Dear Racers,

for the fifth time we start the Desire of Patience Tour with a 12 hour race and end up with the 24 hours race in January 2015.

The 11th edition of the Italian Cup 2015 Live For Speed (CILFS2015) will start the day 04/11/2014 (test race) and race entries for this great cup are already open.

Last Sunday saw the first race of our new season 12, based this year on touring cars only, with the nibble XFG front wheel car on the twisty track of Aston Cadet as the hors d'oeuvre. We were glad to welcome some of our regular contestants but also a couple of new comers who made this race very competitive. We also took the opportunity to welcome Salatoimic as our new working admin, following the health issues that Slo-Scatter had to face this summer. We send to Slo-Scatter all our wishes for a fast and complete recovery.

The 19th season of the Absolute Beginners Racing League begins THIS SUNDAY!

The frontwheel driven NTG cars will bounce around the bumpy South City Long reversed track for 26 laps.
The announcement comes a bit late, but it is still possible to join and drivers of all skills are invited.

Dear Racers,

You can now download a new update of Live for Speed with graphical improvements and support for the Oculus Rift DK2.

OVERVIEW.

After a year's break the New Endurance Challenge returns for another season with plenty of improvements being made since it last ran in July last year. It might not be as new as it once was, but there is more endurance and maybe even a bit more challenge! There are only four races instead of five and they're spread over 3 months, but apart from the last round all races have been significantly increased in length, with the longest race being eight hours long!
Based on the feedback and impressions we got, we simplified some things.

Dear LFS community,

the summer break is over, the winter term is about to start! Eight race mondays with different combos, among others one that is voted by the drivers, are on the CL19 program. As usual the new season will feature multiple parallel servers, which are looked after by the race admins, so that every participant can compete with similar leveled competitors.

Championships held in 6 stages with Formula XR (FOX).
Beginning September 28.

If it is still Summer but it feels already like autumn .Then you know the start of the new season isn't far of !!

So we are proud to announce the 12th season of the international Liveforspeed.be league !!!

Dear LFS Racers,

We have developed a first version of support for the new Oculus Rift DK2. Although it's not finished, people have been enjoying it a lot.

The LFSCART Series returns for its seventh season in Live for Speed. The series intends to bring out the best racers in the Formula V8 (FO8) together in a challenging test of man and machine. Originally created my Thilo "TFalke55" Falkenberg in 2008, New Dimension Racing (NDR) welcomed Thilo into their ranks to give him the administrative support he needed at the time. The series quickly grew into the elite tier for single-seater action in NDR, with several awesome battles throughout its history.

For 2014, the series will start off on August 17th for the first time on the Blackwood Grand Prix Reversed circuit.

The Live For Speed Grand Prix is bound to be Live For Speed's greatest individual driver challenge. The unforgiving blind corners on the South City Town Course (SO5) coupled with the unmatched speed of the BMW Sauber F1 (BF1) will challenge drivers enough, but drivers will also need to be conscientious of their tyre wear and fuel strategy in order to win this race.

Qualifications for the Live For Speed Grand Prix will take place on Sunday, 27 July 2014 starting at 18:30 GMT.

Summer time .So..back to the open Summer Races !!!

Everybody is welcome, short fun and clean races but no Safety car.

Championships held on a single circuit (Kyoto Ring), and a different car in each step.

OVERVIEW.

Top class GT racing returns as the Genuine Racing GT1 Challenge is back! The series was cancelled originally at the end of last year, but will now run again in a proper sprint format. It will now be the GT1 equivalent of GT Masters, using the exactly same format: 24 hours of pre-qualifying from Friday evening to Saturday evening, followed by the main event consisting of a 20 minute long qualifying session and a roughly 75 minute long race.

Dear LFS community, dear CityLiga participants,

four months ago our new CityLiga.de and CityLiga 18 opened their gates. With the end of our eighteenth S2 season, we want to celebrate our tenth anniversary together with you. What would be more appropriate for a racing series other than organising a racing event. Therefore we invite you to CityLiga 10³, starting on 26th July 2014 at 12:00 UTC. It is a 1000km race at Aston North rev. (AS7r), 200 laps with the TBO and GTI classes. The race is open for every age, experience and skill level and everyone interested in fair virtual Motorsport.

LX4 Track Day will take place on 5 July 2014 starting at 16:30 GMT. We will run one 10 lap race followed by one 25 lap race with inverted starting grid (top 10 only if more than 10 attend) on the Aston Cadet Circuit in the LX4. Qualifying will be begin at 16:30 and last 25 minutes. This will be followed by the first race at or around 17:00 GMT. The second race will follow the first after a 5 minute break.

No points, just racing fun. Got some free time? Come out and join us.

Hello all!

It's time for the Seventh Annual Kyoto 500! The 268 lap trial of endurance and luck, patience and skill takes place on a forecasted clear day with some wind at the Kyoto Ring's Oval layout. It emulates the Indianapolis 500, including a three-wide start, the only one (that we know of) in LFS. It usually makes the hairs on one's neck stand on end, and raises the stress level of the racers.

Summer time .So..back to the open Summer Races !!!

Everybody is welcome, short fun and clean races but no Safety car.

Dear LFS Racers,

Today we release a new update of Live for Speed with 3D support and announce another version that is coming soon with a much improved Westhill track.

Racers!

The Seventh Annual Kyoto 500 will be held on Saturday, June 28th, 2014. This is the latest we've ever started this, but a mix of lack of motivation and waiting on when I'd start full time hours affected this starting.

[size=2]Beginning June 15.
Sunday at 21h (GMT -03:00)

OVERVIEW.

Genuine Racing's GTi Trophy returns! After the very successful inaugural season in the autumn of last year, we're happy to announce the comeback of what already then was a very popular series. The format will be similar to that seen last year, with the event being split over three days, pre-qualifying on the first two and the main event including qualifying and the race(s) on the third. What has changed though is the amount of track time: For the main event, qualifying has been reduced from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, with the race distance has been extended to about 60 minutes for each event.

Racers!

The Seventh Annual Kyoto 250 will be held on Sunday, March 30th, 2014. As most will recall, it's usually been held on the last Saturday in March, but Genuine Racing have GT Masters on the final Sunday before the final Saturday which would have been the typical qualifying day. This year, the qualifying day activities will take place on the day prior to the Kyoto 250.
