No, the fact that some people might think it's the "real" Nurburgring when
said as (Long).

so they should avoid using the correct name, because someone can
mistake for something completely different?

 Ok I see what you are saying.  You are worried that those gullible types,
less intelligent than yourself, might be deluded by the Long conotation into
thinking that the Long Nurburgring circuit is really just that, long.  Of
course you need not have worried because at least here in RAS, your first
point would be groundlessssssssssssssss  :)

Look at the HG press
  So what your saying is, even though you didn't fall for it, others who are
less intelligent and more gullible might have the mistaken idead that
Codemasters actually had a clue?  Of course we appreciate your
well-intentioned correction don't we Franc??

I'm just surprised by the magnitude of the "old" Nurburgring ***. <g>
Think of the great expense and time Codemaster dedicated to this clever
ruse: several months, 56 employees, and several million dollars.  All done
to fool the dozens of fans thinking "old" Nurburgring might be in the box.
Quite a sinister and elaborate plan.  And to think, they ALMOST pulled it
off.  ;0)

Yes, I care about my inferior fellows of this world, the poor people who buy
racing games by looking at the track list on the box  <wink> ;-P
