both other drivers who broke into 1:34 laptimes did not start the race,so the lithuanian did not had much competition,but still it was no domination - he won just by 3 seconds over finish line and his fastest lap of the race was just by 3 hundredths of a second faster. P.Koivunen was a relatively close 2nd in this race,but had no real chance to challenge for win - still the 2nd place finish is much better result than his sole top5 finish in both standard RTFR races. Texas finished 3rd,repeating his best result in both other RTFR events.

With this the Race Green Events activity is over in this year,but the action in new year will begin already in 3rd day of it with AWS 2022 round 2 at South City,racing the well known FXR,one day later we'll start the new sponsored season of RTFR and that will feature the 21st car in RTFR history - full details of both events will be posted during this week,besides that also an announcement regarding sponsorship of RTFR for 2022.
