The official site of this game has just started to work and after looking through the pages I have to say that the game looks really good. Check it out here: www.lemans-game.com

I´m talking, of course, about the PC version. I´ve tried the PSX mode and it was like most console games: pretty bad, but I don´t trust PSX games to make a veredict about its PC version.

When is this game avaible? It looks really cool from all the screenshots.

I like the car with the Marlboro V signs. I am suprised they would let them place that on there, in France or on a video game.

Both are already out for sale. The PSX came out like a month ago but the PC version did it on the 12th of January.

I agree, looks pretty good. Has anybody tried the PC version and what are the requirements to run it. Who's the nut who will do a 24 hour race?

Done with the big teams, GO MINARDI!!!

I'm sorry to inform that Le mans 24 hours SUCKS. I know this is personal. But it's just an arcade game with nice graphics. Nothing interesting for people who like simulations. If you go to techware.gtinsider.com you'll find a 'review' there which if spot on. Excactly the way I felt about the game. It looked very promising but failed to deliver, like way too many pc racing 'sims' :(.

Look out for World Sports Car. That's gonna be a PURE simulation. Preview at www.simracingnews.com.

Well, if it's like Test Drive 5, it'll still be pretty fun :) Besides, driving 24 hours "straight" (I'll use the save option) will be a good challenge...
