What is this game and where can I get it.  I've seen it mentioned on
here a couple of times.  Is it any good?  From a post before that
said, "...and you would only be 3 min. behind..." it sounds like a
Rally came...even better.

Well I'm here, is Rally any good?

Later
James.

James,

        LF3000 is a series run using MicroProse's World Circuit or F1GP
depending on where you happen to live.  Same games, different names.  The
series, unlike formula1 is run much as a rally or a cycling stage race.
All cars run a specified setup at the 16 different tracks, with the car
completing the season in the shortest elapsed time winning the title.
After 2 races one would be three and so minutes off the lead.  [New driver
start with the current last place time.]  Its an interesting series and
the competition is relatively well matched.  Last weeks race was won by just
1 and a tick seconds.  At any rate, LF3000 is merely a series not a game
in and of itself.  If you enjoy F1GP, this is a kick.

        Unless you're a backmarker like me. :) Ack, I thought I had a
good shot at the top 6 in Mexico. My fast lap was 2s slower than
everyone! Guess it was only consistency that avoided a last place. Well,
I guess someone has to be last. I make the rest of you look good. ;)

  Sounds like a lot of fun, just a few questions and clarifications if
you will indulge me.  Firstly let me see if I have got this straight:
  People mail their car setups for a particular track.
  Whoever runs it enters the setups into their version of F1GP
  they run this race with full computer control of cars and equal
driver /car stats.
  Finishing times are noted and the scores are updated.

OK that is my understanding (?) of the situation. now here are my
questions:
        1) How does one become involved in the aforementioned series
        2) How many seasons are running at once.
        3) Is there a FAQ list available
        4) how far through the season is the current game
        5) How many 'drivers' are in the series
        6) what does LF3000 stand for/mean?

Thanks a lot,
drive faster,

Geoff
