How does Le Mans 24 hr compare to them?
TIA

I sure hope so, I don't see why it won't be, so I'm saving my racing money
for this one.

It's *not* a sim. It's a quite enjoyable arcade game, but suffers from
several significant flaws:
* GPL v1.1-style slowdown (mine's started being variable now, ranging
from 25% down to nothing - even if I turn detail way down).
* Complicated and inconsistent menu system.
* Tiff Needell's commentary - about four lines of it. Turn it off.
* No rear-view mirror! I thought TOCA 1 was the last game to do that.
* No proper***pit view - chase or bonnet only.
* Lack of licensing - no McLarens or Porsches (well, there are
Porsches, but they're not named).
I'd only recommend buying it if you find it quite considerably
discounted, or are desperate to race at Le Mans. How PC Format managed
to give it 90% I do not know.

An interesting review that. I think D- is a bit harsh, though - I'd
give it a C- or D+. and I do wish they'd use a smaller font.
