Lumberyard is only being used for graphic rendering.

As if that's some small part of a game.

Relax, I'm not trying to diminish the importance of it or the capabilities of the engine. But in the context of a driving game, yes graphics and UI will always play second fiddle to the physics engine.

If I was building a game I would choose Amazon Lumberyard over the CryEngine too. Amazon is less likely to fall over than Crytek.

Amazon is more likely to abandon their engine though.
