You're only insulting your own intelligence.

I'm not really interested in the GTP mod. I guess I'm just too damn
lazy to install it.

Well, I'm a redneck at heart, and while I really like road racing, I'd
honestly rather do it in a stockcar. However, if a mid-60's era LeMans
sim/mod were to come out with all the right cars, I'd buy it.

What is "Escort 1974"?

I'm in the proverbial corner tonight, and I say:
"Any man, getting a sexual response from driving a car, should not do
the same, because it would contaminate his driving and judgements (and
pants)."

NASCAR is a "made-for-TV" sport

Green flag
wreck /or/ debris on track /or/ any other flimsy excuse to throw the yellow
(the leader got too far ahead??)
COMMERCIAL
Green flag
yellow
COMMERCIAL
etc.....

All major American sports are also "made-for-TV" sports, baseball, football,
basketball with the # of timeouts allowed.

F1, soccer, and other world-wide sports don't have
"built-in-commercial-breaks"

LFS is probably the best thing going in simracing right now, it's just
most people don't realise it.

Fantastic sim with great physics particularly when you consider there
is just 3 people behind it.

The Formula XR is great but I agree about the GTR cars being a little
hard to handle however the 4WD model is really nice and tame once you
get used to it and perhaps tweak the setup a little, you can get into
some fun controllable slides.

That, and the fact I can drive one pretty much anytime I want. Racing
Ford Escorts is about as exciting to me as the thought of racing a mid
80's Plymouth Reliant K-car.

I would give it a try, but the GTR demo didn't impress me enough to buy
the full game.

If you like to road race, it's worth the trouble. I know you're more
of a NASCAR fan so I couldn't blame you if you didn't bother. 2 years
from now don't be surprised if I'm telling you the same thing about the
stock cars in iRacing tho.

What I didn't like about LFS S1 is the 'Unreal Tournement On Wheels'
feeling I got when I raced online. Also the tracks were boring. Is
this better with LFS S2?

Cheers!

LOL! In my limited S2 experience (paid not demo) it
hasn't changed, that's why I gave up online again
quickly. Nice sim shame about (some of) the drivers.

That's probably very unfair, but I've always found the
LFS "scene" to be rather immature. If there was a mod for
adding expensive hi-fi systems and extra spoilers to the
cars I'm sure it'd be *very* popular. :-)
