The US TV announcers kept commenting about how fast Montoya was on a track
(Brazil) he has never been on. I have heard that he is a big fan of driving
games, but I wonder if that's why he was fast at Brazil? I remember
Villenueve said he learned Spa with a computer driving sim.
My friend that is in the auto racing business thinks that all video/computer
games are stupid and a waste of time. I would like to prove him wrong about
the driving sims :)

Last time i heard, GPL was Montys favorite racing sim.
Im guessing monty is probably using F1CS and/or some PSX F1 game now.
He used to play GP2 also......

Villenueve learned Spa by playing GP2 IIRC.

I don't know about JPM but Verstappen probably used Midtown Madness for
training...

Dale.

I have an issue of Incite (May 2000 #6) game magazine that has an interview
with Juan Montoya. Juan states that he used CART Precision Racing to learn
all the tracks in his first year of CART racing. His favorite however is
Grand Prix 2 which he has played since it's original release. This article
came out just before GP3 was released and he mentioned he couldn't wait for
it's release. He made no mention of GPL at all in the article. In fact he
mentioned that he really enjoyed Ferrari F355 Challenge because of it's
realistic feel.

My guess is he's been using GP3 for his F1 debut.

   I think it is another case of one league taking care of it's own.  As
long as
JPM was not a threat to the big guns..then they left him alone.  Now that he
has shown himself to be a threat....keep looking for those out of the points
to accidently make contact with him.
  If Jacques last name was ANY thing but Villenueve, I think he never would
have
finished enough races to win the WC.

No way.

While certainly the drivers will do kamikaze moves to win the World
Championship (Senna vs Prost, M Shumi vs J Villie), I cannot believe a
driver not racing for position would shunt another to 'protect their
own'. That is just too pathetic a reason. Maybe in another, under less
pressure, category of racing, but not F1.

"Michael R Sisson> While certainly the drivers will do kamikaze moves to win
the World
  Karl Wedlinger Vs Michael Andretti....at least 3 times in the first half
of the season.
(if memory serves)  Gil De Ferran vs the IRL backmarker.  Robbie Gordon and
Tony Stewart VS the rest of Nascar.
Why not F1...the supposed 'pinnacle' of motorsports.  If a driver from
another established league begins to have sucess against the established
drivers...then the prestige of being an F1 pilot is deminished.
  Aryton Senna punching Eddie Irvine after Eddie unlapped himself as a
rookie...
Those are just off the top of me noggin'   I put NOTHING past anyone when
the stakes
($$$$) are so incredibly high.
