In 2011, the French community's Live For Speed Endurance Series competition closed its doors. Today, after a first season the LFS France team is pleased to announce its return with a revamped formula and the use of all the tools that our favourite simulation has to offer, bold layouts and mods honed for competition! After experimenting last year, we now bring you this championship.
There will be 6 rounds over the course of the event, with the use of layouts to spice things up for each round! From 1:00h to 4:00h, you'll find formats inspired by real endurance races and the use of tracks reproduced by talented designers. Each race will have its own post on the forum to ensure it's easy for everyone to read. Like last year, the calendar will include a charity event as part of the worldwide 24h for Anna event to raise money for the association Enfance et Cancer. As JSK and S.Martin win the title last year, they pick Round 2 and 5 track, say welcome to a Nando Lonso Shibuya street track and the return of AA Nova Long Beach !
2 categories will be represented for this championship, the LMP2, powered by KenBlock30's mods, and the GT3, powered by CarlosSainz55 and Aleksandr_124rus's car panel. We prefer to use the heavy praise LMP2 over Hypercar, due to a European Le Mans Series Inspired format. We also swap the Pochete, to fit with the global choice.
To register a team, there will be a section dedicated to this purpose with the conditions to be met in order to be accepted. Crews can consist of 1 to 3 drivers, depending on requirements, and information for the day of the race will be sent by private message to secure access to the server. There is no obligation to participate in the entire championship. However, please let us know if you are unable to participate, or if there are replacements in your crews. You can register here
Drivers can pre-qualify for the race up until the day before the race. This will determine the starting grid. If you are registered but have not pre-qualified, you can still enter the race, but you will start last in your category. The start time for the races is fixed at 21:00 CET.
The points system is based on the Le Mans Cup system, with 1 joker per season, which will allow you to not count less good results. Joker are awarded at the end of the season. Round 0 or prologue doesn't count as an official round, it's just a shakedown to adjust the last details, so you're free to come or not without wasting a joker!
Each race will have its own briefing, which will be helpful for specific situations.
The formalities of the rules can be found here. Don't hesitate to ask your questions under this post. Our discord is also available to answer any further questions.
