Qualifying Result
The all-new Glendale Park circuit played host to Round 7 of Layout Racing League, featuring fast, sweeping countryside and a tighter, twisty town section. Drivers had limited time to get to grips with the track, new racing surface, and also a slipstream where they can get away with it. Championship leader Suforr barely edged out Team Winner's Dod1slaw for pole position, setting a blistering lap time of a 1:55 dead. Newcomer Ibitoskiller put his Skip Barber in 3rd, just ahead of Race Green's M@CI3K.
Unofficial Race result
The race
The grid was clean away with Dodlslaw initially getting ahead of Suforr into Turn 2, before outbraking himself and giving the lead right back to the Born2Race driver. Further back, M@CI3K was getting in the wars with Delgado, swapping paint as they fought in the opening laps.
A high speed spin by Delgado let M@CI3K back through to 4th, with the Race Green man eventually finishing on the podium in 3rd. A couple of mid-race retirements from spins and excursions brought the final finishers down to just 5, with Flyaway improving from 6th to 4th, and Ibitoskiller being the last registered driver across the line.
Up front, it was a tight dual between the two championship protagonists Suforr and Dod1slaw, with the former coming out on top in what was essentially two drivers on the same pace throughout the race. A well-earned victory for the Born2Race driver and another haul of points to his championship tally.
An abnormally low turnout for the race this time out unfortunately, but the battle up at the front proved an interesting one nonetheless!
The grid moves to Round 8, at the famous 9397 Karousel track, crafted by Lucaf, fondly known as 9397. See you then!
Chiming in - yes I have had same issue but nothing so debilitating that it affected overall layout quality. Haven't yet had to drastically amend corner geometry or track width to accomodate as such, so yes indeed as you mention it shouldn't be top priority ; many other more impactful stuff you guys have planned for that we're sitting rubbing our hands waiting with crossed fingers!

Qualifying Result
The familiar environment of Aston circuit played to the strengths of other championship contenders not named Suforr - Team Winner's Dodlslaw grabbed pole position ahead of RP's Tj and the championship leader, Born2Race's Suforr. A notable return to Layout Racing League was Race Green's Rony, who outqualified his team mate Redbot to take 5th. A total of 11 drivers qualified, with 17 taking the grid.
Official Race result
The race
The start was reminiscent of a drag race, with the top 4 jockeying for position to Turn 2 hairpin. Abeam the sector 2 split it was Suforr who grabbed the lead ahead of TJ, after many quick lead changes down the front and back straight. Suforr would be entangled in a lead battle with Tj and subsequently Dodlslaw to the finish, taking 2nd on the line however finishing officially 3rd after penalties.
A few places back, Race Green's Redbot had leapfrogged his team mate Rony after a good start, however great tire management and a clean stint saw Rony take back position. M@CI3K was embroiled in a battle with a few newcomers, such as Bence, Flyaway and Kubzz, all giving him a run for his money. M@CI3K would finish a respectable 6th after avoiding a spin from Sodlier late in the race.
Back at the front, Tj was defending the lead after sneaking by Suforr, unfortunately on Lap 3 a backmarker, MagicDann lost control at the Banana chicane and took Tj out with him - causing damage. Tj would eventually recover to finish 5th, free from penalties; however the pace should have seen him challenge for the win.
A few troubles in the mid pack saw spins by Awsk and Flyaway after contact, taking the former out of the race, while a late race fumble by Suforr saw both leaders spin off, with Dodlslaw able to recover to take the lead and finish there by the end - however relegated to 2nd after penalties for car contact.
As the chequered flag fell, and drivers took to the podium, the official results for the action packed race saw Race Green's Rony take his first race win in Layout Racing League after a quiet but focused drive. Dodlslaw and Suforr had to settle for 2nd and 3rd after their paint-rubbing out front, with Redbot in 4th ahead of Tj. Newcomer driver Bence took 7th ahead of Flyaway, Soldier and Kubzz, rounding out the top 10.
Layout Racing League heads to the equally fast-paced Glendane Park on 26 April 2025 for Round 7! Stay tuned for the race report for that event!

The grid face the unforgiving streets of the principality, Monaco! Just like the real thing, walls are close, passing opportunities are sparse and the racing is guaranteed to be tight and exciting.
Qualifying Result
Monaco is no easy track even for the most-experienced drivers out there, and qualifying proved exactly so, with everyone struggling to get into rhythm. Free practice session prior to the event simulated a potential fastest lap of a high 1:17 - actual pole was taken by B2r's Suforr, with a traffic-compromised low 1:18. Airattack's Sean lined up in 2nd behind, followed by Suforr's teammate, Twincam, who himself had zero preparation; making his lap time a standout. Two Winner's cars lined up 4th and 5th with SG's Madjester 6th, and S1DUS's GaBoR doing the single push lap to take 7th. Total of 23 drivers attempted qualifying, with 20 taking the start.
Provisional Race result
The race
-------RACE REPLAY: -------- >>>> Replay
The race was actioned packed from the start to finish. The drivers were surprisingly clean and alert through the first turn on the opening lap, however contact at the top of the hill between Winner's Kyr1l and S1DUS's GaBoR saw both tangled together and having to let the field by - both drivers would fight back up through the field, with kyr1l finishing P6.
On the other hand, GaBoR, the S1DUS front man later suffered an unfortunate tangle (or two) with Race Green's NOSLE - the latter suffering from a desync from the server and amazingly was unable to see any other car. GaBoR who received car damage and pitting for repairs, later put on a specular overtaking spree, the fastest lap in his charge and finishing a respectable P5.
JavierAR also tangled into the Hotel hairpin, dropping into the mid-pack where he remained to the end. Meanwhile, up front, Suforr's initial two second lead slowly erased to nothing, as Airattack's Sean left Twincam behind in pursuit of the win. Further behind, Winner's Eroup, BlazeHun and Haiyaa all succumbed to the walls of Monaco, followed by dod1slaw whom, after several spins and contact, chose to also park his car and call it a day, ironically retiring in P15, with 1 point to his name.
A new entrant, Robert Bozso, was running a superb 5th after all the chaos, however his consistent pace was no match for the front runners, with hard chargers such as GaBoR, kyr1l and Andrulis relegating the Hungarian to an eventual P9, a fair result given the tough circuit condition. B2r's Rayman was unable to put up a challenge at the front,eventually taking P10, ahead of Javier, and the buggy NOSLE. Race Green's RedBoT took P13 behind his team mate after getting overtaken in the latter stages, with Team Red's Flyaway57 the last of the rolling finishers in P14.
Other standout battles included Andrulis with Race Green's M@ci3K, both tussling it out late in the race for 7th, with the former sending it down into the Nouvelle chicane and making it stick.
The lead was a tightly-contested tug of war between polesitter Suforr and 2nd placed man Sean, with the latter taking an early undercut to attempt to use his pace to take the lead through the pit stop, however 3rd-placed Twincam proved an excellent aide to his team mate, holding the Singaporean behind just enough for his team mate to remerge back in the front after his own pit stop.
Unlike Andrulis, after many failed passing attempts and ultra-clever defensive moves later from the pair saw Suforr take a well-deserved and well-fought race victory, with Sean settling for P2, and Twincam taking an unexpected podium in P3. Madjester held off the charging GaBoR to take P4, with Kyr1l finishing in the top 5, almost an entire lap behind the leader, and last of on the lead lap.

Layout Racing League is around 11am for American timing, might work for you too.
The other more popular leagues should fall around 5pm your time, shouldn't be an issue either. e.g FM GTi, RTFR, WRC RALLY, EGM masters

It is a welcome return to the famous Scawen's Racetrack circuit, as Layout Racing League heads to the forth round of the exciting 2025 calendar!
Qualifying Result
The newly re-teamed Suforr, now driving for Born2Race, nabbed pole position by 4 tenths, ahead of the pair of Winner's drivers dod1slaw and kyr1l. Race Green fielded four drivers, with the pair Mandula and NOSLE coming in 4th and 5th respectively. SRP Master, YES Motorsport's Sobis and B2r Twincam put in good efforts in the twisty track to get into the top 10. A close qualifying for the midfield set the stage for an exciting race!
Provisional Race result
The race
RACE REPLAY: Replay
21 race-focused drivers took to the green for the race, with Suforr initially losing the lead to an extremely fast staring kyr1l. Kyr1l would lose the lead 3 laps later, and subsequently spectacularly crash out of a podium place, at the tunnel entry. Further back, a classic Lap 1 Turn 1 chaos saw SRP Master tangled with Twincam, putting both drivers down the pack, although both managed to recover to decent positions, both finishing higher than when they started.
Newcomer Owen too spun out after contact at the start, although continued on to a P13 finish. Returning driver GT4tube stalled at the start and retired soon after, as did another new driver, Cing.
The race was a test of focus and patience, with plenty of drivers stuck behind others, forming long trains. Pit strategy came to play, with some choosing to stay out such as AirAttack's Sean, while others chose to pit at different times to get into clear air, such as Sobis, and Mandula - the latter having a race full of ups and downs, still finishing P3, testimony to his pace.
There were battles up and down the field, from front to back. nickmusi, Jam616 and Javier were in close proximity for most of the race, giving a real show. Unfortunately in contrast of fortune, Winner's Rubi suffered hardware issues and retired with 7 laps to go, however it was nothing compared to YES's Sobis, who, after his brilliant strategy putting him in the top 5, ran out of fuel on the line, dropping down to P10.
However it was no stopping the race-winning machine, now in his new home of B2r, Suforr took a commanding victory ahead of dod1slaw, with Mandula coming P3 even after two spins mid race. His teammate NOSLE was close behind in P4, followed by brilliant drivers by Twincam, Sean and M@ci3k in P7. Race Green's Redbot tailed his teammate in P8, with Master in P9, and the gas-guzzling Sobis rounding out the top 10. Winner's Rubi capped of the final points position!
Layout Racing League returns on 22 March 2025 for Round 5 – 5th Running of Mini Monaco GP! This is one race you will certainly not want to miss!

Have the same issue, but not as frequent. Occurs at the most random time, although doesn't affect game crashing - just all cars disappear or all incoming data e.g veh position or chat pauses.

Damn... that was the answer I knew was going to come up, but didn't want to believe because perhaps the truth sucks
Is it an client (user) thing, LFS host issue, or just us being far-away countries that cause these issues? Because neither of our countries have poor networking infrastructure or capability. That's the only bit I'm frustrated with, why with all the tech we have that stuff like this still happens.
Is there a fix? Something that either we or dev team can implement? Or is it something that is just part and parcel of how packets/network works

Regional dl as always on by default, never turned off.
As of right now, it loads the mods fine as intended, half a second per mod as someone suggested. But also, LFS.net site has no latency issues.
I noticed when LFS website is slow, the issue arises in the game when retrieving the mod data. The website's mod list is also slow to load, affecting the game directly...
