1. N2002/N2003 - My introduction to online racing, haven't played anything better yet.
2. Indy 500 - On a 286 IBM, with a relatively huge monitor (19" I think) and the ugly pink CGA colors. First racing game I ever played. Only later I realized it was by the same company as N2002 etc. Dunno how I actually managed to make a fast setup at that age, all I remember is that I was able to fight for the win, and when I actually managed to win, it was great.
3. V-Rally - On Playstation 1. This was lots of fun on splitscreen.
I rarely browse the boards and I had totally forgotten that you can log in with your LFS username, so I had created a new forum account...
Certain teams might have a team painter, who paints cars for many different sims, and who doesn't want to buy all of them. Or, one might just enjoy painting them for fun.
