Round Three of the series is already upon us, as the cars and drivers travel overseas to Kyoto and prepare themselves for the forthcoming task, they will notice the magic track pixies have been hard at work and placed objects all over the lovely oval. The layout has been tried and tested, and run in general testing for the previous week, so we know it works.

Drivers are advised to take care, and if they have not done already, run a few laps around the layout. Laptimes expected are between 0:53.xx and 0:55.xx.

Everyone was looking for a close fight between the two championship contenders and the qualifying showed that everyone was right. Only three hundredths of a second. But there was still a driver who was faster. Newcomer Milos, driving for DoKu Racing took the pole-position with a one second gap and had the best position for the upcoming 42 laps of the final race.

Milos was able to keep the lead on front of ^P^Storm, who overtook FPR|Matze at the beginning of this race. Both were followed by spdo FiredUp. The race was five laps old, when DoKu.Milos spun at Turn 1After a very long recovery he had to give up.

On last Sunday the 2nd November the 2nd race of the Austrian Live For Speed championship took place. The 56 laps race was on Fern Bay Green with the XRG and XFG. Hohenauer of the Bandelnet racing team wons this race in front of Kurtz and Wachter.

A controversial 12 Hours of Kyoto Grand Prix opened the 2008-2009 Masters of Endurance season on October 4th, as a server malfunction mid-race caused the race to be red flagged and restarted on a new server. F1RST Racing claimed the GT1 victory in the event, while spdoRacing took the GT2 win in controversial fashion.

The server disturbance occurred approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes into the 12-hour race, disconnecting nearly half of the field and preventing anyone from reconnecting to the server.

Round one of the second season of the RSWC got of to a flying start, with DaveWS taking wins in both the sprint race, and the feature race, despite starting at the back of the grid on the feature race, due to the reserved grid.

Further down the grid, My3ID featured strongly, with 2 of their teams getting points, other notable results included S.Baker taking his best position in any RSC league be claiming a 6th in the feature race, also, RSC newcomer A.Pettigrew taking 7th in the feature race.

The XRT Stock Car Cup is an XRT-only stock-car type racing series consisting of 4 oval events and 4 road course events. Formerly known as the StormCup, the series includes the traditional stock car racing features such as Safety Car regulated starts/restarts, Safety Car periods, the "Lucky Dog" rule for lapped cars, and required pit stops.

Events on the Kyoto Ring Oval including the special knock-out formatted All-Star Challenge, two oval events on custom courses at the AutoCross Arena, and road course events highlight the eight event schedule.

Yann Laprevotte (GreyBull [CHA]) has been crowned LFSBC Season 2 champion after finishing 5th in the final round of the season, an endurance round at Aston Historic using GT2 spec cars. Starting from 6th on the grid, Yann managed to finish just two places behind title rival, South African Darryn Lobb (Dizzydarryn), to clinch the title by just 10 points.

The race itself was won by series creator Jack Atkinson (J@tko) - scoring his first ever League win after 2 seasons of LFSBC.

Sign-ups for NDR's latest series, the Mini-FBM series, are now open.

A new LFS dedicated host is now available, fixing several security issues where it was possible for non-administrators to take control over a host.

We therefore advise everyone who runs a dedicated host to upgrade to version Z2 as soon as possible.

Hello all,

We are pleased to announce our new LFS News section where in the future you can find not only generic news about Live for Speed, but also news about leagues and events.
Because this will become a centralised place mainly for community news, we have fitted this section with a news submission feature allowing each and every LFS racer to submit news, if they think they have something worthy to report. You can submit generic news or news about a league. You can also add images and files to your news post, just like on a forum basically, except you can use the attachments inside your text as well (see submit page for more information).
