Hello Racers,

The list of events now shows a countdown to a live stream if it will start within an hour.
The number of racers on an event's host is now displayed, either during the event or when it is open for practice.
A lock icon is shown if you will need a password to join.

Hello Racers,

We have released a new update with some useful improvements.
The most noticeable thing is a new entry screen which shows a list of upcoming events from the calendar.

Hello Racers,

It is nearly two months since the release of the new mods system which has been very popular and well supported by the community.
We have made a lot of improvements in LFS since then and you can now get them in a new patch, 0.7B.

Hello Racers,

We have always wanted to support user created content in Live for Speed.
We thought it could be done after the new version release, with the new physics.
That would have been ideal but there is a lot of demand for mods and we started to look into it this year.

Hello Racers,

It has been a while so we'd like to tell you what we've been doing and some plans.
You may have been expecting a report about Fern Bay.
But Eric had so many ideas for new ways to link up roads at South City he wasn't ready to stop.

Hello Racers,

We are pleased to announce a new update with a lot of new features, fixes and improvements.
This is not the graphics update we have been talking about in recent progress reports.
This one still uses the same physics system as the public version it replaces, but allows a wider range of setup options for some of the cars.

Hello Racers,

In our last report on the website we showed some images of the updated South City and demonstrated day to night transitions and night driving.
Since then, Scawen has continued to develop the graphics system and Eric has continued to work on South City.
Extra areas and scenery are being added and roads are being opened increasing the possibilities of extra configurations.

Hello Racers,

In our July progress report we talked about the realtime sky that allows day to night transitions and showed screenshots of the Kyoto track area.
Since then, Eric has been working on South City and Scawen has continued with the lighting.

More roads have been opened up and you can drive into the multistorey car parks.

Hello Racers,

Our previous progress report was about the Kyoto updates and the new lighting system.
Since then, Scawen has done more work on the lighting which may be interesting for some readers.
Eric continued with Kyoto for some time.

Hello Racers,

As many of you know from the forum and Twitter, Eric has been working on Kyoto and Scawen has been working on a new lighting system.
In this month's progress report we would like to show you some of the work in progress and talk a bit about the lighting.

The Kyoto track is not yet finished.

Hello Racers,

Today we have an update for you with some important fixes and some new features.
This is not the graphics update we have been talking about in recent progress reports.
This one is fully compatible with the existing public version.

Hello Racers,

For this month's progress report we will show you some images of the updated Westhill track.

As Westhill is one one of our more modern track areas, it didn't need to be reworked as heavily as some of the others.

Textures have been updated to take advantage of the new lighting system, new 3D kerbs have been added and there are various scenery updates around the track.

Hello Racers,

We have been working on graphics for some time now.
A new lighting system allows more varied and realistic surface properties and we have a new shadow system.
All tracks must be updated to take advantage of the new features.

Hello Racers,

In the August and September progress reports we talked about the new shadows and lighting system and showed pictures of the updates on the Blackwood and Rockingham tracks.
All our tracks must be updated to use the new lighting system and some older tracks need more changes to bring them up to date.
Aston is one of them and is the subject of this month's report.

Hello Racers,

In the August progress report we talked about the new shadows and lighting system and showed pictures of the updates on the Blackwood track.

This month you can see some screenshots of the Rockingham track, including real vs virtual comparisons, and a few pictures of shadows working with moving objects and the layout editor.

Read the whole report on the Graphics Progress Report: Rockingham page.

Hello Racers,

We have been working on graphics most of the time since early 2017 and we can now show you some of the results.
You will instantly notice the the new detailed shadows and shine on the road surfaces.
Looking around, you will start to see that many more surfaces have some sort of shine level.

Hello LFS Racers,

Today we have released a new update.
After some disruptive attacks that took place recently we were forced to make our website and multiplayer systems more robust.
As an update was needed, we took the opportunity to do a few more improvements, including some extensive changes to the layout editor.

Hello LFS Racers,

We are pleased to announce a much improved version of the Blackwood racing environment.
Textures and detail have been updated all around and a new Historic course is included in addition to the original GP and Rallycross tracks.
For licensed racers, a new industrial estate area is accessible through the open configuration.

Dear LFS Racers,

First we would like to wish you a Happy New Year!

Today we have made a change that will be helpful for many LFS racers.
Until now, everyone paid the same price for an LFS license.

Hello LFS racers,

Sales of the clothing at www.lfsshop.com have slowed and we would like to avoid the need to store the stock.
You can now enjoy up to 75% off of all items during the clearance sale of the LFS Merchandise shop.
The sale will run for a few weeks before the shop shuts its doors, so don't wait too long.

Hello Racers!

Today we are pleased to announce a new update with graphical improvements, better controller support and more.

The main graphical update is a new system to simulate the mirrors realistically.
Each mirror's image is drawn from a separate reflected location, so the interior mirror looks out through the rear window and you can see the sides of your car in the side mirrors.

Hello Racers,

It has been an interesting month for Virtual Reality, with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive headsets now being shipped to customers.
Live for Speed is so good to use in VR, it was our top priority to make sure it works with the new headsets and latest software.

Hello Racers,

We are pleased to announce a new update with many improvements for VR, multiplayer, audio and more.

Live for Speed has some of the best VR support.
It's a big month for Virtual Reality, so we thought it was a good time to make it even better.

Hello Racers,

We are pleased to announce a new release with an updated Rockingham track and many more fixes and improvements.

LFS now supports a borderless window mode that has various advantages including much better support for multiple monitor setups.
New features have been added to the interface and the layout editor.

Dear LFS Racers,

We are pleased to announce a new version of Live for Speed, 0.6K, which contains the Rockingham race track.
Located in Corby, England, Rockingham is an oval track with many infield configurations.
Thanks to the owners, we were allowed to hire APR Services to laser scan the real track area in 2008.
