Skip Barber can handle the Barber Dodge and possibly the Toyota Atlantic
stuff,  ICR2 could take on the CART & Indy Lights.  Who would want to
model a league for has-beens and never-will-bes?   (My apologies to Buddy
Lazier, who perhaps got the short shift from CART...  Funny, it seems
like the best IRL drivers are...  washed up CART drivers...)

If you guys are looking for betatesters, I'm free. And cheap too. ;)

Ah, maybe you should change that to "pencilled in" so that they can set the
date back with less fuss when it becomes necessary. Don't get me wrong, I
love what I've seen of WSC, and am really looking forward to the full
release, but with the tiny team working on it, I'm not optimistic about
release dates. :-(

But I'm even cheaper than Greger Huttu ;-)
And I am a perfectly *normal* driver, unlike Greger!
I really hope that Historic Rally Trophy will become the GPL of rally
racing... (Very good physics + nostalgia = racing dream)
Bugbear people, the pressure is on your backs now. (grin)
cheers

Naturally, we hope for the same thing.. ;)

I have this horrible itch of comparing the graphics to the latest big
sim out there but considering the number of posts related to that
particular game and all the praise it's getting, I'd probably get
***ed by a very angry mob. *g*

And I believe it'll be JoWood who will handle the beta testing.
