I`m with you Ronny, having an attractive license like CART, and not
using it is a rotten way to treat your fans, may be good business (it
most certainly is) to sit on it, but it sucks, especially since they did
a very good one in ICR2 and have an incredible game engine in GPL to
make it even better.

Hope they change their mind :-(

Know what you mean (Yawn). What with GPL and a baby - not sure which is the
most demanding!

   Yes forward my vote to Papyrus for CART!  I'd rather see CART 2
(icr3) than N3.

You've made some pertinent points, Michael.
Ten years ago the type of people who are involved in projects such as
"The Sim Project" would have banded together, produced a racing
simulation, found a publisher and, riding on the huge success of the end
product, would have registered themselves as "Papyrus."

Ironic, isn't it?

Not that it would do much good.  I think what will do some good is if
GPL really sells well (though I think NASCAR3 will and can out sell
GPL).  Then, the bean counters may re-evaluate the situation and give
Papyrus some more money to get a team together.  

The real shame is that having tasted the fruit of GPL and then have CART
kicked from the garden really hurts!  I mean a CART sim that would put
all other such sims to shame (and I am including all of Papy's CART sims)!

God, what the hell did we do to to you to deserve this?  I guess we
should all change our names to Job.... ???

   You know, this just does not add up for me. If Papy's resources are
limited then why would they spend the dollars on the CART License.
Papy's resources dwindling????? LOL. I am begining to think this whole
thing is just nonsense to be honest! I am not saying that Marc is
pulling our leg, but I think somewhere up the info chain there is a
little leg pulling going on.

Papyrus is currently planning on releasing the sequel to CART Racing
sometime in 1999.  The as-yet-unnamed product will be based on the
physics system that will debut in Grand Prix Legends.

As always, I'm more than happy to do my best to confirm or deny any
rumors that arise concerning Papyrus products. (although I obviously
can't always comment on everything) I am just an email away.

Thank goodness.  Mike, you just saved this ng several millions of dollars in
Prozac!

Now that the conjecture is over, who's going to be the first to moan about how
loooooooong the wait is going to be?

I think we should all thank Mike for clearing this up. This is great news,
although as always it will not come fast enough for this impatient group.

Papyrus remains tops IMHO

Hurrah!  That's jolly good news, Mike.  Delighted to hear it.  Fantastic in
fact.  Now say the word "telemetry" over and over and over until you are
brainwashed into doing something about it. :-)
