I briefly played the demo, not expecting much, and I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent early effort. I will buy it if it continues to develop as I expect. Good job so far.

IMO, in no particular order: GPL, MB Truck Racing, Nascar 200*, F1-2002/2001, Rally Masters, Rally Trophy, Real Car Sim (nissan/toyota versions), F355 (dreamcast) While not true 'sims', other driving games that I enjoy: Rally Champ Xtreme, Driver, GTA3
October 1998 to be precise :) I even remember exactly when I brought it (Sad ehhh ) "Luke Phillips" <(NOSPM)[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GB699.27579$[email hidden]...

You guys obviously have not tried some of the Nascar Heat mods, specifically PVH (Porsche Vintage Heat), FF2000 Heat and Caterham Heat, all of which are far more realistic (in terms of handling) than the LFS demo. However, I too am enthused by the LFS demo and believe it has great potential and look forward to the full product. Maxx On Thu, 22 Aug 2002 09:36:36 -0500, rrevved <[email hidden]> wrote:

Yes, seems to be down at the moment. I know they have just done some major re-jigging there. I've emailed Adam the site admin to ask if he can fix it. We did spend quite some time on this mod, a) trying to get the most realistic physics we could and b) producing competitive AI for ALL the current road course. Dewo's other mods are more fun releases and no great effort was put into modelling real-life physics although the Retro Ford Heat isn't bad. Maxx
