I remember end of 2002 looking for racing demo's on gamersnet.nl !
And found Live for Speed there, got directly linked to a download link and didn't actually visit the website.
Installed it and drove the demo offline with XFG at BL1R I believe. Absolutly fell in love with a racing game that actually was quite realistic.
Tried my first online racing at 16th of December 2002 and started my then called *ROCK* Clan after coming from MOH:AA.
Soon an Australian member aged 35 joined the team, and he added me on MSN. Then a Dutch guy named Pikaflex (trackah123) joined the team, and it became real fun.
I invited friends over from F1 Challenge and the team was fun on public demo racing.
Somewhere around half of 2003 (some updates further) a guy named NaWz joined the team and made us a XFG team skin.
By then I had figured out if you put the AI diffeculty to PRO or so, you would get more credits if you finish online too.
I unlocked the XRT in a race where I was in 4th position, and was begging people to let me by to unlock XRT and they did. It was a warm group of drivers by then.
I kept on playing demo untill July 2007 when myself and Gerben Bol (Bose321) received a S2 license voucher from a German guy. I started Team *ROCK* on S2 and immedialty started racing oval with FO8...
Sadly soon after our accounts got disabled and moved back to Demo. After e-mailing Victor it seemed that the guy where we received the voucher from, made fraud at 4Players, and therefor all vouchers by him used got disabled.
Gerben quickly bought S2, but my parents still did not trust Live for Speed. Luckily soon after I convinced them, and my dad bought me a S2 license with his credit card.
There my real S2 journey began.
