  from the autoracing1 website under hotnews comes this item.....
(snip)...

 After dodging this drama, he stocked up on fireworks for tomorrow's New
Year's celebration, then did what any good racing driver would do to kick
off a vacation - head for the nearest computer and spend several hours
playing the Papyrus NASCAR 4 simulation. If only there were a current Champ
Car simulation game to keep him occupied.  Actually, CART is close to
signing a deal for a new 'true' simulation game for the PC, though
procrastination has delayed the game from hitting the shelves until the
start of the 2003 season.  Of course if CART were wise, it would have it on
the shelves in time for Christmas 2002 season to take advantage of the
obvious benefit.  We talked about branding below.  Computer games help do
that, if they are done correctly, if not, like many CART games before, they
quickly become shunned by the market segment that buys these products.  We
hear the recent Sony Playstation 2 game called 'CART Fury' has gotten bad
reviews.  Did CART shoot off another toe because of this?  BTW, Memo Gidley
has tested a beta version of the new CART simulation and gave it a two
thumbs up.

   I don't read canceled but the delayed timing could be worrysome if CART
has another bad PR year like 2001.

Another full year of patience...(if they will not cancel it)
