Live for Speed (LFS) is a racing simulator developed by a three-person team comprising Scawen Roberts, Eric Bailey, and Victor van Vlaardingen with its latest release in 2024.

It can be downloaded and installed for free from the official website,[6] but unlocking all of the content (and some features) requires purchasing a license.

[10] The simulator supports 3D devices, including 3D TVs, headsets, projectors, the HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift (both DK1 and DK2, from version 0.6F and 0.6G[11]).

LFS was used in Intel Racing Tour, a competition arranged in Germany in 2007 with a brand new BMW Z4 (E85) car as the main prize for the winner.

If successful in V1 Championship, the contender would acquire a seat in a racing team and would have required to fully commit to have a career in motorsport.

An opportunity to add Rockingham Motor Speedway to LFS came through a contact from V1 Championship, and the track has been announced to be part of the S3 content.

Each racer's online race statistics are collected including per-lap personal bests, lap counts, distances traveled, and the amount of fuel burnt.

Additionally, there is an official world record lap time chart, where racers can upload hotlaps, which exists per track and car.
