Latest revision as of 15:30, 28 January 2026
This article aims to collect information about LFS players who have been or are active in real life motorsports as well. Over the years, there have been multiple attempts by the community to create lists of these drivers, more or less partially. At the very least, a person appearing in the list is based on any kind of mention on the LFS forums (so, if a community member mentioned them playing LFS, they are included in the list).
Feel free to expand the table with (preferably referenced) information you find or know. For detailed guidelines on how to contribute to this table, see Help:LFS players in real life motorsports.
|
Disclaimer: The list is non-exhaustive, and does not distinguish the fact that a driver first got into simracing and then into real life motorsports, or the other way (and that is not the point, really). Might there be any inaccuracies, outdated or controversial information either spotted by community members or the drivers themselves, feel free to shed light on them in the LFS Community Discord server (#lfs-manual channel), create a post on the Discussions page of this article, or contact one of the editors here directly. |
