I think it is disgusting that Papy repackaged ICR2 called it
something different (amazing similar to CPR), and is trying
to sell it like it is something new. I wonder how many unsuspecting
people think this is ICR3? I was almost fooled into thinking is was
CPR. The box covers look very similar with the CART logo all
over the place.
So papy, who are ya crappin with that?

If you follow real racing at all you may be aware of the "Indy Racing
League." Since the IRL is owned by the same folks who own Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, this organization owns the rights to everything
"Indy." The IRL and CART have had an ongoing fued/legal battle for
over two years (maybe you missed it). Because Sierra/Payrus has a
licensing agreement with CART, not the IRL, they had to change the
name of the game as a consequence of the IRL-CART battle over
licensing issues.
To the best of my knowledge Sierra/Papyrus has never claimed that CART
Racing is a new game. In fact, the most recent issue of their
"magalog" clearly states that CART Racing was formerly called ICR 2
and the copy describing CART Racing makes no attempt to mislead the
customer.

Not really - apparently not even Tony George (or anyone for that
matter) can use the name IndyCar for several years...Indy Racing
League is a whole different deal.

* List price is only $30, not what you'd expect to pay for a brand new
sim ($50 or more). (BTW, CompUSA has got it on sale for $25 through
Dec. 6.)
* The package contains a $10 rebate, good through 2/28/97. So the
effective list price is now only $20.
* The package includes a 200 page handbook by Steve Smith. Very good
stuff in there! To me, this alone is worth buying the package for
(and at $25-10 = $15 for the handbook, I don't think you can say its
not a fair value for the book alone).
* The box is clearly marked that its a reissue. Aside from labeling
it "NOT Microsoft CART Precision Racing" is 144 point type, *some*
people are going to be fooled anyways. ;)
Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking... Did he complain
to five or six postmasters last month? Now, you must ask yourself one
question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do you, punk?
