The game is intended to appear in three parts (S1, S2, S3). Every part will come with big improvements in physics, graphics and sounds. Let's don't forget additional cars, tracks, and the increased number of players in a server. LFS S2 was first time released as a alpha version on June 24, 2005. The last version S2 W launched on March 31, 2007 features new car sounds, improvements in the level of detail, and some 2D details and mirrors. With S2, the game offers a total of 19 vehicles which are accessible from the beginning. The cars are very different in handling, ranging in a wide variety from FWD, RWD, to 4WD, and from 100 horsepower to 700hp. The current version features seven racing tracks with different layouts from GP and oval to autocross. The user can also edit his own layouts using cones using the in-game editor.

Being a sim-racing, the game requires a smooth driving style. The game supports wheel, keyboard, joystick, or gamepad control. Inspired also by other projects, the game comes also with a FPS controlling style, using the mouse in controlling the car. It is a much smoother way of controlling the car, than using a keyboard, but nothing compares with a wheel. The races can be set by the user, from hundreds of laps to an endurance racing based on elapsed time. The game supports also pit stop management, including refueling, and tire changing. There is possible also driver change during an online race. For best performance, every car can be set to the very small mechanical detail (brakes, suspension, steering, final drive, tires, downforce, traction control).

For the best online experience, LFSWorld.net offers the user a lot of informations and statistics in real-time. You can view your best lap record, lap counts, total distance traveled, fuel burnt, etc. If you are strong enough you can upload you best time in the world record time chart. The chart supports all the combinations between track and car model.

It's hard to draw a conclusion to such a complete sim-racing game. The best way is to try yourself the demo version and see if you can handle it.
There are a lot of servers out there ranging from gt races, autocross, drag and drift races. At the moment the game supports 23 users per server. There is always somebody that can beat you.
