| |
| − | This environment situated in the sunny outlands of Jamaica contains a wide variety of courses with several road tracks and two rallycross courses.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Club ===
| |
| − | A short course, well suited to the smaller cars.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Green ===
| |
| − | This track is famous for it's very fast first chicane. There are a lot good spots to overtake.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Gold ===
| |
| − | The railroad bridge with the previous very fast double right is the thing you will remember first of this track. You will find wonderful combinations here and some hills. As this track has only 3 straights, you will have to time your attacks wisely.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Black ===
| |
| − | Longest track of S1. This track incorporates Gold and Green. Because it's very narrow with only 1 long straight and lots of turns, this one is maybe the most difficult track in LFS.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Rallycross ===
| |
| − | This rallycross track consists of 70% Tarmac and 30% sand/mud. Most of the track is very twisted and narrow. The starting straight on the other hand is very wide and long. This is the only real overtaking spot on this circuit. The straight, the tight hairpin and the big jump (you have way more speed here than in the "RallyX Green" configuration) in the back are the main characteristics of this track.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Rallyx Green ===
| |
| − | A very short rallycross track. 60% Tarmac, 40% mud/sand. Overtaking is very difficult on this track, because there is only one short straight and there are a lot of bends. A good start is very important here. The only possibilities to overtake are in front of turn 1 and in the long right turn at the end of the mud/sand-part.

| − | In this Japanese environment, the atmosphere is set by the tri-oval - the 'ring', which links together all configurations. The configurations vary a lot - both slow and fast racing is good fun here.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Oval ===
| |
| − | A high-banked tri-oval, the fastest track in LFS. The third and final turn is the slowest, having the least banking. The starting line straight has a slight bend in it that can cause a crash if you aren't paying attention. Drafting, fuel, and tire strategies all play a major role on this track.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === National ===
| |
| − | Part of the track is on the oval, which basically counts as a long wide straight, but the rest of the track is quite narrow and twisty.

| − | [[Image:AS2HiRes.jpg|thumb|The famous downhill chicane]]
| |
| − | The Aston Racetrack in the middle of England has several longer and shorter configurations within a nice countryside full of forest and light hills. The 5 configurations include the longest in S2 with 8.8 kilometers. Fast and slow turns, some altitude changes and a great chicane are the ingredients to this racetrack.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Cadet ===
| |
| − | Cadet is the shortest configuration in Aston. After some very slow turns you have to be prepared for the awesome downhill chicane (screenshot). Try to keep the balance here and during the braking for the last turn and you are back on the start/finish straight. Cadet has it's own pits and a different start/finish than all other Aston configurations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Club ===
| |
| − | Club is a very popular track, especially in combination with the XFR. The main reason for this is, that it has many full throttle parts in which you can prepare an overtaking maneuver. The most challenging parts is the chicane-like combination in the mid and the chicane in front of the start/finish straight.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === National ===
| |
| − | Even more popular may be this track. You will probably find racers driving on this track all the time. Again, overtaking is really easy here. Despite the very slow turns in the mid of the track, this configuration is very fast. Most drivers prefer a GTR on this one.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Historic ===
| |
| − | A very long configuration. After the first turn you will drive the cadet chicane reversed followed by another chicane the takes you to the grand prix-part. After a long straight and a very fast right-hander, a series of left-right combinations with a final long left-hander takes you back to the national part. This track differs not much from the Grand Prix track but these little differences (especially the cadet chicane), well, make the difference.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Grand Prix ===
| |
| − | The longest configuration of Aston. It is very similar to historic with detours around the most dangerous parts. Instead of driving the cadet-chicane you will stay on national a little longer. The fast right-hander is replaced by a fast chicane, too.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Grand Touring ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Grand Prix circuit, except with the slower Club first corner instead of the faster one used by Grand Prix, Historic and National.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === North ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | An extended version of the Cadet circuit with several slow second and first gear corners.
