I’ve been thinking about the potential educational benefits of LFS, especially with its car mods concept. LFS seems like a fantastic tool for students who are passionate about automobile engineering and design. The detailed physics engine and the ability to modify and create cars could provide students with a hands-on, practical way to apply what they’re learning in the classroom.

Given this, do you think LFS should be promoted more actively towards schools and universities? It could be integrated into automotive courses or design projects, providing students with a unique and engaging learning experience.

Additionally, I was wondering if anyone else sees the potential for a global LFS Formula Student competition? Similar to the real-world Formula Student events, this could involve teams of students designing, modifying, and racing virtual cars. It could be an exciting way to merge education with the LFS platform, and it might even attract more young talent to the community.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

There are more cappable software for such out there already for sure. Althought the list or requirments LFS would have to overcome is long, I'll just point one single, most detremental one: LFS has no way to provide support over it's product to the extend of required by institutions, period.

They barerly maintain it for us, hooked gamers, and let them just do only that.

I'd love to see this E-Formula Student idea play out, it would be great fun building and racing a car up to a certain spec! eGM kinda does this already with their SST cars but I think a bit more free regulations would be better. Also, SST uses a race format, E-Formula Student could use a time attack format..

Sorry for the off topic but did AI write that post, Silverracer?

was thinking the same thing, reads like ChatGPTspeak

Indeed. It read much better than the long winded post I typed up.
