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)

Still haven’t mastered drifting in forza 4 with a few months of trying lol.
I’ve never heard of this, time to check it out.
I love this game so much and I’m going to install it once my new computer is up and running. Car Throttle LFS community when?
…also LFS S3 license when?
Already out. For a mere 12 GBP you can have rockingham which was promised to us all in S2
Drifting is the easiest in this game compared to other sims imo.
Well LFS is fun, but now it’s time for toxic people to flood it. Not sure what to think. I am already starting to see new drivers on there not following any of the server rules.
Absolutely love this game, one of the best oculus rift games out there!
Holy cow, i play on TOFU all the time, I saw GeoBaz in there and I was like hmmm familiar name…!
I tried joining that server but it said Host not on main server or something :/ What’s your name (to find you on a server)?
I’m not online now but my ign is GeoBaz
This might be a really dumb and noob question, but how do you open the pop up headlights on the XRG?
It’s a mod :)
Because whenever I turn on my lights, the only lights that are lit on the front are the ones below the pop-ups
I dropped the game when the next update with the scirocco was announced. Will pick it up again once it’s out. Well, been waiting since 2008. Screw that noise.
