LOL, Brett, but.............
both Lego and K'NeX have released, or are about to release racing
simulations!
No, it's true. Well, when I say simulations, I use the word loosely. :-)
For the Lego one see:

and the K'NeX

The Lego game would appear to be a console game and obviously just another
arcade racer whereas the K'NeX version is a primary PC simulation and clearly
a more realistic simulation.
It's also clear that the K'NeX racer has extensive setups options (you build
the whole thing yourself!) :-)
I guess Lego will use the engine they developed for Lego Island. :-)
Now, I would buy either of these titles before I bought NR - well, I have
kids <he adds lamely>
:-)
Cheers.
