Can car racing video games help me in real car driving experience?

As well as my stated creds, I’ve been racing sims for a similar amount of time to real life racing. both on my home PC and occasionally in proper sims owned by racing teams. If the sim is a good one and you have a decent wheel and pedals (doesn’t need to be fancy, a Logitech one will do), then sims are hugely beneficial to real life racing ability. I don’t think it’s going to help your road driving much though, but it will help a bit with the basic hand-eye coordination, understanding that being smooth and looking ahead is what helps, and the idea of gearchanges etc. For the road the most important thing is to understand the rules, plan ahead, and look ahead, which a sim won’t teach you. The mechanics of driving a car to the shops and back are pretty simple and most people learn that fairly quickly, with the rest being safety. The best way to learn that is with a good driving instructor and a book to revise the principles and rules.

What is the benefits of playing racing games?

-Enhanced Hand-Eye Coordination

Racing games require players to quickly react to visual cues such as the track layout, other vehicles, and obstacles. This helps improve the ability to coordinate hand movements with visual information, which is useful in many real - life situations, from driving a real car to performing tasks that require precise manual dexterity.

-Improved Reaction Time

In racing games, players must make rapid decisions, such as when to accelerate, brake, or turn. Constantly facing these situations helps reduce reaction times, allowing players to respond more quickly to unexpected events.

-Stress Relief

Engaging in a racing game can be a great way to unwind and relieve stress. The immersive nature of the game allows players to forget about their daily worries and focus on the task at hand, providing a form of escapism.

-Strategic Thinking and Planning

Racing games often require players to develop strategies, such as when to use power - ups, how to overtake opponents, and when to conserve resources. This helps improve strategic thinking and planning skills, which are valuable in various aspects of life, including problem - solving and decision - making.

-Spatial Awareness

Players need to have a good sense of space to navigate the track, judge distances between their car and others, and make accurate turns. This enhances spatial awareness, which is beneficial for activities like driving, sports, and even some professional fields such as architecture and engineering.

Live for Speed is a serious racing simulator. No arcade modes, no steering aids - YOU have to do the driving.

The forces affecting the car's motion are simulated individually at each wheel. We recommend the use of a steering wheel, because although you can use the keyboard and/or mouse, a wheel and pedals provide a lot more accuracy. The force feedback sent to the steering wheel is calculated directly from the forces, with no canned effects. This allows you to feel what is happening at the contact patch between your tyres and the road, helping you to get closer to the limit without exceeding it too much!

When you have a lot of speed and you approach a corner, you must brake well in advance or you will end up somewhere you don't want to be! You need to find the best way through any sequence of bends by going through them many times. There's always more to learn.

You can race alone, against the clock, or against the AI drivers. But for many people the real fun is to be found online, racing real people, in multiplayer mode. LFS makes it very easy for you to do so. Simply click "List of Hosts", select a server that looks interesting and join instantly. Many hosts run short races of a few laps, so there isn't usually too long to wait for a restart. Most public hosts allow you to join mid-race. Just make sure you keep out of the way of the people who started the race before you joined! There are also several online racing leagues you can take part in if you are looking for something with a more competitive edge.

A serious simulator obviously requires a very good physics simulation to provide the thrill and fun of real racing. This is done by including all aspects that are important to racing. Live for Speed is in constant development. S3 is the third step towards our vision of the finished product, and already does a very good job in simulating real racing. Many aspects are covered - comprehensive setup possibilities, fuel usage, tyre wear, crash damage, different surface types, intriguing racing environments, different car classes and so on. All this makes sure you have plenty to practise with and spend time on, learning the flow of the tracks. Don't forget to plan your pitstops - find out how much fuel your car uses per lap and how your tyres behave on any track, with your particular car setup and driving style.

You can download Live for Speed from our download page. The software will initially act as a demo, allowing access to three cars and one track environment only. To access the other content, you will need to buy a license upgrade.

S1, S2 and S3 licenses, as well as other products, can be purchased from our shop pages.
