Apparently their is a series over there run by the same group that does them
over here, and they run 1/4 mile ovals, in addition to the Old Spice series
that runs on Brands Hatch, Silverstone and Donnington (among others). I
looked up some sites on the 'net, and found out quite a bit! Over here it's
mainly 1/4 mile ovals.
I knew they had gotten pretty big here in the US, judging by the big fields
at races I've been to in C***te, but had no idea that they had gone
"across the pond" and in such a big way. That's really cool. I imagine one
of these would be really fun to drive at some of the road courses.
Hey, now we need a Legends Car sim, with the 1/4 miles AND the road courses
:-)
