And besides...it would be like fixing a 1 inch hole in yer boat on the
left side while there's a gaping 2 meter hole on the right.
It really needs damage....like busted radiators..

Probably my usual bad luck then :-). Ahh well, VROC and GPL is still my
number one choice for serious racing, LFS is great for some quick fun. Have
to test netkar though that everybodys talking about...

I checked out Netkar, although it presents more variety of cars I just
didn't feel as immersed as I do in say LFS, may grow on me but the
graphics need work on, I hesitate to say they look a little cartoony at
this point in time.

The AI do seem to learn the tracks steadily, but they have some
*really* bad habits, and they get stuck in the strangest places because
they can't do a 3-point turn to save their lives. Yet at times watching
through their***pit you'd be convinced there was a human driver...
though this may well be down to the fact the AI use the same physics as
we do ie they have no choice but to look real or fall off the track :-)
I really do have my fingers crossed for LFS, I spent a little time
working on the LX4/6 (Caterham) cars today and although they're hard
work & you can't afford to relax for a moment, they can be incredibly
satisfying to drive. If I was better at understanding setups that'd
probably help a lot!
Think I'll stick to my nice safe 4-wheel drive RB4 for the time being
:-)

I am however impressed with the standard of racing in game, some of its
is frankly awesome. Particularly as I am using setups over the web and
yet still not coming close to the top guys.
After trying Netcar it really brought home how user friendly LFS have
made the whole experience.
