Hello Racers!
We are pleased to announce that there will be a new patch before Christmas. This patch will contain AI and physics improvements, updated Blackwood and South City tracks and... a new real car - The Formula BMW FB02!
The story behind the new car is that there is a new UK based company called V1 Championship whose aim is to discover a new racing driver through a series of tests resulting in a place in a team for the winning driver. V1 will be launched in 2008 and shown on TV in the UK. Live for Speed will be used as part of the selection process, before testing in real cars. V1 asked us to create a Formula BMW to make this test as realistic as possible. BMW Motorsport gave us permission to build the car in LFS, so we went ahead and built it.
The V1 car is owned by Fortec Motorsport where V1 is based. Thanks to V1 and Fortec, I was able to get a test day driving the Formula BMW and that helped a lot with the realism of the LFS version of the car.
Many forum users will have been expecting the finished GTR racing car interiors to be included, as that was originally planned for Patch Y. But the Formula BMW caused a change of plans, so those much anticipated interiors aren't quite ready yet. Anyway, the FZ, XR and XF GTR and road car interiors are near complete and will be released as soon as possible.
We can't give an exact date for the release yet but it will be before Christmas. Right now you can watch a video of my test day and footage of the car in LFS. Thanks to DoN for making the video. Click the link below to download it. If it doesn't play on your computer, just visit www.divx.com and install the free DivX player.
Watch now!
We hope you enjoy the video and we look forward to releasing the patch, which is currently being thoroughly tested!

Glad to see smarter AI coming, and the other improvements as well. Can't wait to see the new interiors too. Keep up the good work!  |

| Actually it's the stall-able engines that I look forward to the most. FBMW would be great, no doubt! |

Oh Dear
AI still as dumb as ever. I give up on this game. When you see what Blimey and Simbin are doing for next gen, These guys will need day jobs! Great tyre model and overall physics and thats about it. |

maybe if you're a noob who onlyraces offline, then i guess you'll feel that way. LFS doesnt take shortcuts like simbin. the ai actually drive the same car that you do with the same physics, unlike in other sims  |

| Yes years ago when my lifestyle was different, I raced online. Its the pures form of simracing no doubt. But I dont have time anymore and while LFS is great for online racing it offers little else. It does not make me a noob to play offline. Majority of people play offline! |
