After the end of the last practice race teams begin with the last preparations for one of the highlights of the LFS-community, the 24h on Kyoto Grand Prix.
The test race did well to show even to "prophets of doom" that LFS is still alive: The grid was nicely filled, in fact it was full. Sadly that meant not everybody who arrived late was able to get a starting spot. Still listening to 32 N-GTR cars revving their engines on the starting line gives a nice feeling and causes goose-bumps even in the replay. The race itself, this year with only one car class, will surely pack a punch.

AB.nl Season 19 has ended but there is no winner. How comes?
Somehow over the winter holidays there was no time to update the points standings.

With rapid strides the '24hours Kyoto Grand Prix' are approaching. But first we shall take a look back:
Of course we want to appreciate the close racing in the previous race on Aston North and pay homage to the efforts of the winners.
In a really great duel the team 'Absolute Beginners Racing' came out as the winners in a race that had been open almost to the end. For eleven hours the '[WCL] World Clas Lions' had been able to hold on.

As 2014 is counting away we look forward to have a lot of nice races in 2015.

We have some dominance in the championship but that does not mean they are unbeatable !!

Season 12 stops for a few weeks so the youngest drivers can concentrate on there studies before the Winter holidays start.

And for us older bones, we can drink and eat all we can without worrying about driving drunk behind the wheel
So just like the Summer events .we have again the Winter Events.

So we had another race on the Fernbay track .

This time the XRT was the car we were trying to hold onto the track.
and be fast at the same time.

The ultimate competition of handling and precision.
A series of five weekly tests, to be driven with two cars.

CILFS 2015 - Race 1 25/11/2014, live streaming tonight at 20:30 CET (LINK LIVE HERE) (LINK REC HERE):

Two weeks ago we had the 4th race.With the FXO on the Fern Bay track.

We knew already that the J.Katila was fast but it seems nothing can't stop his fast way of driving.
Also this time, speed was his second nature as he dominated this race once more.

Dear Racers,

The third race of this season was held on the same track with the tricky front wheel drive FXO.
[WCL] J.Katila comfirmed another pole position with an impressive time of 0:51:67.
The session brought no incident except for a redundant connexion issue for Ernest and the come back of bruised SLO-Knukles. Welcome back !

After a long time without any F1 series in Live for Speed, we decided to finally bring back the breathtaking BMW Sauber F1.06 car. With its 720bhp at a dry weight of only 530kg it offers a superb power-to-weight ratio. Combined with plenty of downforce it is by far the best performing car of Live for Speed and will be the ultimate challenge once again!

The series will be launched on 23rd of November and features six rounds covering the most famous locations of Aston, Kyoto, South City, Fern Bay and Westhill. Since tracks like AS5, KY2 or FE4 have been done many times in the past we chose a couple of open-configuration tracks instead.

CILFS 2015 - Test Race:

Last race we were back on Sout City again with the XFG.
We have had some nice fights..

We also had some guys crossing the pit exit lines.Collecting 20 second penalty again..

Dear Racers,

for the fifth time we start the Desire of Patience Tour with a 12 hour race and end up with the 24 hours race in January 2015.

The 11th edition of the Italian Cup 2015 Live For Speed (CILFS2015) will start the day 04/11/2014 (test race) and race entries for this great cup are already open.

Last Sunday saw the first race of our new season 12, based this year on touring cars only, with the nibble XFG front wheel car on the twisty track of Aston Cadet as the hors d'oeuvre. We were glad to welcome some of our regular contestants but also a couple of new comers who made this race very competitive. We also took the opportunity to welcome Salatoimic as our new working admin, following the health issues that Slo-Scatter had to face this summer. We send to Slo-Scatter all our wishes for a fast and complete recovery.

The 19th season of the Absolute Beginners Racing League begins THIS SUNDAY!

The frontwheel driven NTG cars will bounce around the bumpy South City Long reversed track for 26 laps.
The announcement comes a bit late, but it is still possible to join and drivers of all skills are invited.

Dear Racers,

You can now download a new update of Live for Speed with graphical improvements and support for the Oculus Rift DK2.

OVERVIEW.

After a year's break the New Endurance Challenge returns for another season with plenty of improvements being made since it last ran in July last year. It might not be as new as it once was, but there is more endurance and maybe even a bit more challenge! There are only four races instead of five and they're spread over 3 months, but apart from the last round all races have been significantly increased in length, with the longest race being eight hours long!
Based on the feedback and impressions we got, we simplified some things.

Dear LFS community,

the summer break is over, the winter term is about to start! Eight race mondays with different combos, among others one that is voted by the drivers, are on the CL19 program. As usual the new season will feature multiple parallel servers, which are looked after by the race admins, so that every participant can compete with similar leveled competitors.
