So which bit of my reply did you interpret as taking the opposite view, and
where exactly did I praise Nascar drivers for using NR2003 as the previous
poster generalised?

    His PS2 comment was probably just a figure of speach. Surely it'd be GP4
or F1C if not their own in house stuff.

    NR2003 is EXACTLY the same as real life.

"Not in this thread. The major F1 teams have their own highly sophisticated
simulators. Consoles are traditionally arcade in their approach to racing
games with chase view and digital controls as the norm. The two seem to be
a world apart."

Out of the box PS2 sims are a world apart from racing team simulators...

"I believe there has been a fair degree of development of specialist racing
simulators using PC software (including NR2003) and advanced hydraulics
etc. So there may be a closer link between NR2003 and racing team
simulators, although that too is a world apart from what the average simmer
experiences."

Out of the box NR2003 is a world apart from racing team simulators...

Still can't find the praising Nascar drivers bit...

The argument sketch - abridged version

Tony said "X"

JP said "You said Y"

Tony said "No I didn't"

JP said "Yes you did - read it again"

Tony said "No I didn't - look"

JP said: <rolls eyes>  "Ok, you're right, if it's that important to you."

Tony said: "Blimey, don't get much of an argument for a fiver these
days..."

    Gee, the fishin' in here's nowhere near as good as it used to be. Maybe
I'll try these worms.
