Even by winning the second race, SpeedCore.GTR_PT trails Paddi in the standings by 49 points, almost a race win. Speedcore's young talent gapped Xcite | Fireball in the standings with his victory.

Third stage is unique in that it will be a record number of laps (36)The track is very well known to our players in the tournament Guess which one it is? Yes. It’s "Blackwood Grand Prix track (BL1)Some interesting information about track and the car. I would like to say that the track length is 3.8 km, and the world record on this track with FBM belongs Bawbag and he is 1:12:08.

Unlike other series, this series will not utilize only one car. The series is designed to resemble an LFS open wheel racer’s “career” from newbie to veteran with races starting in the go-cart like, MRT and progressing up through all the open wheel cars with events in each car. There will be 2 events in each class, 2 MRT, 2 FBM, 2 FOX, 2 FO8, and finishing with 2 in the ultimate super car, the BF1.

We here at New Dimension Racing want to be the first to wish everybody in the LFS Community a very Merry Christmas. And so, we’re holding a Xmas Endurance Event on Friday 19th December. It’s 2 hours long, dual-class around the historic Blackwood Grand Prix Track. We’d like as many people to team up as possible forming 2-man teams. It’s ok though if you want to stay as a 1-man team, but you’ll still have to make a mandatory pit stop.

Information about the event is detailed below:

With a 15 point gap, and the tight streets of South City, Sonicrealms Racing (SR) had a chance to get the necessary points on Formula Racing Organization (FRO) to get the title. At the start, everyone made it safely through the narrow, bumpy run to turn 2 and through turn 2 safely, much to the surprise of all involved.

Yesterday the 3rd round of the austrian championship took place and Kurtz extended his lead in the championship with the second win this season.

FiredUp won the Div A race yesterday and has one hand on the championship trophy. With 21 points ahead of H. Vuorinen, all FiredUp needs to do is finish the final race in the top nine to clinch his first Div A title. He was not handed the Blackwood GP rev win yesterday. After Junkan only had to concede pole by 1/100ths, in the race it was H. Vuorinen who took the lead by strategy. FiredUp closed back in on his rival in the final 10 laps and after a perfectly executed pass he took the lead with only two laps ago. If FiredUp makes no mistake in the final race, the main fight will be for position 2 in the championship.
