Hi folks,

It is with great pleasure that I post this topic. We, on LFSBR, were able to make contacts with a regional TV Station (reach of +- 3million ppl - Ulbra TV) and a nationwide magazine.

On the TV program, called "Ulbratech", we talked about the simulator and the brazilian League, with highlights to the "1st Bycon Challenge of Virtual Motorsports", in wic we distributed R$ 1.300,00 in prizemoney.

The story can be seen here. We will soon upload it to youtube, and Ill edit this post with the links.


Here are the links to the magazine scans:

Story

Here is a free translation to the content of the magazine:

Quote :

Brazilian LFS League (LFSBR) is accepting new applications for those interested in participating on the virtual races. According to Luciano Falkowski, LFSBRs vice-president, there are four official competitions every year, with high level drivers participating. Applications should be done on www.liveforspeed.net, where you can acquire a license with an international credit card (around R$90). To be a part of LFSBR, the driver needs to go through a series of theoretical and practical tests (lfsbr.com). In july, it was held a unique event with prize money involved, and Márcio Campos (Campos_MIC) was the winner, driving Fullpower's (magazine) car.

Notes: I gave a 10 minute interview for the reporter on the phone, and she watched the program on Ulbra TV, but still put a lot of wrong data in the note. lol. Some small corrections are that applications should be done at lfsbr.com, and the license of the simulator should be aqcuired at liveforspeed.net.

But well, at least we got it going. =)

We are extremely proud, because this is a new thing in Brazil, and it is really difficult to get "PC Games" to be taken seriously.

We hope that this kind of exposure here in Brazil can help to make out comunity bigger and better!

Sweet. I like how one of the guys says rfactor and GTR suck on live TV.

He didn't actually use the word suck or actually said anything like that. What he said was that he couldn't feel the car in rf/GTR like he can in LFS which is little different. Unless your brazil is better than mine

Good job

Very nice!

Well, we reached our website bandwidth limit (10GB per month). This is awesome, as we never expected to reach that kind of transfer in a month, and well, 10GB is a damn lot of data.

We hope we can have this situation solved by tomorrow at night, and we will post the video (2 parts) on youtube, so the ones who didn't have the opportunity to watch may be able to do it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

LFSBR Staff
