The French League, also called by Frenchies the "Ligue FR", is a friendly league running since the earlier years of LFS on LFS France. It was originally founded by MT-Shark, and since 2008 it moved on the Gcomp plateform build by Gai-Luron, which is also know for his LFS Lapper. It has been managed and ran by many hoster/admins (Shark, Loconstant, Quaid, Momo92i, Worm...), but since 2013, System (Kova.) stayed in charge of it, and has never stopped it despite the lowering grids.
Basically made for french talking people, it has always allowed strangers of another nations to compete in, without any restrictions.
The concept is to take part to a certain amount of events which is an average of 10 to 12 events per season, among which you have 3 jokers, which mean you can miss or fail 3 events during the whole season, they won't be counted. Each event is made by more or less than 4 weeks of pre-qualifying, in which you compete to set your fastest lap on the designed combo at the server, in order to set your grid position. The pre-qualifying ends the night from Sunday to Monday at midnight, french time. And then the following monday at 9:15 pm french time, takes place the race for about 30 mins.
Monday evening, the French League made its return after a summer break, with the FAT SEVENSPORT at Westhill National. After 3 weeks of pre-qualifications, KingOfIce held up his reputation by scoring pole position, ahead his Australian team mate and championship rival, WrappedPigeon. Donald even drove a GUM 1-2-3 on the grid, triplet that could have even been a quadruplet, but Team Winners' L.Rydh had to break it and get the 4th position, in front of GUM's Daf.
For the race, there was no doubt that the Aussie was in his own league, like Lando Norris in real life F1 Championship race hosted in Holland last sunday, WrappedPigeon made a dominant race, gapping KingOfIce and Donald of 20 seconds on the finish line, for a GUM 1-2-3. Behind the podium, Belgium's NFR Proxima scored a good "remontada" by gaining 3 places after a discreet but solid race. LFS France's boss, FSR System, also did the same, by finishing behind NFR's driver, with +3 places and the 5th place on the finish line. Less success for L.Rydh who suffered of a puncture, and it was the same story for the actual runner-up of the championship, Antiaris' DLV, pretty funny to note that they punctured on the same lap!
Next race will be held on September 23rd, but this time, we'll be back to a Live For Speed classic : the racers will have a meeting with the XFR at Aston National reverse (AS3R).
