| Classes & Teams | |
LFRS uses "Classes"
to allow different settings.
|
-
Classes set a combination of race length, time limit or not, steering help or not. So both keyboard drivers and wheel drivers, and drivers with all kinds of connections will find a suitable combination and still can race in one team.
-
See the rules of your league for the number of classes and their properties.
|
Teams play an
important role in LFRS.
|
-
In any one class, a team may have two active drivers. Their points are added together to get the team result for that class.
-
Teams also function across multiple classes. The team results in each class are added together to get the overall team championship results.
-
In GP4, you can choose to run in the endurance and/or sprint team championships instead of the overall team championship. The endurance is for the long distance classes and the sprint for the short distance classes. So four drivers are already a full lineup for the endurance and sprint team championships.
N.B. The choice for OTC or ETC/STC is fixed after a result was submitted for your team.
-
You are not required to be the member of a team to run for the class championship. However, joining a team has many advantages: you can share setups and racing experience, and the team can cheer you up if you have screwed up your race (this will happen to everyone some day!).

| Registering as driver | |
|
What must be done?
|
Steps to take
|
First, you have to register
yourself as a driver at LFRS.
|
-
Click on "Register" in the Login Area.
-
Fill the form, and submit.
-
You will see a message with your new driver number.
-
Now go to the main page, and login with your LFRS driver number and password. You will be in your LFRS Centre.
|
Next, sign up for the
League you want to drive in.
|
-
In your LFRS Centre, click on "Sign up for league" under "Personal Info".
-
Check the box in front of your league, choose your team if you have a contract already, select the class of your choice, and click on "Sign up for leagues".
-
Now when you go to your LFRS Centre again, you will see the menu items for your league.
|
Joining a team
after registering.
|
-
If you do not have a team already when you register as a driver, or if you want to move to another team later, you can ask the team manager to invite you to the join the team. You will then see a message in your personal mailbox. The message will have a link, and if you click it you have joined the team.
You can also use the "Sign up for leagues" link again to apply for the team.
-
A good place to look for a team is in the Forum.
