You don't need one, you can play with an Xbox/PS controller. In fact, I'm one of the faster drivers, and I use a keyboard only.

Yes, I'll make that clear in the original post. But you will have to make a pitstop, whether you want to or not, to balance the advantage.

Yes, indeed. Mind you, last time we did this, there were only 2 cars.

LFS is very easy on your computer, especially at low settings. I was able to play it on my ancient Thinkpad, so you should be fine as long as you have an i3 or the AMD equivilant. The joystick is great if you know how to use it.

You still in to play?

To add to this, my 7~8 y/o Toshiba laptop, with a Celeron M clocked at 1.4 ghz, 1 gb ram and ATI 300M graphics was able to run LFS no issue when I had XP installed.

You just need to lower the graphics far enough.
