	Been having fun racing with my son on a LAN, just got totally sick of starting up LFS and seeing the message "UNLOCK LIVE FOR SPEED". Seems totally unpredictable, no idea what causes it to be locked again sometimes. Random glitches! I'm stuck on the older PC which is a PIII 550 with a Hercules 8500, so can't run Netkar which needs DX9, GPL still a bit too advanced for him (only 7yrs) Anyone like to recommend a good alternative?

Random glitches! It's only supposed to need unlocking again if you change hardware, although I guess driver changes or firmware upgrades could trigger it. Do you have any errant hardware in that PC (eg plug & play stuff keeps coming up at startup etc)?

Best suggestion for something 'better than arcade but not too hardcore with multiplayer' that'll run comfortably on that spec is Viper Racing (Sierra). Great sim with arcade, int & pro physics options & a really cool damage model that a 7YO can go nuts with. The Intermediate physics are much like lfs, the pro physics are on a par with gpl etc in terms of difficulty so it would give your son a learning curve. Needs a patch for win2k/XP to work iirc, if you find that you'll also find loads of add-on cars & a few tracks too. Malc.

That was a lot of fun way back when. The advantage of these is that any decent PC can easily manage them with all eye-candy etc. SODA was also really fun, but was quite tempermental, and I can't remember if there was an easier physics model that would be suitable for someone younger. I remember it being quite challenging. Another that might be good for LAN racing is monster truck madness. I found that quite fun and easy to drive, and the monster truck bit might appeal to kids.

	Monster Truck Madness... Now that was good fun. That and Screamer Rally we used to play on a Lan for hours.. What about NFS Porche? Didn't need to quick a pc and probably one of the last good games in the NFS series.. Scott

You could try Sports Car GT, but I donґt know if it supports LAN. Mercedes-Benz Truck Racing is great for LAN-racing. Played it on a PIII ~800 with a Voodoo 5. Your GFX-card should suit the game better because auf T&L, so the PIII 550 should be fast enough to run it. Stephan

I haven't used Viper Racing for some time & most of my links are dead but RSC would be a good place to start.
