Does anyone have experience with this mod? If so, what are the general
impressions of the physics? I must admit my sim experience with LM cars is
very limited but it seems that the sims has a rather "arcade" feel to it. It
seems is if these cars have an extraordinary amount of grip in the turns,
especially compared to the GTR mods (even taking into account the higher
center of gravity). Does the sim seems accurate to you? I have't been able
to find any game/ physics patches yet. Are there any?
    The mod looks great but whenever I fire it up, the question about the
physics model keeps nagging me. I just wanted to know what everyone else
thinks.

   I'm not a physics person,  but usually these discussions come down to
personal taste.   If you are used to GTR then SCR might seem different, is
it wrong or right?   I'm not the person to answer that.  I will tell you
these cars have quite a-lot of Downforce.  Moreso than even the near
identical Le Mans prototypes.  With the Exception of Road America, none of
the tracks in the US, where the ALMS is based have anywhere near the top
speeds of Le Mans...so Downforce is the rule.  
  If you don't like SCR that is not a bad or good thing...just your
personal preferance.

I think it's a great mod and one long overdue- I guess that's why I'm so
curious about it. I did go from low traction control to none- it seemed to
help. I used TC in the first place to help simulate the driver aids that LM
and F1 cars use nowadays. Getting rid of it all together is what I should
have done in the first place. ( Before anyone berates me- TC and automatic
clutch are the only driver aids in the sims that I ever use.)

The SCR mod is great, very realistic if you ask me.  The LM2002 mod looks
great, but physics lets it down a bit.
