Game Modes
Live for Speed features several game modes. New players can learn and veterans can refine their driving techniques through structured lessons in the training mode. The multiplayer mode offers an online experience where players race against other people on various servers, with an option to start your own server. The single player mode allows practice against AI drivers with adjustable skill levels, perfect for learning tracks and developing setups without pressure. The hot lapping mode lets players compete against global rankings in a controlled environment, with strict validation rules to ensure clean laps. Additionally, Replays allow players to record and review their races, providing opportunities to analyze performance and improve driving skills.
Training
The training mode serves as a driving school, designed to help new players learn essential driving techniques for circuit racing. It is also beneficial for experienced players looking to refine their skills. Players can select from various lessons, each with specific goals and requirements. Successful completion within a set time frame without hitting any objects or cars is necessary to pass the exercises. Additionally, a training Lesson editor is available for creating custom lessons creation.
Multiplayer
In multiplayer mode, players can race against human opponents online. Players can quickly join races by displaying a list of available hosts or join a specific host by entering its name. Features include automatic car and helmet skin downloads and chat functionality. Options are available to start new hosts or manage existing ones. Players can also search for other users online and join their sessions.
Single Player
Single player mode allows players to race against AI opponents, making it useful for learning tracks, developing car setups, and practicing racing skills. Players can adjust AI difficulty, add up to 32 AI drivers, and configure race settings such as track, weather conditions, and race duration. The game lobby screen provides options to choose cars, customize car setups, and manage race details.
Hot Lapping
Hot lapping mode enables players to compete against global best lap times in a controlled environment. The HLVC (Hot Lapping Validity Check) ensures laps are clean and valid. Players can save and upload their best laps to LFSWorld to compare with official world records. Replays of other players can be downloaded and studied to improve performance.
Replays
Live for Speed offers a replay feature for both single and multiplayer races. Players can record, view, and analyze replays from various perspectives, with options to speed up, slow down, or pause playback.
