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. If found, more robust references like news articles stating or referring to the fact they played LFS, should also be referenced here. 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. 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. Might there be any inaccuracies, either spotted by community members or the drivers themselves, feel free to create a post in the Discussions tab of this article, or contact one of the editors.
