- First look at Le Mans 24 Hours from Infogrames 1999-12-06 · 26 postsKenneth Verburg posted a first look at Infogrames' Le Mans 24 Hours, whose PC release had slipped to 10 December in Europe, with a US release as Test Drive Le Mans. Posters doubted the claim of physics unsurpassed by any other sim, noted reports of no in-car view and an arcade-like German magazine review, and questioned an early PC Format review.
- Le Mans 24 Hours: fun arcade game, not a sim 2000-01-15 · 38 postsSpeedFreek defended Infogrames' Le Mans 24 Hours as fun despite not being a realistic sim. Others criticised its lack of multiplayer, its GT2 cars being as fast as prototypes and its weak setup options, and argued over marketing hype versus what was printed on the box. A brief exchange of insults between James Wohlever and markp ended in mutual apologies.
- Would anyone want a 24-hour Le Mans sim 1999-03-19 · 20 postsA poster doubted that many would want to simulate a 24-hour race, but others welcomed the upcoming Le Mans 24 Hours game, imagining shared drives, and wished for historic eras like the Ford and Ferrari battles of the 1960s. Details from the game's website suggested five extra tracks and a circuit without the Mulsanne chicanes, though a French beta preview said the sense of speed was lacking.
