I have just been looking over some old news articles on LFS and decided to have another look at the Rockingham announcement.
I forgot that one of the reasons behind permission to use Rockingham in S3 was because of the V1 Championship

Now I hadn't looked at the V1 Championship site for a while so followed the link and was surprised to see that they are launching a similar thing for touring cars, more specifically the Renault Clio Cup. The specs of the upcoming touring cars demo software is the same as for the FBM demo software which was a bespoke version of LFS wasn't it?

I assume Scawen and probably Eric and Victor have been working on this for V1, I wonder if that means that S3 could feature the Clio.

Just thought I'd share this find

Think the V1 Championship is making it's own sim now. Pretty sure there was a thread about it a while back.

As a Clio nut. i would love to see that in lfs. but i cant see it happening

PS: Just signed up, verified my email, Booom login failed password is incorrect... erm no.

Yup.

Quote from SamH :

The sim, in case you haven't figured it out by now, is not LFS this time around.

Ah bugger, thought that it was a sign of what Scavier have been working on amongst other things. Wishful thinking.

well i just installed their sim and after 15 seconds ive come straight off. my pc can handle lfs with high ish settings at around 60 fps. this on the lowest settings was no where near 15fps... Good luck on getting people with low budgets to enter.

Well,checked website and found this:

Well, there's your problem.
8200M is 10 times slower than 7800GTX (if not more).

Edit:
Nvm.

Quick note, guys.. pre-registration for the Renault Clio Cup is a different registration from V1 Championship registration so if you pre-register, your Clio login won't work on the V1 Championship login page.

Once the Renault Clio Cup site is complete (it's in development at the moment), your pre-registration login details will work on that site.

Sorry for any confusion.. we wanted people to be able to securely register their interest this weekend (BTCC at Rockingham) but our SSL for the Clio Cup site didn't arrive in time, so we moved the registration process to the main V1 Championship site.
