LFS has a built-in server browser to find public servers. There's nothing wrong with racing on these servers, but this guide is mainly for people who want to try something new. Besides these servers, there are some groups of people who organize races and championships at set times. This guide is aimed at those LFS drivers who already have some experience in single player or public servers, and now want to join a league. It explains finding such servers and tries to answer some frequently asked questions.

There are different ways to find a league or event. First of all, you can check out the [https://www.lfs.net/forum/22 Leagues & Events subforum]. However, over the years there are now so many sub-subforums and threads, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. The easiest way is looking at the race calendar: https://www.lfs.net/leagues/calendar . Be aware: the racing calendar is not always complete. Some league organizers forget to add their dates to the calendar, or just never do it because they organize them on TeamSpeak or via their own sites. Despite that, you should find some great events there to participate in.

The weekly leagues, which are more "open" and do not require signing up only lock the server after the qualifying session ended: if you are already connected to the server, but just before the race you plan to leave (or during the race you lose connection but would like to rejoin), you might be surprised with the lock. Make sure to ask between Qualifying and Race, what's the password for the event, so you can rejoin safely.

 +
*Some leagues require registration of some sort. That might be as simple as posting "Hello, I want to race" in the forum.
 +
*Sometimes that post has to be more formal and include some extra information. Leagues with more sophisticated signup forms might require you to: pick a racing number, pick a car to race with, include your team name, your real name; leagues with driver swapping often need all drivers to be named in signup, using their LFSW usernames. Always check the proper signup format in the first post of the thread, or just copy others' signup forms and edit to your liking.
 +
*It might also be that you have to create an account on their site or forum, though this is rare.
 +
*Some leagues (especially officially broadcasted ones) might require you to create and use a car skin with required elements. The required elements might include organization logos, or including your race number on the car skin. This is also rare. If you do not see a forum thread that collects the skins of the drivers (for example "League 2023 - Skins"), the usage of custom skins is probably not required.
 +
*Some leagues with a specified number of rounds and proper schedule might require you to confirm your attendance for every round. This is usually done in a distinguished thread for each round, with drivers confirming attendance or absence with a "yes" or "no". The purpose of this confirmation requirement is to ensure there are enough free spaces on the server (to avoid overfilling the grid, LFS grid is 40 cars maximum), to make sure the organizers get to know the approximate amount of drivers to be present in that round and to make sure all the data tracking software and championship documents are set up properly.
  
*Somes leagues require registration of some sort. That might be as simple as posting "Hello, I want to race" in the forum.

Examples for leagues which do not require signing up (as of May 2023):
 +
* The weekly Fragmaster events, for example [[Fragmaster's GTi Thursday|FM GTi Thursday]] and [[Fragmaster's Fox Friday|FM FOX Friday]]. Note: these events do require you to join their Discord server, to be able to listen to the order in which the drivers are allowed on track to do their one-shot qualifying laps.
 +
* The weekly MRc events, currently [[MRc FBM Saturday]].
 +
* [[B2R Turbo Cup]]
 +
* [[Rony's Tuesday Fun Race]] (RTFR) and RTFR XL.  
  
*Sometimes that post has to be more formal and include some information like driver name, car number, team etc. (Just follow the format that others use.)

Examples for leagues which require signing up:

* [[New Dimension Racing]] (NDR) events usually require signups of some form. NDR events are usually "taken more seriously", from both an organization and driver attitude standpoint. They usually have a live timing tracker, in-game systems to control sessions (SC/VSC periods), a race stewarding body and are broadcasted live by [https://simbroadcasts.tv/ Sim Broadcasts]. The competition level is usually higher, but don't let this scare you - it's probably the most realistic and serious way of racing online in LFS. Instead of organizing weekly events, NDR announces a championship/series for a scheduled calendar of some rounds beforehand, so drivers can plan ahead and practice.

A '''race setup''', compared to a hotlap setup, is slower, but is much more forgiving and lasts much longer. You should use a hotlapping setup for qualifying, and a race setup for the race. After a qualifying session, do not forget to change your setup to a race setup, as starting the race with a hotlapping setup will hinder your race massively.

You might want to disable Damage repair for the race, especially for those which require a pitstop (reason: if you have a relatively clean race with almost no bodywork/suspension damage, but still have a tiny little bit of suspension damage due to kerbs, during a pitstop LFS will still repair all that, and you will spend many seconds in the pit standings still, while you could have easily continued with that small damage). If you do get in a huge crash with heavy damage on the suspension, you might want to repair that damage in the pits, of course.

What is this about?

LFS has a built-in server browser to find public servers. There's nothing wrong with racing on these servers, but this guide is mainly for people who want to try something new. Besides these servers, there are some groups of people who organize races and championships at set times. This guide is aimed at those LFS drivers who already have some experience in single player or public servers, and now want to join a league. It explains finding such servers and tries to answer some frequently asked questions.

Why organized racing?

Everyone has their own opinion on that. Some reasons can be:

  • better driving standards (no crashers)
  • championships
  • longer races are more fun and challenging
  • time to practice because the tracks are known in advance
  • more similar to how real motorsport works

Finding a suitable league/event

Lights out.jpg

There are different ways to find a league or event. First of all, you can check out the Leagues & Events subforum. However, over the years there are now so many sub-subforums and threads, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. The easiest way is looking at the race calendar: https://www.lfs.net/leagues/calendar . Be aware: the racing calendar is not always complete. Some league organizers forget to add their dates to the calendar, or just never do it because they organize them on TeamSpeak or via their own sites. Despite that, you should find some great events there to participate in.

You can also check the News section where special events or start of a new season are announced. Some races are long or short, for new or experienced drivers, and so on. Describing all the different types of leagues or events is impossible. Just pick something that looks interesting for you.

Questions

Looks very hard. Am I good / fast enough?

If you have enough interest in LFS to be reading this, then you are probably fast enough. There are leagues aimed at casual or beginner drivers. Often one can race in mid-field even with lap times some seconds of the world record. A minimum of car control is always required to finish the race, of course.

Is this only for dedicated hardcore drivers?

It's for everyone: the tracks and dates of race are known in advance, so there is plenty of time to prepare. When you join an open, "public racing" server there is usually no time to practice at all, as the races are short and are on repeat race after race. The few rules that league racing involves only make it a more fair, more controlled environment, which is always a bonus for a simracing experience, to have fun.

I am scared of so many cars. What happens if I cause big accidents?

If you are really scared of racing in a crowd, there are races with slower drivers or small grids, start in those. After a crash you can always explain the situation in chat (wait until race is over so you don't disturb others in the race) or in forum. Usually it is solved after that. :)

What league is the best?

Depends on what you expect: ask in LFS forum what league is suitable for your preferences and skills.
