MRc E-Challenge is a single seater racing series heavily inspired by the FIA Formula E Championship, using one of the early LFS mod vehicles - the E-Challenger, which is significantly inspired by the Formula E Gen 2 vehicle. The league is run by the Master Race car team (MRc) in cooperation with the New Dimension Racing organisation (NDR). Its inaugural season was held in 2020. The event requires signing up to participate. All events held within the E-Challenge championship were broadcasted in full by Sim Broadcasts.

History, Format and Rules

The league is usually held around the winter. The first season was held in December 2020 as an one-off event, which was supposed to prove the concept is doable and viable in Live for Speed. It consisted of 100 laps long race at the New York e-Prix circuit replica using the Formula XR (FOX) car. The main idea of the event was to carefully manage available resources, as the race was fuel-limited and competitors had to perform various techniques to save fuel while staying fast. The race (while held back by numerous technical limitations of the game at that time and subsequent low attendance) was considered successful as preparations for another edition of E-Challenge began in early 2021.


2022 Season event format:

Session Start Time Session Duration
Free Practice 15:30 UTC 20 minutes
Qualifying 16:00 UTC 30 minutes, 1 hotlap
Super Pole 16:40 UTC 10 minutes, 1 hotlap for top 6 from Q1
Race 17:00 UTC 45 minutes* + 1 lap
  • time is extended in case of SC or VSC


Free Practice

Starts at 15:30 UTC, is 20 minutes long and open to everyone. During the FP, there is a VSC deployment test.

Qualifying

Qualifying starts 16:00 UTC, and is roughly 30 minutes long. Drivers are called to the track in groups of 4-6 cars, in which they can do one outlap and one hotlap. After the fist group is done and spectated, another group enter the track using same format.

Super Pole

Qualifying is followed by Super Pole session, which lasts for only 10 minutes. Top 6 drivers from Qualifying are called to the track one by one from slowest to fastest. Once again, they are permitted to do one outlap and one hotlap. The Super Pole group is locked, meaning no matter how bad time driver achieves in this session, he can not start worse than 6th.

Race

Races start at 17:00 UTC. Races have a flexible distance specified - just like in Formula E, the race is 45 minutes plus 1 lap long. Here however in the case of Safety Car or VSC deployment the extra time is added to the remaining time, assuring competitors have to conserve energy even after SC/VSC periods. The maximum race time is 60 minutes plus one lap. There is no formation lap or rolling start. After the live grid presentation, the race starts with the insim lights.

Pitstops during the race are not required (applies to 2022 E-Challenge season). Spectating is only allowed with Race Director's permission.

Safety Car and Virtual Safety Car is available. On SC restart leader controls the pace. Overtaking is allowed after the car in question (every car to their own) crosses the S/F line. VSC speed is 80 km/h.
