Le Mans on driving game?

[pcowen]

What is the best driving game that features the Le Mans track, if any and what console can you play them on?

Many thanks

GT4 on the PS2 (not sure if it plays on the PS3)
AFAIK this is the only game that has this track.
The force-feedback going down Mulsanne ruined my wheel

It will play on a 60Gb PS3 but not on the 40Gb.

You can download it for GTR/GTR 2/GTL and as far as I remember rFactor as well.
The map's pretty good, I'd like one (and will look later) that doesn't have the Chicane's down the Mulsanne though...

The best Le Mans in a game was back on the Test Drive Le Mans for the Dreamcast.

This is by far the best version of the Le Mans track that I have seen http://www.virtua-lm.com/lemans/index.php

The Virtua_LM group spent bloody ages making a 1972-1986 version of the Lemans Track, which is rather ace. http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Le%20Mans%201972%2D1986 
Need some decent Group C monsters to drive it properly though!

"Circuit de la Sarthe" on GT4 in case you can't see it.

Excellent track.

There's also a Le Mans game for the PS2, but it's pretty old and the graphics are pretty ropey by modern standards.

Don't suppose there's any chance that would work on GTL?

The absolute truth.

Will there be a LM for Forza 2? I heard rumours a while back

Not sure about that, but I wouldn't be at all suprised if it did work... They all share the same file format, and use the same engine. Surely someone's already tried it.


EDIT:
Scrub that...they don't use the same format. Someone would have to convert it somehow.

Hmmm might have to have a look into that
Hope it works on GTR2 as well!

VirtuaLM's Le Mans is for rFactor only, no conversions have been allowed.

Le Mans will feature in gran torismo 5 on ps3

but it's not released until the end of march

the track was being used on the Audi stand at the mph show

it will also feature 16 player online lobby's should make the first corner

very interesting

[sstein]

With no damage it will be bumper cars.

200mph bumper cars

on the GT4 version what is the longest stint anyone has driven on the 24hr mode . would be interesting to drive a virtual race with driver teams !!

still have to attempt Nurburgring / Le mans 24hr on GT4.

I think I did 9 hours to make sure that b spec bob had could finish it without losing me the race. IIRC "he" was going 4-10 seconds a lap slower than me and I was about 8 a lap faster than the AI cars
