Every time you race on the server you have a chance to get listed on this web site if you are quick or score many points. To see the best server points and race times, see the links in the margin. Tables may not always be immediately refreshed, check back later to see if your latest times have been updated.
If password protected, the password for our demo server is currently: button.
If a PB time limit is applied, this will normally be 110% of the WR time for the circuit.
(PB time limits apply at busy periods when more than one user is connected. If you do not have the required PB time you will need to make that time on an off-peak visit to our server - e.g. European mornings - or on another multiplayer server, or, start up your own local host connected to LFS World, and ensure your lfsworld stats are updated and publicly visible to reflect that - our server will then pick it up.)
We've had a presence on LFS since January 2008 and have now set up our own servers following the closure of the popular CTRA servers which team members regularly frequented. These are aimed at people perhaps just starting out in sim racing who want somewhere to race the beginner cars and also those who want to move on to a wider range of cars and tracks once they have a full S2 licence.
Currently the server is set up for Demo Racers, using the XF GTI (XFG) or XR GTI (XRG) which are the saloon "beginner" cars, at Blackwood GP circuit. New races start about every 15 minutes. A second server is also available for S2 licenced users only with a wider range of tracks and different car options.

Pit stops
We have set races to require pit stops
as this makes things a bit more interesting with the chance to bring
in a bit of pit strategy and also possibilities for people to muck
up their pit stops and so on, as well as opportunities to
get their damaged cars fixed.

Remote in a separate window (requires Flash), and watch
any current race on our no. 1 server. You will be able to watch the race currently in progress, live,
in 2D birds-eye view. In LFS Remote, click on a car in the list to follow it around the circuit and scroll your mouse to zoom in and out. Click on a car's position number in the list to see laptimes and splits. Other options are shown in the bottom left corner. |
If you need a wheel to go racing with, have a look at this selection on Ebay:
NB LFS is not really suitable for children below teen age, mainly because of the strength needed to handle the steering wheel, and on unmoderated servers there can be a fair bit of rough language.
