Does Gran Turismo come in PC-format, in any version. TIA UN

Wow! Given its amazing configurability, seems unbelievable that steering null-zone and st.linearity can't be adjusted (unless I missed something). Physics model is interesting - acceleration seems VERY limited for race machines and it's impossible to induce any kind of power slide. It's the opposite of CMR3, in which cars pivot in the middle - giving the experience of what it must be like to ride a 300BHP unicycle/jet-powered iceberg. So, LFS gives credible but excessively limited handling - while CMR3 gives irritatingly uncredible handling that's way out there. Of course, CMR3 graphics are incomparable, but LFS isn't too bad - given the probable difference in production budgets.

The Caterham-clone cars will make you eat those words... :-) Stephen

Sounds like you've just tried the Front wheel drive GTi type cars? I find even the "entry level" rear wheel drive machines quite tail happy. Regards, Mark
