We're really happy with the number of entrants so far, the GTR class is certainly popular, we'd like to see a few more NGTs now though!

To correct an error in the briefing: Every driver will only be allowed to do a single hot lap before having to spectate.

Quote from Deutschland2007 :

but all cars were easily within 0.2-0.3 seconds of eachother.

You was probably a different server like me. I see other differences FZ2 was where )) and XR2 start peace.
And yes I know suppose what is result part in the last 15 laps...not playing it first day and try it many times. For me it was funny pushing 32 laps hotlap but the fact remains that air intake restriction is unpremeditated first 2 combos. I wonder what will happen R07 consider...

I was talking about the potential pace each car has when pedalled around the track close to it's fastest possible pace. Many top drivers agreed with the values used in yesterday's race, you're in fact the first person to complain about them. The restrictions in Round 1 could admittedly have been better, however it was massively blown out of proportion with the GQ situation. And afterall, you still had the choice of car, nobody forced you to race with XRR.

Quote from Slovakia ring :

Good map, good cars, good race but again wrongly chosen air intake restriction as with the first round. Release of restriction for FX (slow turns idel for 4x4) could afford greater downforce what caused the great imbalance :/ XR failed to catch up with FX with R2R2 ?!? I pushed 100% this led only big degradation tires and fight for first place was a losing nothing would have changed the after pitstop if i watch replay.

The BoP for this race was fine, the cars were as close as they could have been. You cannot be seriously suggesting that you know what the result would have been not having taken part in the last 15 laps. You set fastest laps during the race, that you got your strategy wrong cannot be put down to us, I personally thought you had more than a shot at a podium spot. I'm not saying XRR was the fastest car, but all cars were easily within 0.2-0.3 seconds of eachother.

As some of you might have guessed already, Genuine Racing will not organise a follow-up series to GT1 Challenge. With the rather standardised event format we have these days, we're actually in a position to launch another season of any of our leagues tomorrow if we wanted to. However, we have collectively decided, that we are no longer going to run a series in a sim that has clearly stagnated massively when it comes to developing the key areas of a racing simulation, and has also, for a grand total of almost 6 years, failed to produce regular updates, or updates at all at times. This approach has clearly driven a lot of the top drivers out of LFS into other simulations like rFactor (2), iRacing or Assetto Corsa, and we can't blame them or it either. You go where the people are, where the competition is and the longevity is, if you jump ships too late you're going to be left alone.

For the most part, the drivers who have supported Genuine Racing leagues and events have been a great addition to our series and have mostly been very loyal to us as well. We would like to say "thank you" to all of them for having made all of these championships a huge success. A league can only ever be seen to be as good as the drivers actually competing make it seem! Because of the loyalty that's been shown to us, we actually wouldn't mind continuing, but for the reasons mentioned above we won't until a major content update is released.

To finish off this announcement we would also like to thank cargame.nl, QServerHosting.com and Van Der Mark Transport Rotterdam who have all contributed to put us in a position to run these leagues! And I personally would like to thank all people who have contributed to running Genuine Racing leagues in the last 2.5 years:

• Stuart Baker
• Mihai Balan
• Ricardo Costa
• Dave de Beer
• Phil Diaz
• Ben Dubray

Quote from Litro :

Your skin is missing a numberboard from the bonnet of the car.

Due to the low interest levels, the 2014-2015 season of New Endurance challenge is cancelled. We feel that in the current state of LFS, it is no longer viable to run a team-based endurance championship, even one that only has four rounds. We seemingly were way too optimistic when we relaunched the series it as it appears. We are sad to have to take this step, but see it as unavoidable. We would like to thank the teams that did file entries, but ultimately there weren't ever going to be enough to run a whole season with a decent size field.

A further announcement concerning future events will follow within the next week.

Come on everyone, let's make this a worthwhile season finale.

Password for Round 6 applied to Server 1. The 2nd server is still open to all for practice!

Added Round 6 pre-qualifying results to the archive.

Sorry, I forgot to switch the numbers in the first post for the next round. You're too late for Round 6 but you can still race in R7 if you change your number.

GT2WS 2012 and GT1WS 2012-2013 were the best GTWS leagues. Last season wasn't great, remember the 6 cars in GT1? Activity has gotten lower since then, so I can't imagine things being that great even with only one class, whether that's GT1 or GT2.
