About the Community

Our forum has become the centre of communication and is a huge resource of information, help and additional downloads for the simulator. But it doesn't stop at our forum - localised communities have sprung up all over the world. Leagues are being run on nearly every continent, running events varying from sprint to endurance races. All your actions online are recorded and made available to you at LFS World where we also have the hotlap charts for the offline side.

About Live for Speed

Our current release is S3, the third step towards our vision of the finished product. We aim to recreate the thrill and fun of motorsport, by simulating all aspects of racing. We include a wide variety of environments and cars which can be set up with an abundance of options - all on your home pc. More about LFS, the online racing simulator.

The Cars and Tracks

The Demo gives you access to 3 cars and one racing environment that has both a road and a rallycross track. The cars available are a front wheel drive hatchback, one rear wheel drive road car and the Formula BMW, a single seater. The full S3 license gives access to six more racing environments, a big test area and 17 additional cars. The test area contains a skid pad, a drag strip and an autocross area, plus an editor to create your own autocross tracks. More about cars and tracks.
