Does anyone know what the various fictitious brands in LFS are supposed to make/do? Reason I ask is so that when I'm using LFS logos on a car with some real-world sponsors, I don't duplicate the sponsorship of that type of product - eg. having two wheel manufacturers advertising on the same car.

Is the following list correct as it stands and most of all can anyone help fill in the blanks?

T-Fone - mobile phones
Nexx - ???
Katt - exhausts
Volante - ???
Takai - helmets and racing apparel
DTuK - ???
RufTweeks - tuning and modifications???
Freno - brakes
HiBite - clutches, pads
Tico - ???
KNS - (Kyoto Suspension Systems) suspension
ATL - (Aero Tec Laboratories) racing fuel cells/tanks
Scavier Solutions - (Scawen/Victor/Eric) racecar engineering?
Injext - fuel
Redexx - oil
Cromo - tyres
Engexx = turbos
Evostar = tyres
Donbikes = ? (bikes?)
Gripmaxx = tyres
3DGE = cooling systems

Thanks in advance!

This is what I can add (it's not much but it's a start)

Scavier Solutions - Scawen Victor Eric Solutions - LFS if you will.

I just realised the Cromo banners around Kyoto have "tyres" written under it in small letters. D'oh! :doh:

KATT=exhaust?

KATT indeed is a LFS exhaust brand, IIRC the LX's have KATT written on their mufflers.

ATL is a real brand http://www.atlinc.com/

Cromo is tyres, but on some skins it says Cromo Sim Gear (http://www.driversemporium.com/products/cromo/index.htm)

HiBiTE I'd imagine to be a friction related company, so clutches and brake stuff would be a logical choice.

The trackside ads will give away some of these, but for the most of them there's really nothing what would tell us what they are. But think if it this way, you don't know what they are but neither do the rest of us. And some of the brands might be sub-brands like Yokohama Advan...

Cromo is also on the steering wheels, don't forget

KNS (image attached)

Engexx = turbos
Evostar = tyres
Donbikes = ? (bikes?)
Gripmaxx = ?
3DGE = cooling systems

Gripmaxx sounds like tires to me...

Heh, neat - never realised it was a real company.

Oh, absolutely. Wasn't expecting an immediate definitive list, just to speculate what they're most likely or generally accepted to be. Although if a dev (I assume Eric creates the brands as part of the graphics/tecturing work) were to confirm or clarify any, then that would be a result. ;D

Thanks, I'd forgotten about those as they're not present in some LFS decal packs I downloaded from here or MS (can't remember which). Thanks to everyone else for their contributions and ideas too.

I think Tico makes the Rallye tyres, and the hybrid tyres... Not quite sure though

hei any1 have live for speed brands decal pack, where are only decals from lfs? http://www.lfs-gear.com/LFS-Decals.html thanks to Blackout

there is also Castrol

That's not a fictitious brand though.
I pretty sure everybody knows what business they're in

They're in the 'stealing money from citizens' business right? Oh, I meant Oil... silly me..

does anybody know what is the Michelin? lol

IIRC Volante makes the steering wheel for the fox. Cromo makes steering wheels for the road cars...
