That's how it should be! I just love to see people of all ages get together
to race in some sim series. What this really means is that Papyrus has done an
incredible good job in making those sims as real as possible. The sims even convince very
mature people like Richard Maddox that doesn't usually turn to games. But this is
not a game even though it's great fun. It's very challenging and a really good treat
for any racing fan whatever age. It's just wonderful and I wonder how it all will be
in five or ten years. IndyCar 5.0!! Yes! I'll probably teach my kids IndyCar before
they learn to walk. How will they turn out? ;)

Last night I actually dreamt that I had puncture at Detroit. Really made me sweat.
Horrible, it was!
