If you had anything to do with the physics and sound, I applaud your
efforts with F1-2001 :-D Now if you could get into online racing more
and use a FF wheel, CART would be fantastic ;-)

My thoughts exactly. Since this will probably be the LAST CART product we
ever see they had better make it expandable so we can run the 2003 season
with NO engines. Are you listening JB? make sure that's on the 'to-do'
list.

Dude you stole my joke. I was going to say that the game should be
expandable for 2003. Smaller fields, no motors, kinda like the *** version
of the soap box derby cars. Let's hope CART's involvment with the sim is
minimal, otherwise they might insist the game runs on a 486 with 48megs of
RAM and 2Meg video Card, since they have gotten so adapt at pissing people
off and shooting themselves in the foot at the same time.

The real question is whether there will be a CART series to make a
game of. Good thing you picked 2002 as 2003 looks pretty questionable
unless they use soap-box derby style downhill gravity racing...

Jeff,
I agree...CART seems to be committing suicide by some of the stupid
moves they're pulling these days. What are they thinking? But imagine
if all the CART teams go to the IRL, the pack will consist of 40+ cars
on a race weekend! :) Honestly though, I'm seriously questioning if
I'll watch even 1 CART race next year....<sigh>.

Why not watch ? This is a time when the real fan must not give
up. The world is never black and white, and so are not the reasons for
CART's problems either. As far as I understand, it's a combination of
too many boards in CART, engine manufacturers and sponsors who are
there because of promotional budgets for the north american market and
the old indy500 ghost. Specially the problem about teams wanting to go
to the IRL (what are THEY thinking?) is because their sponsor wan't
more exposure in the north american market, and the only place they
can get that is at the indy500, and the sponsors acutally dislike the
huge success CART is internationally today. It's it just ironic that
CART's demise is because it got too popular outside america ?

Good post Olav, us fans must not jump ship just yet, after all-there is no
*real* alternative anyway. CART will live!!

Yes, we have to have a little faith in CART..I agree. The only way I
could or would become an IRL fan would be if they would run road
courses. CART needs a leader that has "been there-done that" so to
speak. Maybe I'm nuts for thinking this....but I wish Rahal would've
stayed as head of CART. CART needs someone who truly understands
racing, not a businessman to whom racing is a foreign concept. But as
Oval said, there's too many problems to nail it down to just one. Don't
get me wrong, you could hardly call me an IRL fan. The IRL has it's own
problems, just look at the sponsors it's lost this year and past years.

If CART can iron out it's problems, then CART fans may have another
problem. With the changes looming at Speedvision, what can we expect as
far as coverage goes in the coming years? God knows ABC and ESPN have
both blown it with their coverage.
