The OWRL MRT Cup 2012/13 has been taken by Xcite C. Winkler. With 6 podium finishes, C.Winkler took the cup using both consistency and speed in a season that remained close until the final round. The Xcite driver took the lead in the second event, after early leader SRT Flip retired from the main race at Aston South after an spectacular crash. Flip had taken an impressive win in the main race at South City Town, starting from 7th on the grid to take the victory with more than 7 seconds to spare after 24 laps in the nimble MRT5.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

New Series Brings LFS Its Biggest Oval League Since LFSCAR

The Realistic NASCAR Cup Series takes the green flag on Sunday, January 6, 2013 with the IndyCar 250. This will be Live For Speed's biggest oval series since LFSCAR finished its 2nd season in 2007.

What starts right after Christmas and promises action packed events right into the new year? Open Wheel Racing League's MRT Cup of course! Beginning 27 december, the annual tradition in the Open Wheel Racing Leagues starts at South City Town using a layout adding a chicane in the final corner. From then one it is on to the open layouts. The second round 29 december takes the drivers to the the short Aston South track before the season finishes the first saturday in 2013 on Fern Bay Classic, incorporating the mini oval in the FE Green layout. The layouts used are available from our downloads sections.

CityLiga 16 has ended. The unanswered question who becomes CityLiga 16 champion was answered off-track prior to the season's finale already. 3id J.Holmes was not able to compete in the final race, so ﾒ C. Winkler was awarded his second championship within three seasons. Congratulations!
Instead of cruising to his overall win, he wanted to celebrate by winning Round 9. So he chased his former teammate CoRe Chris, who trained well enough to be in reach of a race win. After a lead change, initiated by the mandatory pitstops, the two produced a thrilling duel.

The 2013 GT1 World Series, organized by New Dimension Racing, visits Fern Bay Gold this month for the 2nd round of the series. It follows on the heels of a controversial Round 1 at Blackwood Grand Prix, which saw the race shortened to 130 of the scheduled 160 laps due to server failure. Major controversy came around Lap 50 in that race, when a mistake by the administration team led to several cars unjustly being lapped. The race was also marred by several Safety Car Interventions. Genuine Racing (GT1-Pro) took the overall and Pro-class win, and Stig Breeding Program #1 (GT1-Am) took the win in the Amateur Class.

After the first five races of the World TBO Championship Series the championship comes down to the final race of the season. The Short Course 150 will take the green flag at 16:50 GMT on Sunday, December 16, 2012. Following this event, the championship will be awarded to Joe Holmes, Nikifor Dakovic, or Isaac Price. All other drivers have been eliminated from the championship chase.

Battling for the lead on the first lap of the Westhill 207 Championship leaders Nikifor Dakovic and Isaac Price made contact that lost Nikifor multiple positions and time, and caused enough damage to force Isaac Price to pit.

Hello LFS Racers,

We have released a new version of LFS with a much improved multiplayer system. While using the same physics as 0.6B, it provides a much smoother, more reliable and interactive online experience. In previous versions there were often delays and lags on busy servers, but the new one works in a completely different way. We are still working on the new tyre physics and additional content, but had to take some time out from that because some hackers found a way to go online with no user name.

If you follow Formula One - and if you have an interest in simracing, you probably do, to some extend - you may have heard the news of young Finnish prodigy Valtteri Bottas racing for Williams F1 in 2013. Bottas' name might still be obscure to F1 circles, but his reputation is great in the junior racing world, where he has taken many prestigious titles since his car racing career kicked off in 2007.

A more unknown part of Valtteri's recent past is his short lived interest in the Live For Speed simulator.

The winter is comming,in Northern part of Europe it means snow and slippery road conditions.

The Westhill 207 has been moved back by two hours in order to avoid conflict with the F1 Brazilian Grand Prix which was also scheduled to start at 16:00 GMT. Obviously the FIA will not move their race, so we at Realistic NASCAR has moved ours. Qualifying for the Westhill 207 is scheduled to start at 18:00 GMT which should allow all of our competitors and viewers to get their fill of the conclusion of the 2012 Formula 1 season and move on over to sim-racing.tv or Realistic NASCAR Server and join in on the semi-final round of our hotly contested championship.

The FIA GT1 World Championship might be gone, but the Genuine Racing GT1 Challenge returns for its 2nd season of GTR sprint racing with 7 events visiting a number of very diverse tracks over the course of its season. To ensure all cars have an equal chance in the championship the FZR has been performance balanced to be more equal with the other 2 cars available. As in the previous season the league will consist of seven 1 hour long races with a single-file flying start and a mandatory pitstop. There will be a driver's championship and, as promised after the Round 2 of last season, also a team's championship going along with it.

It's the 2st stage the end.

South City 150 Begins Second Half of 2012 Season
November 3, 2012 by Cameron Corns

At the half way point of the World TBO Championship Series's 2012 campaign the points standing are lead by Nikifor Dakovic by 61 points over Isaac Price - who won the Blackwood 200- and 104 over Joe Holmes who missed the Blackwood 200 three weeks ago and lost the points lead in doing so. The series has seen three different winners, from three different race teams in its first three races. Joe Holmes dominated the Kyoto 225 in his number 36, My3id Gaming, XRT.

GenR Feuerdrache has marked himself as the clear favorite to win the S2 Season 21 title after the series reached the halfway point at Westhill International rev. Feuerdrache has won four out of six races so far. He did so by dominating two events and taking the maximum points so far, but was beaten in the second round at Fern Bay Gold where v\Maddee and rgs077 both took a victory. Feuerdrache is clearly ahead in the championship but as the OWRL drops the points of the worst event result, other drivers may still catch up in the standing in the second half of the season.

Round 1
The openings two races were contested with the Formula BMW.

Next weekend we will be starting with our new S2-league season:
Also we will start with a new season of the FZ5-cup. Read all about it at our site!

Last year's Blackwood 200 was such a success last year that we have decided to return the event unchanged in the same place in the schedule. The 2012 Blackwood 200 is round 3 once again, and will take place on Sunday beginning at 16:00 GMT. Last year, a late race pass by Julien Schein on Joe Holmes on the outside in turn 3 was voted as the league race pass of 2011 by members of the LFSforum. Julien Schein would go on to win that race over Holmes by just over a second. This event takes place on the high speed Blackwood GP Track, the most popular track in Live For Speed.

2011 Blackwood 200 Statistics

This Saturday, the highly anticipated Live For Slicks series will finally begin! For those who don't know what this series is about, then let us explain: Live For Slicks is a brainchild by Revolutionary Racing (Kings brothers and Rui Pinto), and it consists in picking up the most exciting yet underrated class - TBO - and adding slick tyres to it, giving the series a closer feel to the Touring Cars of nowadays, providing the same close, high-contact racing but now with the extra grip of racing-purpose slicks!
