Motorsport and simracing fans and Live for Speed fans:

The first round of the 4th annual LFSCART season begins TODAY, Saturday, May 14th at 18:45. Qualifying begins at 18:00. We'll come on the air at about 18:30 for the superpole session followed by the race.

The track is Aston North, a short but challenging track, with a sweeping fast section as well as a long straight to test top speed. The first corners are slow-speed hairpins. This track has a bit of everything, and a compromising setup is required.

The car is a beast - it's called a Formula V8. It's 3.0 litre V8 has 450 horsepower, weighs 600 kg, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 762 bhp/ton. It has no driver aids - the driver has to control the beast of a car themselves. It's hard to get used to, but when you are good at driving it, it's VERY rewarding.

Race distance today is 47 laps, with a compulsory pitstop required. We'll have a formation lap then a standing start - Turn 1 will be very dodgy.

Is there a tracker?

Just take spdo satelite/LFS Remote? Server standings are correct, since there are no race rejoin allowed in case of time-out/shift+P.

Good luck everyone! I'm sitting out this round because I had no practice (and I've just arrived home from an exam) and I can't afford to ruin the leaders' races again.

EDIT: Is there a chat channel (mibbit) available today?

http://newdimensionracing.com/lfscart for qualifying, to have all the qual times in one easy-tracked doc

Otherwise it's what you get in LFS / spdo / remote / TVDirector

It's me or, Dom is not listed on the tracker ?

E: Now it's good. :|

Thought I'd mention we're about to start racing!

Well,I never cared about that Eurovision crap anyway,but would rather race myself there than watching,but... I'm just too slow...

About commentary - they get almost as much exited as latvian F1 commentators,but at least for a reason! Latvian F1 commentators getting so exited just when cars following each other without even trying to overtake somebody...

Love the fact the you laugh at a crash :L

That commentating is some serious sh*t

Who's that mumbler in the background?
