I agree. I think that my favorite racing game ever was Need for Speed SE (long, long ago). While it wasn't realistic, it had mostly winding country roads and freeway tracks, rather than the usual "race tracks" that most sims use these days. Racing along a mountain road with traffic moving in both directions is great fun. Unfortunately, I don't think LFS could match this experience since there is no support for this type of traffic model as far as I know.
