That's probably very unfair, but I've always found the
LFS "scene" to be rather immature. If there was a mod for
adding expensive hi-fi systems and extra spoilers to the
cars I'm sure it'd be *very* popular. :-)

LFS is probably the best thing going in simracing right now, it's just
most people don't realise it. :)
Fantastic sim with great physics particularly when you consider there
is just 3 people behind it.
The Formula XR is great but I agree about the GTR cars being a little
hard to handle however the 4WD model is really nice and tame once you
get used to it and perhaps tweak the setup a little, you can get into
some fun controllable slides.
So in a way you lose when commercial happens, it cuts you out of the action.
You're at lost.

You don't have it?! This is rec.autos.simulators, not
rec.nascar.simulators!! Isn't it worth 20 to find out? Wouldn't
there be more people in this newsgroup discussing simulators, if
everybody here actually bothered to go out and buy them? If we (the
sim community) don't buy sims, we are telling the publishers that the
market isn't there, so that means less sims in the future.
Are you saying someone should read in here about how rooted a sim is and
then go and buy it so they can see for themselves how bad it is. And thus
reward a shithole of a company in the process. This is exactly the reason to
read here - to avoid that!
Wake up bozo!

You can also download Watkins Glen (NASCAR layout) from
http://www.gtrresource.com/ and compare the fun you get from humble Ford
Escorts MK1 (European model, 1974) in GTR and the NASCAR tanks in N2K3.
YMMV, but I sure do enjoy both.

while on the other side of the pond, we think about that one:

The street version was some kind of European equivalent of a poor man's
Pontiac Fiero (yuck!). While I would not be caught in bed with an
Escort, I must confess enjoying these a lot in GTR (the 280BHP's do
help). Then, there is the late Escort Cosworth... but I'll stop here
before other BBC Top Gear brainwashed afficionados chime in.
By the way, over here a Reliant is something even more exciting

Shared the bodyshell with the European Escort from 1981, and that was about
it. You got the XR3, and we got vinyl seats, fake woodgrain and chrome
wheel trim rings...

Then you never watched a replay of any online Papy mod have you?
:)
One of the things that bothers me about GTR is not under braking but
acceleration. The old Viper washboards when I exit a slow corner(which as
most of you know, is just about EVERY corner) The front dips, then the
back etc, it's like I'm on a playground ride called a teeter-totter(usa)
