My first memory from LFS is from circa 2003 T1 at Blackwood with mouse steering and a very yellowish tint


I remember finding it the strangest feeling (mouse steering), however rewarding enough to continue trying to perfect the craft. Also remember showing it to my older brother and both trying to figure out how to do a clean lap with mouse (offline).

I was maybe too young (<20 years old) to truly enjoy the game and therefore my brother was the one who kept playing (in the times of one computer per household), and later online racing.

Few years pass by and when S2 came along that's when I joined online racing... I still can't remember the name of my first account, neither the email, unfortunately.

My brother was the first to buy S2, but I was the first to upgrade to S3, so I guess we are even.

Not entirely on topic but, I remember, maybe in 2008, me and my father (kart mechanic in the 80's) sitting at the computer while he was explaining me what to change in the setup to make it faster around Blackwood. Specifically to perform better at the corner before the underpass (before the last turn) only to realize that once we improved that corner another corner, that wasn't an issue, suddenly became harder to take it as fast as before...fun times!
