I am not sure how long this feature exists, but google has now Google Trends. It gives some interesting statistics on what people search for certain keywords.

Linkie

Looking up the statistics for 'Live for speed' one can see that by far the most searches come from Estonia. Compared to the licence pie on LFSWorld (LFS Racers database > Stats) there is a big difference. Generally speaking most searches come from countries that are low on the licence pie (except for Finland).

Anybody has an explanation for this?

This is hard to believe..

If you try LFS instead of Live for Speed you get other results.

Intersting. Fact is that we are big fans of LFS...but why google LFS?
Everyone who has LFS knows needed urls and we don't have so many demo players here.
Strange...very strange

..germany still is?
and im sure it always will be
then UK, then.. US
thats license holders but still.. usually the more people with licenses.. means they are the biggest fans

hell.. germany even sets up booths at gaming shows, so they have to be hte biggest fans

That's because 'LFS' can also mean Linux From Scratch (and many other things).

Oh oops you're right

That's not very good factor to show who is biggest fans
But one is sure...there is a lot of german drivers in LFS.

There is a difference when you don't use " around live for speed. With parantheses you get this result. The title now goes to Slovenia!

It's quicker just to tap it into Google and quickly do the link, that is if Google is your homepage?

lol, Estonians like to search things
