20th Anniversary!
Hello Racers,

It is the 20th anniversary of Live for Speed becoming well known! According to various sources, it was on 18th August 2002 that Demo Test 0.04k first became known to more than a few people. It was very exciting to see the reaction to this new racing simulator that seemed to have appeared from nowhere and was quite different to what was available at the time. It had a focus on multiplayer racing. Despite synchronisation issues, it was already a lot of fun to race around Blackwood, with up to 8 drivers, in an XF GTI, XR GT, or XR GT TURBO.

If you'd like to try 0.04k it is available on our downloads archive page. It does not connect to the master server but it is possible to connect to a host directly by IP address.

LFS has come a long way since 2002, with 9 track areas now available and a huge variety of cars created by racers using the new mods system. Of course, there is more to come, notably a new graphics system and new tyre physics. The new graphics system includes dynamic lighting and day to night transitions. The tyre physics update is more realistic and accurate for a better driving experience.

We decided to show a few pictures of some track updates that Eric has been working on and share some technical details about the ongoing development in the physics system.

Please visit the 20th Anniversary page to see the screenshots, read about the development and watch a few short video clips.



Thank you for all the support over the last 20 years!
