It was certainly not LFS. I can recall the game, but can't recall the name. I think it did include some rallycross, and was just demo from some Hungarian game developer team? I will not recall it, it's way too long ago. But I remember it, was a bit fun (and torture) to use the mouse gears, certainly not good for competitive racing like in league, but it was fun to try it out.

Yes! I don't remember the developers, but it was a mixture of on and off-road racing.

The shifting was tough, but it was a unique experience.

Enviro-Bear 2000, the realistic simulation of a bear driving a car, has changing gears via mouse.

LOL. Looks amazing, but not the one I'm looking for.

Thanks Razor. I looked there already and I don't think it was in that list. I think that whatever game this was, didn't make it out of a demo state because I vaguely remember racing the same 1 or 2 tracks over and over, with limited cars.

Hey guys- About 15 years ago, I fell in love with a PC racing game that allowed you to use your mouse as a virtual gearshift (meaning you literally move your mouse to the different gear positions).

Was this LFS? Anyone know what game this was? I'm desperately trying to find it.
