4 Reasons Why I Still Love Playing Live For Speed
Everyone is talking about NFS 2015, Assetto Corsa, Project Cars, Forza 6 etc. and I’m still playing LFS! Why? Well, here are 4 reasons why I still love this game!
The community
When I played LFS for the first time, I was struggling to find out how the game works. I didn’t know how to setup a car, how to drive properly, I didn’t even know how to start the engine. xD Thanks to some awesome people I learned the basics and they even taught me how to drift (I’m not a pro but ..K). The community is very friendly and they always help new players by giving them sets, teaching them how to drift etc. You can’t find friendly players in every racing game.
The mods you can install.
In Live For Speed, you can literally mod EVERYTHING! You can add window stickers, you can change rims, steering wheel, interior, seats, you can even mod the driver’s suit and helmet! This way you will give a personal touch to your car. But be careful, some mods don’t work online!
The difficulty.
LFS is freaking hard! You need days of training to become a decent driver. You’ll have to find the perfect setup for your car and practice again and again in order to become good. That’s a reason why I love it. In many racing games, you just spend 10 minutes to get used to the game and then you are a drift king who can do wheelies and backflips. AW HELL NAW!
The physics
For such an old game the physics are so realistic. For example, you can’t take a corner with 160km/h without crashing into something. You can warm up your tires in order to slide more etc. I’ve tried many other games but I think it has the best physics.
Alright those were 4 reasons why I still play LFS. I’ll be online for some time so come and drift with me! Server: Tofu Race Drift Server. (LFS Demo)

Holy sh*t i tought i was the only one left playing this and some random people online :) Aswell as rFactor
Playing it for around 5 years now,I drift sometimes on tofu server but I haven’t seen you there,are you often on tofu?
This game never get old :D
Hey, Qatar :D might recognise me from TC? :P
Best simulator I ever had.
But a tip: don’t try to get that world record because you’ll be pissed. A lot.
Though that is such a joy when you after hours of practice and struggling get to the 80th position from 270.
Since it’s free i think everyone should invest a few hours into the game.
not free, s1, s2, s3 cost money, demo free.
Glad im not the only one that loves LFS! :)
Your on a TC server with LFSLAZY? whats your username? I’m on there sometimes, name is Asyed/Takumi or asyed
Give this guy a nurburgring lap
Pete here, nice rig! Shame this article didn’t actually touch on the other 99% of LFS.
I have driven over 125 000 kilometers in this awesome sim!!!
YOU RACE ON THE SAME SEVER AS ME HOLY
I can’t find the server..
Nvm, found.
NEVER use keyboard controls, get a proper racing wheel setup.
I installed it and got stuck, can i drift eith keyboards? I had a tough time there😁
you can use your mouse to steer, it works pretty well if you want to drift, not as well as a steering wheel of course
