The Great LFS Race returns for its 6th annual occurrence on 30 March 2013!

The 6th Annual Kyoto 250 is approaching. Dubbed "The Great LFS Race" and styled after NASCAR's Daytona 500, this year's 250 is coming along nicely in the preparations. Signups opened on March 15th, and will remain open until Saturday, March 23rd at 20:00 UTC. So far, 50 drivers have signed up, and a little over a dozen have met all entry requirements and been approved to attempt to participate in the Kyoto 250.

It is an event on the Kyoto Oval (KY1), and since 2008, has taken place on the final Saturday in March.

Just after the end of Grid Qualification and before the first race, it is time for our short look at the favorites of the new CityLiga season. Especially well-known faces are present again and this facts reheats some everlasting duells. Again many great drivers sigend up and one can say this is the International German Championship of Live for Speed, especially since the season again features the best Germans and the one or the other top driver from the rest of Europe.
The following text lists drivers, who, in the eyes of the author, can win the championship or at least fight for it,

Before everyone starts (to continue) their preperations for the kick-off of the new season, we have some more things to say. About 24h after the end of the Grid Qualifications we find the results of it here: http://cityliga.de/uploads/cl17/cl17_grideinteilung.html.
CityLiga 17 will start with three grids of 28 drivers each, sothat 9 of the 93 sign-ups have to start their season from the waiting list.
The field is relatively close after this first show-off (3s instead of 3,5s in CL16's Grid 1) and the first race starts directly at one of the GQ combos.

Just past the half way mark of CityLiga 17's Grid Qualification, one might notice that the 72 sign-ups differ over the prevailing opinion "LfS is dead"There is still plenty of room for more interested drivers, who want to compete every monday fortnight with like-minded, fellow racers.
The participents are as diversified as always. 11 nations and 23 teams are represented by CL-/LfS-veterans and fortunately also rookies, who average at 30 years of age. While the ones probably can't live without it, the others tackle their first adventures of organised league racing.

A new season is started for an institution of the german LFS-scene. The CityLiga is opening their gates for the 17th time. Every driver, beginner or veteran, is invited to participate on mondays every fortnight. We offer one of the biggest starting fields in LFS, three grids in the last seasons. This enables you to find opponents at exactly your skill-level for exciting races.
Altough CityLiga's main focus is still the german LFS community, we opened for international drivers seasons before and became bilingual in german and english.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Dear Reacers,

CityLiga 16 has ended. The unanswered question who becomes CityLiga 16 champion was answered off-track prior to the season's finale already. 3id J.Holmes was not able to compete in the final race, so ﾒ C. Winkler was awarded his second championship within three seasons. Congratulations!
Instead of cruising to his overall win, he wanted to celebrate by winning Round 9. So he chased his former teammate CoRe Chris, who trained well enough to be in reach of a race win. After a lead change, initiated by the mandatory pitstops, the two produced a thrilling duel.

Hello racers,

There is a new feature on LFS World, which is the Encounters tab in the Racers & Hosts online window.
It will list all the people you have met online the past 90 days (although recording started 5 days ago at the time of writing, so much more data is still to be collected).
