Le Mans 24

I keep hearing about a new PC racing sim called "Le Mans 24" or something of this sort, which is scheduled for release this November, but I don't know anything more about it, i.e. by who or what it's all about. The most pressing question on my mind is whether there's a 100-percent race distance feature on it - just what I always wanted: 24 hours of uninterrupted racing - ouch, my poor eyes! So if anyone out there can provide me with some info, or maybe even a website that has screenshotsn or reviews of it, it'd be more than thankful.

hehe - that's a little extreme huh <BG> it could be very cool if they included an option for computer/real teammates to drive in shifts like they do - can't imagine anyone actually being able to RACE 24 hours straight even on a computer sim... could be wild tho'

It looks like February 2000 has been posted for it's new release date. 24 hour races can be done in parts by saving the game state at pit stops. There was some early concern that there would be no***pit view, we may see a bonnet view though. Everything I've seen so far points to it being a Playstation game first ported to the PC. Andi.

SCGT has the AI codriver feature now, and with 155 real world cars available in a huge/massive/reallyreallybig download created by Gunslinger.(just don't use netscape to dload the sp 3.0) dave henrie

In the 1950s, someone (I think it was Stirling Moss) drove about 23,5 out of 24 hours at Le Mans. And he won. So, it IS possible.... greetings, Han ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- drs. H.G.R.

I think one guy designed and built his own car. He then tried to do the entire race alone. He lead for somthing like 23hrs 40mins and then crashed through fatigue! poor bloke! Marc

Actually Marc..... he did a lot better than that.... :) In 1950 Louis Rosier drove his Talbot Lago to victory... driving almost all of the 2153.121 miles himself.......... His team-mate Jean-Louise Rosier drove *ONE* lap! He also managed to average 89.71 mph over the 24 hours, whilch was a new record! Not bad - eh? :) -- All the best, Edwin Solheim *remove SPAM-GUARD in address to reply* The Paddock - a legendary site.... <http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock> *** Proud member of the GPLEA *** > I think one guy designed and built his own car.

I think it was Pierre Leveigh who almost made it NOT Stirling Moss. The year was 1954. In 1955 Pierre was hired by Mercedes to drive at Lemans. Unfortunately, he collided with a slower car on the Pit straight, 82 spectators....
