No doubt about that.  The GTR programmers could learn a thing or two from
these guys.  Everything is smooth and logical.  It shows what can happen
when games are only released when ready.

If anyone is interested in a small, beginner's league, drop me a line at

It also shows what happens when there is no publisher breathing down
your neck, demanding that SOMETHING be produced, CD's burned and sales
made. Operating on an open ended schedule, such as LFS does, is a huge
benefit.

I'm only disappointed there is no S2 content to sample, ie; a new car
or track...  *shrug*

Try the S2 Demo, then get your credit card out and prepare for the ride of
your life.

The FZ50GTR alone is worth the 12.00 it will cost you to go from S1 to S2
licenced.

I jumped straight in the V8 F1-style car and found myself immediately in
big-wide-grin mode. More sense of speed than you can shake a stick at.

Later, when testing the slower cars (like the FZ50 :-) I noticed the
sound. When you drive near a wall, it gets louder! Sounds stupid, but
this makes an incredible difference to the immersion. It's not something
I've noticed so much before in any sim. Which probably means LFS has had
it since S1 and there are a handful of other sims with it.

Damage is very nicely modelled. Much better than in the demo, and having
to look after the tyres is terrible! I mean, it's great, obviously...
it's my driving that's terrible.

Good fun anyway. Heck, I may even add a few online miles to my S1 tally,
which was something like 26 miles IIRC.

PS There is something I really dislike about S2 though. Too many damned
cars to choose from! But then I thought a mere 6 was too many in GPL.
Give me too much choice and I end up being a jack of all trades & master
of none. That's what led me to stick to the Lotus in GPL. Well, that and
the fact that as a pretty slow driver I needed all the help I could get :-)
