The endurance-league "Masters of Endurance" starts the new year with the legendary 24h-race. For the fourth time in this season, the participating teams try to demonstrate their teamwork in this huge race-league. A total of 26 teams in two classes (GT1 and GT2 with air restrictors) will ascertain the winner on the Aston Grand Prix track . The track, with a distance of 8. 8 km the longest in LFS, is known for its hilly sections and long straights.
The Aston GP event brings up a huge challenge for all teams
In the past, the winner of the 24h challenge always won the season in the end. In 2005 the team of n!faculty won the race and championship. One year later Cyber Racing copied this happy omen for their victory. In season III the team of Mercury Racing seems to have the best precondition for the periodic repetition of the 24h win. The greatest opponent of them are SK Gaming and #low-racing. SK-Gaming, the former team of ocrana, wants to break the habit of no wins in the past with their first race-victory in the MoE. The German team of #low-racing, likely under the flag of ID-Gaming, returned back to their roots in November and caught up to the top. With one victory in the bag they aim for winning the big one and get closer to the top. The last year' s champions from Cyber Racing seem unlucky in this season. Being ranked fifth so far, they will try to turn the luck [cut]. With doubled points for the race, this should be a great chance to regain positions to defend their title [cut].
New GT2-Class celebrates first 24h-event
The inaugural of the GT2-Class in the MoE was a milestone to stepping forward in the existing multi-class format of endurance leagues. The new GT2 was founded with some limitations on the basis of the GTR-Class where all cars get an air restriction up to 25%. Only the FZR was balanced due to the master server balancing with only 20% restriction. After three races the team of CoRe.Racing shows impressive stability and leads the ranking with two victorys and one second place. Close behind them the second team of the GT1-class-leader Mercury Racing shows up with two second places and one victory. Almost certainly , both teams will fight for the win but two teams are lurking for a chance to get big points. Triple 7 Racing and TEAMSPORT-ONLINE who complete the top four in the GT2 want to break through the domination of Mercury and CoRe. After the last race, Triple 7 Racing wants to close up to the top spots. TEAMSPORT-ONLINE kept up their good teamwork with clean statistics and without any penalties or disconnects on their account.
