I've been finding it interesting that whilst sites like
gpl.gamestats.com were listing Demo Lap Records, they all seemed to
use the Lotus car.

When you say that the Ferrari is "jittery, even compared with the
Lotus", do you find the Lotus a jittery car? As I've only got the demo
so far (I'm in Europe), I've found the Eagle *far* more to my liking
than the Lotus which seems to brick like for my tastes. The Eagle on
the other hand seems far more pointy (jittery?!), oversteering
compared to the understeer I feel back from the Lotus.

Yet almost everywhere I turn the Lotus seems to be favoured. Is it
because it's slightly faster, pumping out the same number of ponies at
a slightly lower rpm?

Just curious,

Stuart

Now I don't feel too silly.

This is the first game I have ever played that gave me chills and
goosebumps.

Nothing beats the sound of a Ferrari V12 engine and they managed to
capture it in this game.

Bravo, Papyrus.

Now if I could only get my k6 200 to pump out a gew more fps, I be
ecstatic.

Try overbussing it to 225 (3 x 75 instead of 3.5 x 66)?

8-)

The Ferrari actually scares me. It is the most intimidating car sound I have
ever heard from a sim.

Goodness, that's ACCURATE?!?  You can hear that thing coming up half a lap
BEHIND you...
I can't imagine actually DRIVING it.  At least I can turn my volume down in
the game... :)
