IMHO even if the gameplay was similar there really isn't any need for some kind of compeition or mod bashing. Just run your own race
Kind of a bad anology there cause its about compeition, but you get the idea if you've heard the expression before
I mod because a) I like to create this b) I like to play video games and c) I need to practice my programming
so I don't feel a need to compare myself to others or compete in any way.
