この車について

Based on the real MRT5 built by the McGill Racing Team and competing in the Formula SAE championship this lightweight car is ideal for autocross tracks and slow configurations. The MRT5 is fun to drive and reminds you of a kart although it has more power and a differential. See the official website.

セットアップのコツ

This car is best with SOFT suspension. Understeer is certainly not needed in the springs, it hurts turning too much. Just adjust antiroll bars to get the balance you want. Also, this car is extremely sensitive to differential settings. Use the viscous differential and keep it fairly open (low single digits). Very low tyre pressures. Rear toe comes in handy again here.

この車について

This Formula BMW is used by an UK based company called V1 Championship whose aim is to discover a new racing driver through a series of tests. V1 will be launched in 2008 and shown on TV in the UK. Live for Speed has been chosen to be part of the selection process of the new drivers.

セットアップのコツ

Low Downforce and stiff suspension should make this car pretty quick around corners and not very hard to drive.

Formula XR

Formula XR

略称	FOX
駆動方式	Mid engined, rear wheel drive
エンジン	2.0 litre inline 4
出力	142 kW (190 bhp) @ 7031 rpm
トルク	221 Nm (163 lbft) @ 4980 rpm
車両重量	490 kg (1079 lbs)
パワーウェイトレシオ	290 W/kg (395 bhp/トン)
重量配分	フロント: {{{WeightDistF}}}, リア: {{{WeightDistR}}}
燃料タンク容量	38 リットル
サスペンション形式	フロント: Double Wishbone, リア: Double Wishbone

この車について

Based upon a Formula Renault 2000 racecar, this car serves as a nice introduction to the cars with downforce. The relatively low power of the engine makes the car easy to drive once up to speed. Insane fun on twisty tracks, and one of the most popular car choices in LFS.

セットアップのコツ

Actually needs a bit of a loose setup, this will help with low speed cornering. Adjust downforce to keep the rear in place at higher speeds. Due to it's low power, it's best to keep wing angles low for most tracks.

Formula V8

Formula V8

略称	FO8
駆動方式	Mid engined, rear wheel drive
エンジン	3.0 litre V8
出力	335 kW (450 bhp) @ 9092 rpm
トルク	385 Nm (284 lbft) @ 7422 rpm
車両重量	600 kg (1323 lbs)
パワーウェイトレシオ	559 W/kg (762 bhp/トン)
重量配分	フロント: {{{WeightDistF}}}, リア: {{{WeightDistR}}}
燃料タンク容量	125 リットル
サスペンション形式	フロント: Double Wishbone, リア: Double Wishbone

この車について

Based upon a Formula 3000 racecar, this is the second fastest but most difficult car to drive in LFS. Once mastered though, it offers great rewards to the driver. It's no Formula One car but don't let that fool you into thinking this isn't one awesome car. Just look at that power-to-weight figure! Suffice to say, the acceleration is incredible. It can pull over 3Gs in the bends. And if it stopped any quicker it would hurt (well, more-so). Only drive it if you have the balls.

セットアップのコツ

Like the FOX, you don't really need much understeer, just use downforce to keep the rear in place. High tyre pressures work well on this car.

BMW Sauber F1 (Formula One)

BMW Sauber F1 (Formula One)

略称	BF1
駆動方式	Mid engined, rear wheel drive
エンジン	2.4 litre V8
出力	537 kW (720 bhp) @ 19036 rpm
トルク	284 Nm (209 lbft) @ 16797 rpm
車両重量	530 kg (1169 lbs)
パワーウェイトレシオ	1012 W/kg (1378 bhp/トン)
重量配分	フロント: {{{WeightDistF}}}, リア: {{{WeightDistR}}}
燃料タンク容量	95 リットル
サスペンション形式	フロント: Double Wishbone, リア: Double Wishbone

この車について

The real BMW Sauber F1.06. Incredibly fast in every way. You'll need to drive absolutely on the limit to get the most out of it. You don't need to lift or even use a gearstick for shifting - the onboard electronics will do it faster than you ever could.

セットアップのコツ

Stiff suspension is way to go here, the tyres flex enough you just don't need the springs to. This also means you can use stiff anti-roll bars without screwing up the handling. High wing angles are needed to increase traction and make use of all that power. The traction control is definately useful to stop you pushing too hard. 4% is a good beginners limit. Hardcore players like to leave it off all-together.
