I still don't understand the idea of driving a full length race if you
aren't going to sit down and drive the whole race.  The entire concept
of 400 to 600 mile races is that it tests endurance, both of the car
and driver.  It's sort of like complaining because Mobil 1 Rally
Championship doesn't let you save in the middle of a stage.

Indeed. Why anyone would elevate N3 and NL above N2k3 due to the latter
not having a save option is beyond me.

Really? So what you were thinking wasn't what you were typing, maybe.

Because, to some of us who have a life and appreciate what reality really
means, these things are games; they are there to provide entertainment when
WE want to be entertained.

I would prefer (note that I did not make a demand) to be able to run a
full-length race when MY priorities allow me to partake in a *** session,
whether it be of twenty minutes or an hour or so.

The entire concept of a 400 to 600 mile race in real life - note, REAL
LIFE - is that one undertakes the commitment to do so.
But then, the person so-doing has most likely not just come home from a
12-hour stretch at work, is not taking care of a couple of kids, is not
preparing dinner and probably does what he or she does for a living, not in
order to relax and shrug off the daily trials and tribulations.

So when I say that, to me, a racing sim that allows for a race to be saved
mid-stream is my preference, it is a statement of preference, nothing more.

So all of you pedants, you "sim-snobs" who look down their noses at anyone
who could ever get enjoyment out of anything which is less than 100%
realistic, please remember that, when you're sitting there with your
fireproof Nomex racing suits and your desk-mounted ultra-fabulous feedback
wheels and pedals, you are simply in a greater state of pretence than am I.

Bruce.

Does the term "top posting" refer to my brilliant repartee or.....??
Sorry, you've lost me with that term. Is it Pommy slang or what?

And a "***" down here refers to the female sex organ, so at least I can
consider myself quite desirable, Gerry. Thanks for the compliment, old chap.

Well, Mark, it depends on whether or not you are the psychiatrist or the
patient.
