Holy shit!
That's the equivalent of standing at home plate and pointing to the
centerfield wall before the first pitch.
You can't believe how bad I want you guys to smash that one out of the
park, either! =8^)

> Motorsims Announces SCCA CAN-AM PC Racing Simulation
> Motorsport Simulations today announced the development of SCCA Can-Am,
> an online and retail boxed PC CD-ROM racing simulation. Launching in
> early 2000, this title is the first to be developed under Motorsims
> long-term partnership with the Sports Car Club of America.
> Motorsims goal is to offer racing enthusiasts an exact simulation of
> the road-racing endurance challenges that made the sport one of the
> most popular series of the early 70s. The game will utilize the
> companys proprietary game-engine technology, designed as an online
> *** system and dedicated to the specific demands of racing
> simulations. In Can-Am, famous chassis and engine manufacturers
> combined to create open-air, closed wheel cars. In addition, Motorsims
> will include SCCAs popular SpecRacer Ford series racing as a training
> mode.

So will this be a strictly Glide game or will it allow OpenGL or D3D?
I ask because I have a Voodoo2 right now, but ewould much rather buy a TNT2
Ultra over a Voodoo3 and I don't wanna see my system get hung up on graphics
because the Voodoo2 I have won't cut it.
Sounds like a great sim though, with the weather, hopefully dynamic, it'll blow
the doors off of everything out there if it has what you've said...I'm waiting.

I assume the night racing will be for the current WSC cars.
Same here. I recall watching Bruce McLaren, Jim Hall & others
flying around Laguna Seca back in the Can-Am days. The additon
of these retro-glory cars is a *great* idea for this sim.

I recall Mark Donahue roaring about in a Camaro in the original
Trans-Am series. I owned a Shelby Mustang at the time so I
rooted for Parnelli Jones & George Folmmer (sic) in the Fords.
Ah...those were the days. The GT-350 cost me $4,500...:-)

And the crazy thing was you could rent the GT-350 at select Hertz
locations for only a small premium over other sedans. Imagine going in
today and getting the keys to something like a Saleen Mustang for 50 bucks
a day.
