4 Reasons Why I Still Love Playing Live For Speed

09 Jan 2016

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)

LFS is the best sim for pure racing (also drifting if people like that more). Sadly its community is getting small and we haven’t had much content in the recent years. But maybe things are changing now, we got new Westhill in summer and S3 was just released with Rockingham so there might still be bright future for the game.

Wait so after that whole post you only play the demo version? Lol

Love drifting around in that game! Got a N/A 2JZ powered onevia and it’s mad fun! Especially the 80mph entries at the end of the track hahaha

Do you just play the demo? And where is a good website to find mods for the game?

I’m still waiting to find someone to play with me. Maybe this way I would buy the game :/

Where can I get Live For Speed? Do I have to buy it?

And don’t forget LFS tweak…it’s just amazing how fun ot is to drive 600bhp+ XFG with awd. When i was in high school we were playing this game all the time. (Multiplayer during technical drawing lessons with 5-10 schoolmates). I havent played it for a few years now but i’ll download it today :)
