Fellow racers,

Today is the day we will annonce the track configuration used on October 17th in the 2009 edition of the most popular non-league based endurance event in Live for Speed. Last years race on Kyoto GP long led more than 340 players from 42 different countries, who organised themselves in more than 100 teams into some furious overnight racing action, and after 16 hours of pure racing the top 3 were split by just 30 seconds.

I am proud to announce the launch of the 46the46 is a new network that will, amongst other things, broadcast live LFS races of various series. Stay tuned for many projects to be announced over the course of the next months.

Round 4 Summary
Last Thursday LFS Pro Series headed to Kyoto National for Round 4 of the season. It was Pole sitter D.Williams who picked up the most points from the round and continued his challenge for the drivers title, and despite a small mistake into T1 for the sprint race, the My3ID driver took 3rd and 1st in race 2, picking up an impressive 46pts from the round.

GT1
It seems that for a second year in a row we can prepare ourselves for an epic championship battle in the GT1 class. With only 1 point difference between #low racing and F1RST Racing GT1, the question of which team will crown themselves Masters of Endurance GT1 Champions for the 2008/2009 Season is far from decided. With Mercury Racing lurking just a few points back, both teams know that they cannot afford any mistakes.

You can now watch and download short (~5min) videos of the action which has taken place of the recent LFS Pro Series rounds, currently only rounds 1 & 2 are available, with round 3 hopefully up for Thursday just in time for round 4 kicking off.
In future we expect to have the videos available within the week to begin with, and hopefully a little quicker once a rhythm is formed as these are my first attempts at video creation/editing. We'll also include a link to the video in future round reports once the vids are available.

The video area can be found here: http://www.lfsproseries.net/downloads/video.php.

Round 3 Summary
For round 3 we've headed to Fern Bay Gold with the racers favourite, the LX4. After both races, it was My3ID driver D.Williams who picked up the most points with an advantageous 2nd place in the sprint race, and a well earned victory in the feature race. Series leader J.Scheuerle received similar results, with the race 1 victory and a hard fought race for 2nd ahead of My3ID driver H.Luis in race 2.

The Supercar 500 Challenge is a new series with a unique format. Run semi-annually, the series meetings include qualifying, sprint, and feature sessions. The winning team of a race meeting has the opportunity to defend their winner’s title at the next meeting.

Prior to the season we organized two test races to see if we may forbid traction control but the admins decided to stick with 2008 rules and to allow traction control. One of many reasons was that the car was built to have it and to keep it real, we decided to leave things as they are. However we enforced a new rule that we use now realnames in the OWRL F1.

The first Race is over. With 20 Racer's the qualification has startet. Riddi showed that he hasn't choosen the number one without reason, with three tenths in front of n!krfm he set the poleposition. The other times and positions can be looked up here.

Overall winner is Ricou.

Round 1 Summary
After 2 races round Aston GT rev track it was #low-racing’s J. Scheuerle who came away with the maximum 50pts after winning both races, and in doing so fired off an early warning to any drivers looking to win the drivers championship. Right behind him with 31pts, D. Williams of My3ID who picked up good points in both races and finished 2nd place overall for the round, closely followed by #low’s other driver, M.Gunzelmann on 27pts who despite missing out on points in race 1 came back to give a strong showing to finish 2nd in race 2.

Norwegian Fredrik Enersen from the 'CoRe Racing' team made his mark here, at the Jamaican circuit of Fern Bay, this past weekend as he and Belgian Alex Laudens outpaced Championship contenders Nolan Scott and Rudy van Buren to close the gap on the two front-runners. Enersen looked stong right from the off, whilst Laudens finished strongly late in the afteroons races to score valuable point in the race for the 2009 iTCC Championship title.

Estonia – Latvia – Lithuania
08.02.2009.

First BC league race went well but with some small issues as always. There were lots of good racers from Baltic States and STD at Fern Bay Gold was fun indeed. Those are not the fastest cars, but there was great racing and battling between the racers for sure. Race started with grid of 27 fastest Baltic drivers that qualified for the race in top10 from each country. It was 1 hour long race, and once the people had calculated the approximate laps, they filled their cars with the fuel and were ready to go.

We're almost there!! The first official LFS championship organized by ESL Italy is coming. Coppa Italia 2009 will start on 03 March. Sign up are opened to italian drivers only. The championship will be 6 races long and will follow the real GP2 championship:

The 2009 iTCC Touring Car Championship season continues this weekend, moving to Fern Bay in it's 'Gold Reversed' configuration for Round 2 of the Championship, on Sunday 8th February 2009. The meeting is again scheduled for 3 x 25 minute races with a reversed grid for the third race - a battle royale is anticipated with so many drivers filling the grid at this sinuously twisting Jamaican circuit.

The event will again be covered in the iTCC broadcast starting from 1800 GMT (UTC), with the commentating team led by Jonathan Palmer from the New Dimension Racing team.

UPDATE: Tracker link added

Do you want to drive in Div A, but haven't been able to crack through the ranks just yet? This might be your get-in-Div-A card! As the new season approaches, some places on the 24-driver grid are still free. And we are going to fill them by giving the spots to the drivers who can post the fastest hotlap at Aston North. This track features the second race of our upcoming season and a driver has to be able to find the balance of his Formula V8 in the slow and fast corners to get to a quick time.
