The developers of LFS have responded to an email and said:
"But to tell you some more about it now, here's a list of full version
features.
Several car categories. From simple tuned road cars to big ones, formula,
karts, buggy and ofcorse a variety of tracks to go with that; cities, kart
tracks, gp's, sand tracks, jamaican beach, etc. All with several configs for
maximum variety.
Weather effects and damage will be included.
What else to say.. oh yeah, the release date is not known yet.. it'll be
ready when it's ready.
About the sound engine, it's a self made engine simulator. So far we can
sort of simulate cylinder firings, valve clicks, simple pipe simulation,
gear wind, wind etc. But it's all to be improved over time. It's very hard
to simulate the sound of an engine perfectly. But like you say, the idea is
there.
And yes the full version will most likely allow as many multiplayer clients
as you can cope with
The bandwidth is variable, and I do not know the bandwith needed. It must be
low as we have tested it with 56k modems and it worked fine (with not TOO
much clients)
We're not sure how we will market it. Maybe separate tracks/cars for sale or
just the whole pack. That's why we have made this demo, so we can see what
ppl want."
There you go! It's an AWESOME little sim at the moment and will only get
bigger and better.

Yes, after extended play, it's obvious that the rumours are a crock. The
demo has only just been released and already the multiplayer lobby is
b*** with drivers and everyone seems to be having a blast (despite the
game crashing occasionally)
I think it's a load of shite - seing as I raced Ash McC and Chris West on it
last night, and we talked about how it was written by some of the guys from
the Black and White development team.

That's too bad.. Because I would gladly "eat my shorts" if Live for Speed was an early RL
preview. It's pure class.
I'll bet your buddies, Chris and Tony, are wondering how they are going to justify the
prices they want to charge for RL seeing as this FREE demo plays beautifully.
They dont need to. RL will justify itself.
If it's too expensive for you ( why else would it bother you?) - dont buy
it. Whats the problem with that?
DOug
<sigh> The cost of the beta would be refunded at release... if you don't
believe there will be a release, don't get the beta. Word has it the actual
demo for the release version will be free.
A professional non-mass produced solution for "our" specific *** need
will cost relatively serious money, that is inescapable. At least two people
will have to live off this piece of code and there's additional development
costs to be funded. Even devided by an optimistic 10k customer base that
still comes down to more than your average Doom3. I can't believe there's
still people who fail to get their head around this.
The supposed $50 would in effect be venture capital, no question. If you
feel you can't take a chance on 50 lousy bucks then don't and wait for a
free demo, a review or an opportunity to try it on a friend's PC. Otherwise,
leave it... and I do mean that in the broadest sense of the word.

a thinly veiled threat..LOL
Please try and keep yourself under control.
Sure it will.. It will be so much better than Live for Speed or GPL or Nascar or F1 2002
or Rally Trophy. Why ? Because it has leather wallets for keeping your RL memorabilia in
.. and special CD cases and everything. Shiny things. Ooooooooh.
Keep taking the pills.

Bah... I'm sure you don't know me well enough to judge my level of
self-control.
Be that as it may, you interpretation of my words as a threat is wrong. I'm
not going to waste my time dispelling your argument any further as, in
earnest, you don't have any. Everyone knows you don't want to pay for the RL
beta and you don't believe the Wests have a chance of succeeding.
I merely suggest you stop wasting your own time by repeating that over and
over...
