[justify]Finally the sign-ups are open for the Open Endurance CupTeams can now apply for the first season.

The season will feature a race at the new Westhill National reversed track and two well known tracks in the world of Live for Speed endurance racing: Kyoto Ring Grand Prix Long and Aston Historic. Before the serious buisness starts, a test race will be held at Aston North reversed, giving everyone a chance to get a clue how the race events will look like.

Hello Racers,

We are pleased to announce a new update of Live for Speed with some very good performance improvements. Various systems have been updated to reduce the work done by the graphics card and the CPU. The simulator runs more smoothly and you can choose a higher frame rate or run your computer more efficiently and consistently with a limited rate. This is a great help at the highly detailed Westhill environment released in the 0.6H update. We have improved the frame rate limiter (in Misc Options) so Live for Speed can run very accurately at the rate you set.

[justify]The GridQualifying has ended and CityLiga 21 will start with two grids of 31 and 30 drivers and further 9 drivers on the waiting list.
CoRe L.Kovács and A.Valta fought their battle over the course of the GridQualifying, with the better end for the CoRe SimRacing driver. v\N.Morvai rounds up the top-3.

It is still possible to sign into CL21, but be aware that you will sign up into the waiting list now.

After the third round of the season it is Peltokangas who leads the championship with 250 points. Igor after a sensational drive at Fernbay has closed to within 20 points at 230 and is tied with Savilaakso who had been underwhelming in the past rounds. Fourth place driver Wdowiarz has 227 points and is still very much in the hunt being one of the most consistent drivers in the field. Previous point leader and prior series champion Maki-Hoimela appears to have fallen out of contention, 175 points, after missing Round 3 due to prior commitments. As the championship battle heats no one knows who will end up on top.

[justify]The Open Endurance Cup will hold its inagual race on Sun 13 Sep 2015But before the series starts the serious buisness, a test event will be held. On Sun 30 Aug 2015 a 2 hour race will be held at Aston North reversed, giving everyone a chance for first experiences with this multi-class league. This event shall be a simulation of how the point scoring events are going to look like.

Meanwhile the server for the Open Endurance Cup went online and is open to anyone right now. The server is kindly hosted by New Dimension RacingThe website is currently still under development.

Freshly tanned and more or less well recovered from the last season it once again is time for a new one, Cityliga 21! There will only be 9 scheduled races this far, as always with carefully picked car and track combinations which we hope, should produce some decent races. Then 10th race will be a post-season endurance race to end the Cityliga year 2015 on a high with a special event.

After a raft of rule changes to the regulations prior to last season we wanted to keep the ruleset a bit more stable this time and make fewer alterations.

[justify]It has been a while since a GTR endurance series was held in LFS, but the CityLiga 10 Hours of Westhill International prooved that there is still a lot of interest in endurance racing in the GTR category and in LFS in general. Still, endurance racing is spiced up by a multi-class structure.
The Open Endurance Cup will provide several options to compete for class and/or race wins in four classes: The TBOs, the LRFs, the NGTs and the GTRs.

Since 2008 there was at least one league during summer using the fastest LFS driving aids free car - Formula V8. Unfortunatelly this tradition was ended by organizing body NDR,leaving a gap into LFS racing. In order to not leave this gap empty,Race Green Events steps in and launches new league - V8 Racing League (short - VERL)!

This sunday a new seasons of AB.nl league starts. The opening race is at Kyoto Ring with the NTG cars.

We gratulate the winners of AB.nl S2L season 20 and of course all starting drivers too!

Dear Cityliga participants and LFS community,
Back in October 2005 the first Cityliga season und LFS S2 began. With the completion of last season, we now want to celebrate 20 seasons together with you, our drivers, with the third endurance race in CL history!
As last year, everything is tied together by the number 10, this time with a 10 hour long race on the new Westhill International [WE2] circuit with the GTR and NGTR cars as car classes on June 20th, 2015. We would like to invite all LFS drivers, teams and generally everyone who's been waiting for an endurance race for some time now.

This is a championship in the style of the "Rally Hillclimb" , where drivers get the hell out of one with enough apart so as not to hinder anyone. They will complete a special test (PE ) determined by the organization, which the greatest number of times may be run within 30 minutes. Upon completion of the time allowed , the grid will close and we will wait until all the cars finish competing to start the PE2 .
The winner will be the one less time add between PE1 and PE2 each date.
To avoid accidents, the first largar be the first in the standings and so on.

Martin Kapal (Flame CZE) follwed up his victory in the eighth Kyoto 250 with a win in the third Fern Bay 150. He was able to get past pole sitter Patrick Hall (FalconBridge) early in the race and hold him off to take home the victory. Rony Kronpušs (Eclipsed) brought it home third, two laps behind the bliteringly fast pace of the leaders. In hot persuit of Rony was Bozhidar Velinov (F1 mainiac), who fought the final half of the race to try and catch Rony from a good distance back, but he came up just short of catching him in the end.

This year there is again a special easter-event at absolute-beginners.nl.
Last time there was a Race-of-Champions tourney, this time we want to try out the latest LFS easter egg: The new Westhill Circuit.

Dear Racers,

A new update of Live for Speed is available, with a newly rebuilt and extended version of the Westhill racing environment. The International configuration has been improved and a new National configuration is included, along with two kart tracks which are fun for the smaller cars. The access roads are driveable if you select an open configuration, so there is a lot to explore!

Hello racers,

We thought we'd show you a short preview video of the soon to be released, rebuilt Westhill Circuit racing environment.
The track has changed radically - you'll have a hard time recognising it.
