Norwegian Fredrik Enersen from the 'CoRe Racing' team made his mark here, at the Jamaican circuit of Fern Bay, this past weekend as he and Belgian Alex Laudens outpaced Championship contenders Nolan Scott and Rudy van Buren to close the gap on the two front-runners. Enersen looked stong right from the off, whilst Laudens finished strongly late in the afteroons races to score valuable point in the race for the 2009 iTCC Championship title.

First BC league race went well but with some small issues as always. There were lots of good racers from Baltic States and STD at Fern Bay Gold was fun indeed. Those are not the fastest cars, but there was great racing and battling between the racers for sure. Race started with grid of 27 fastest Baltic drivers that qualified for the race in top10 from each country. It was 1 hour long race, and once the people had calculated the approximate laps, they filled their cars with the fuel and were ready to go.

We're almost there!! The first official LFS championship organized by ESL Italy is coming. Coppa Italia 2009 will start on 03 March. Sign up are opened to italian drivers only. The championship will be 6 races long and will follow the real GP2 championship:

The 2009 iTCC Touring Car Championship season continues this weekend, moving to Fern Bay in it's 'Gold Reversed' configuration for Round 2 of the Championship, on Sunday 8th February 2009. The meeting is again scheduled for 3 x 25 minute races with a reversed grid for the third race - a battle royale is anticipated with so many drivers filling the grid at this sinuously twisting Jamaican circuit.

The event will again be covered in the iTCC broadcast starting from 1800 GMT (UTC), with the commentating team led by Jonathan Palmer from the New Dimension Racing team.

UPDATE: Tracker link added

Do you want to drive in Div A, but haven't been able to crack through the ranks just yet? This might be your get-in-Div-A card! As the new season approaches, some places on the 24-driver grid are still free. And we are going to fill them by giving the spots to the drivers who can post the fastest hotlap at Aston North. This track features the second race of our upcoming season and a driver has to be able to find the balance of his Formula V8 in the slow and fast corners to get to a quick time.

LFSCART, a mixture of road and oval courses in a single seater league, heads to its second season. 10 season stops on all LFS venues (except Autocross) including 3 stops in the Oval (twice anti-clockwise, one clockwise) over different distances will guarantee some decent racing and at the end of the season a great champion. It will be the first season to be ran fully under New Dimension Racing administration. Sign-Ups are officially opened from today, Sunday February 1st. Signing up as individual entry or for established teams also a form of team entry are possible.

The LFS Pro Series line-up for Season 1 has been decided and we're pleased to announce that line-up (click read full story for line-up)

There are no longer any places available in the starting line-up, teams & individual drivers can still sign-up for the series, and as usual suitable applications will be accepted, however with a pretty full reserve list we'll have to be fussy. Accepted racers are asked to ensure they are registered and can log into the site, without this they wont be able to participate in the series.

The OWRL, the league dedicated to bring the best open wheel racing in LFS, continues to evolve its schedule as we now prepare for this year's seasons. First to start is our 14th season using our famed division system, in which Div A will race Formula V8 and Div B will alternate between the Formula XR and the Formula BMW. It will start in February. Next up is the 2009 running of our OWRL F1 Series. The season will start in April, but the first of the test events already have been held.

With a total time of 06m15s67' (stage 1: 03m14s12' and stage 2: 03m01s65') Klouczech (Czech Republic) KXR team achieved the victory in the 1st date ahead by 0m04s84' to Pablito (Uruguay) team SAT and for 0m06s13' to C.Lefrançois (Canada) who completed the podium.

The first stage had been in the hands of C. Lefrançois, second was Pablito and located very close Klouczech with 03m13s62', 03m14s03' and 03m14s12' respectively.

This Saturday the 24th of January, the legendary Masters of Endurance 24 Hours of Aston Grand Prix will get underway. Since 2005 this race has been the highlight of the series and a highly anticipated tradition for the Live for Speed community in general.

Championship points are doubled for this race, which means that at this point the championships in both the GT1 and GT2 classes are far from decided. In GT1 F1RST Racing GT1 is leads with #low Racing and Spdo Racing GT1 close behind, while the SK Gaming, n1Racing (new to the series and performing very well), and Mercury Racing trail a little behind.

Race About at Aston Club Reverse was a great car and track combination that proved to be extremely tricky. Through-out practice it was obvious some people had a handle on the beast, which could be under-steering in one moment and over-steering the next. It was shocking that I, (Tim Beaudet), would be eliminated after qualifying not even making the event, by only a tenth of a second. From that point on it was an intense event with some finishes closer than the precise timers used to track the cars.

American Nolan Scott from the CoRe racing team was the man of form last weekend as he opened his account in the iTCC Touring Car ChampionshipHaving qualified through with the fastest time from the Reserve Shootout, Scott then repeated his pace in qualifying for Race 1 with a time of 1:37.xx that was simply too hot for the rest of the field to handle.

Following Scott onto the front of the grid was his Head-to-Head rival from the previous day, Rudy van Buren from the Netherlands. Van Buren struggled to find clear track space in qualifying, but eventually was able to put in 1:38.xx to complete the front row.

NDR are pleased to announce that Sign ups for the 2009 edition of the Kyoto 250, 'The Great LFS Race', are now open. The race will take place on the 7th March this year.

We have entry requirements to try and prevent a repeat of last year's n00b fest:

HL Racing and Automovilismo Virtual with the support of RedBull Mexico present HL Rally Layouts 2nd. Edition

After warm-up session the racers hoped back in their cars for two amazing qualifying sessions. The pressure was intense, only 1 lap to make your time, and your time had to count. 30 people attempting to qualify into only 16 positions. As it turned out the top sixteen were close to being within 2 seconds of each other. Not quite as close as expected but with only one lap to perform your best, its a lot to ask from the average racer. Not Nolan Scott, who steals pole by 0.03 seconds over David Williams.

Round 1, Round 2 and Semi-finals were all protocol for the two finalists: Nolan Scott (BigTime) from Core Racing and Rudy van Buren from F1RST Racing.

The signup for the first UER Touring Car Masters is open. The UTCM is a classic championship with 10 events with a length of 2 hours. Planned is a grid with 28 drivers. The races are intended for the GTR class of LFS.

To slow down the dominating FZR a little bit we have decided to allocate it with a extra weight of 20 kilogramms. Aditionally there will be two pit stops and you have to change your tires two times a race. The events take place at sunday in a rythm of two weeks, the first race is on Sunday the 2009-02-22. We hope for many participations.

The 2009 iTCC Touring Car Championship begins at Westhill International circuit this weekend, on Sunday 11th January 2009. The meeting is scheduled for 3 x 25 minute races with a reversed grid for the third race which should ensure an exciting finale to the day's racing!

The event will be covered in the iTCC broadcast starting from 1800 GMT (UTC), with the commentating team led by Jonathan Palmer from the New Dimension Racing team. You can catch the broadcast at http://www.iconracing.co.uk/itcctv.htm or at http://www.mogulus.com/itcc from 1800 GMT (UTC).

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.

Paddi laid the basis of his first MRT Cup win by dominating qualifying and Race 1 at all three events.

The My3id FZR-GT2 driven by Niall McEvoy and Martijn Bont, and the TDRT FXO driven by Simon Mathei won their respective classes at the NDR Xmas Event 2008.

The race enjoyed a clean start, with everyone getting through T1 with minimal contact. Already at this point, My3id were pulling away from the battling K.O Racing and FRO FZRs. Seidler in the [noobs] RB4 took advantage of the 4WD's superb traction to take an early lead in the TBO class.
