Live for Speed is an online racing simulator developed by Scawen Roberts (game engine), Eric Bailey (tracks & cars) and Victor van Vlaardingen (music, website, sales). It's main features are the realistic physic engine and internet multiplayer with up to 32 players. The game is only sold at the official website http://www.LiveforSpeed.com. You won't find it in any shops as the developers want to stay independent from any publisher, so they can include exactly the features they want to have in the game and do not have to change the game according to some manager's opinion. Starting as a demo in August 2002 more and more people tried the game and joined the internet community. With a lot of development progress the first stage (S1) of the game was published in July 2003. Two years later the S2 Alpha was released and is still under development. The three developers have a close connection to the community and you recently visit the official forum to get ideas what the players want to see in the game. The game is being developed all the time and new features are published in free patches.<br />
<br />
== Physics Engine ==<br />
The outer loop of the physics and environment checks run at 100 Hz, but with 20 uninterruptable sub-updates inside that (tight loop on each car) so in one sense it's 2000 Hz physics.<br />
<br />

'''Welcome to the LFS Wiki, an unofficial online manual for Live for Speed!'''<br />
<br />
It works similar to [http://www.wikipedia.org/ Wikipedia], meaning that you, or anyone (with a licensed LFS account in this case. You can login with your LFS username and WEBpassword), can edit almost any article right now by clicking on the ''edit'' link that appears at the top of the page. Don't be afraid to edit, you can't break the LFS Wiki. Anything can be fixed or improved later.<br />
<br />
So go ahead, edit an article and help to improve the LFS Wiki!<br />
