About Tiger Express Motorsports
Tiger Express Motorsports is a racing team based on the Live For Speed S2 simulator. It saw it’s creation in August 2009, as a racing alliance, but only requested the status of an official team(LFS World wise) in February 2010. In July 2011, the team has 11 members from all over Europe. Our members are generally not the fastest, but they usually are part of the fairest, most consistant and most involved ones, and this is what matter to us.
Although Live For Speed remains our primary simulator, some of our members are very active in other famous ones, including rFactor, iRacing or Richard Burns Rally.
While you may meet some of us on public servers once in a while, we are mainly focussed on leagues. We are all rounders and are involved in most style of racing, should it be in open wheelers, road cars or GTRs. That said, we give priority to endurance racing, which is one of the core of sim-racing in our opinion.
