Tension builds between championship leaders

As the drivers look forward to the third race, it seems that the competition at the top is getting spicy. With the two drivers, Pete and Trespasser separated by just 2 points, both are looking to finish ahead of each other to assert their dominance. [READ MORE. .]

In the year 2019 Race Green Events launches it's 3rd annual series type league besides AWS and VERL. The new league as it's name already says will be focused on rather shorter configurations of race tracks where longest laps will barely exceed 2 kilometers. The car is not 100% locked in this league - it is planned to use a powerful car with classic sports car drivetrain layout (front engine/rear wheel drive) deemed to be best suited from possible options for such racing - currently it is XR GT Turbo (XRT).

Hello Racers,

As many of you know from the forum and Twitter, Eric has been working on Kyoto and Scawen has been working on a new lighting system. In this month's progress report we would like to show you some of the work in progress and talk a bit about the lighting.

First FBM Saturday was a success.

The tension in Westhill was one of a kind, when 19 drivers on the grid waited for green lights. Lap 1 was completed without wrecks: for an open league that's remarkable. 12 drivers managed to complete the 40 minute race.

Hello Racers,

Today we have an update for you with some important fixes and some new features. This is not the graphics update we have been talking about in recent progress reports. This one is fully compatible with the existing public version.

Round 3 with LX4 turned out into an epic thriller. Series leader Nova got serious challengers and showed great sportsmanship while finally won the race. The so far most popular round had 20 cars in the start and 13 of them survived the contest.

See full results including a short video, in the Round 3 results page.

Round 2 with XRT was raced last Sat and it was at least as much fun that first round. We had 19 cars starting the adventure while just 9 of them saw the jacket flag.

Go and watch the video of opening lap in the Round 2 results page.

Last Lap Motorsports (LLM) started the fourth season of the Open Endurance Cup with a pole position and a flag-to-flag victory in Kyoto, as the championship saw the first use of an open configuration with a custom pit lane.
The “North” configuration of the Kyoto Ring uses the track’s infield and the second turn of the oval, with the custom pit lane located between oval turn 3 and the transition to the infield. After trhee seasons with multi-class competition, only GT2 cars were allowed on track for the season opener.

Round 1 was raced last Sat and it was much fun. 17 bold racers in their RB4 cars started the race, 11 survived to the jacket flag. Go and watch the video of opening lap in the Round 1 results page.

Next Saturday 16.2. at UTC 16:00 we dive deep down in the fundamentals of the most popular rear wheel drive car in LFS - the XRT. The track is shorter and faster.

Fragmaster's GTi Thursdays is still running strong.

If you like road cars and Fern Bay, this may be for you!

We will race 4 rounds on custom Fern Bay configurations including all aspects of Fern Bay, and some special stuff like the Karussell curve, Superspeed bridge, and more.

Hello Racers,

For this month's progress report we will show you some images of the updated Westhill track.

Hello Racers,

We have been working on graphics for some time now. A new lighting system allows more varied and realistic surface properties and we have a new shadow system. All tracks must be updated to take advantage of the new features.

We are four weeks away from the start of the fourth installment of the Open Endurance Cup. This time, the league is an exclusive GT2 league with final restrictions still to be announced. Another change after the two year hiatus is the format. A 20-minute qualifiyng session will precede the three hour long races. The series' server is again kindly provided by New Dimension Racing.

Hello Racers,

In the August and September progress reports we talked about the new shadows and lighting system and showed pictures of the updates on the Blackwood and Rockingham tracks. All our tracks must be updated to use the new lighting system and some older tracks need more changes to bring them up to date. Aston is one of them and is the subject of this month's report.

Hello Racers,

In the August progress report we talked about the new shadows and lighting system and showed pictures of the updates on the Blackwood track.

Hello Racers,

We have been working on graphics most of the time since early 2017 and we can now show you some of the results. You will instantly notice the the new detailed shadows and shine on the road surfaces. Looking around, you will start to see that many more surfaces have some sort of shine level.

Hello LFS Racers,

Today we have released a new update. After some disruptive attacks that took place recently we were forced to make our website and multiplayer systems more robust. As an update was needed, we took the opportunity to do a few more improvements, including some extensive changes to the layout editor.
