Tiger Express is involved in this Summer’s main LFS endurance league, the International GT Championship. For its fifth season, the league managed to attract a very appealing field, with former champions CoRe Racing, spdo Racing and Conquest Racing coming back, and defending against some of simracing’s finest teams(such as My3id Gaming, ineX Racing, Sonicrealms Racing or RaceStar ConverTTable), trying to gain their first crown. This season will be the shortest of the IGTC history, with 4 races of 4 hour each, all on open configuration tracks.
TEM has had a decent first season half. Round 1 at Kyoto International Reversed saw David Jundt and Yann Laprevotte finish in 13th out of 30 in their FXR. Round 2 was even better, with Karl Raudsepp and Yann making it to the top 10(9th/25) in the 4 wheel drive friendly Fern bay Classic(FE25), despite some heavy suspension damage in the third stint.
Also note the usage of special skins: a slightly tweaked Earthdreams based livery at round 1, which became quite an habit for the team in endurance Kyoto races, in tribute of their GTAL debuts back in late 2009. Round 2 saw a much darker livery, with Leucats on the sides of the car.
At the standings, TEM lies in 10th, and hope to stay in the top 10 until the end of the season, something the team has come so close to last year. Favorites ineX Racing tops the chart, after a win at round 1(despite a rather controversial last lap clash with My3id), and a second place behind ineX Racing 2 at round 2. Surprising FXR squad Sonicrealms Racing #2 is second, with My3id Gaming in third.
