Le Mans for the PC

Infogrames is porting the Playstation game "Le Mans 24-hour" to the PC, according to GameSpot. It will feature 12 tracks (huh? I'd have thought Le Mans was THE track), 70 cars, and a physics model that wouldn't tax your grandmother.

But isn't this the game that came out on PC ages ago, it's still on my shelf. A bit of fun but nothing to write home about. Andi. "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:DPqA8.35$[email hidden]...

No, a seperate team of developers developed a console version of it totally different from the PC version. It has pretty good physics for a console game, but it definitely won't stack up to our sims we have now. Quite fun though. (I have it on Dreamcast BTW) Thanks, Alex "Andi Cole" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aauh5f$j02$[email hidden]...

(I have it on Dreamcast BTW) If you guys want a Prototype racer, then this may whet your whistle....one of my league members sent this link to me...I haven't tried it yet...but they do have a pretty fast server. http://sportscarsm.racesimcentral.com/f1index.html dave henrie

Dave, Alison Hine tells me she's quite smitten with this GT-car "mod" for F12001. Apparently Doug Arnao (one of the GPL beta testers and a fine real-world racer) has had a hand in the development. Since the "new, improved" version of the game (F1 2002) is due out in a few weeks, maybe this could be a serviceable version of WSC until the real thing comes along. That is to say, IF the real thing EVER does come along. --Steve Smith "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rV%A8.48896$D%5.12228@sccrnsc01...

Wow, Dave, thanks for that link. I tried a few laps around Spa in the Audi earlier this evening, very impressive! This is exactly what I have been wanting ever since SCGT. Now we just need Mosport, Road Atlanta, or Laguna Seca for F1 2001, and I will completely forget about WSC!
