Well how much more are you willing to pay for your copy?
And how much more do you think everyone else is willing to pay?

--

I think the reason given was because of the new circuit that is going to
compete with Indy next year, has the rights to the track at Indy.

They do have a GOOD answer.  Unfortunately, it's not the answer you
want.  The answer you want is "Okay, here they are".

        Maybe it is money.  How much extra are you and everyone who
bought it willing to pay extra to get the additional track?  The Toronto
Indy is an 'Indy' so that could be reason why they are called Indy cars.
 Just because the Indy 500 isn't there is no reason to doubt the name.
I personally believe that it is licensing.  If you were a suit at the
speedway, would you give the name away for cheap?
        And the reason that Daytona isn't included with Nascar, and hold
on to your joysticks here, is that Sega already has the licensing for it
and don't want to give it up!  Sega!!!

No smoke screen. We can't use a track if we can't get the license for it.
Though I am not aware of the terms, my understanding is that the terms
imposed on us by IMS are too restrictive for it to be worth our while.

And as for Daytona, Sega owns the exclusive license to Daytona. My
understanding is that the license is up for renewal next year. Until then,
there will be no Daytona for NASCAR.

The Indianapolis 500 is no longer apart of IndyCar racing!  Please make
sure you understand that before you post anything else.  Is is not part
of the schedule nor is Phoenix or New Hampshire for upcoming schedule.

Also keep in mind that Sega has licensing rights to Daytona even though
their GAME has nothing to do with DAYTONA.  It is simply a GAME.  But
what doesn't make sense is that the NASCAR boys have sold their game
rights to a Japanese company.  Meanwhile the Papyrus SIM has everything
to do with NASCAR.

Who the hell are you to accuse a major software company of lying to you, me
and all the other game players?  If you'd actually listen and believe people
for what they are, you'd know that licensing rights are the problem.  Want
proof?  Indy is owned by a committee that is starting the Indy Racing League.
IndyCar is in a battle; therefore, the Indy 500 may not be on the IndyCar
schedule.  As for Daytona, Sega holds the rights to it.  Now; SHUT UP!

Rick, Just wondering.  I guess licensing is on a game-by-game basis?
After all, you DID have the Indy Expansion Pack for ICR.  You couldn't
possibly use that version you already had permission to use somehow?

BTW, welcome back.  Lots of people missed you.

Ron (Buckster Express)---------->

   I seem to be confused.

   I have the program Indianapolis 500 that appears to have the Indy track
 and is by a group called Papyrus.

   If they already use the track, why can't they use the track in my
 IndyCar ?

Yep.

BTW, welcome back.  Lots of people missed you.

Thanks. You should have seen my e-mailbox when I came back. Took me 9
hours to clean it up (and catch up on the 971 postings in
rec.auto.simulators).
