Thats how my first contact was Computer Totaal (magazine) had a copy of LFS believe also in 2002.
I played like 2 weeks and remembered the game in 2005. In 2007 I needed to register for buying S2. Believe before demo there was no registration.
My memories 2002 or 3 maybe played one day or week and then nothing.
Then remembered the game in 2005 I believe and DSR (dark side racing) and Apexi where my favo servers. Had some more but still remember Camino complaning about me and back then 33's where rare but I did 33's.
Just an idea. Maybe release new version with only the finished tracks.
Offcourse I don't know if Scawen allready ready for that.
I mean new tyre physics netcode and dx11
