"IRL Net Race Live users will Race Against the Pros starting at Indy
500"
Its the IRL.. No such thing as Pros!! <VBG> LOL
"Net Race Live is the first and only online *** network that
allows gamers to compete head-to-head in actual race events."
To me, this sounds more like you are racing against data being sent to
you from the actual race, thus you are not really competing head to head
vs. other sim racers.
1) If you are racing against LIVE data.... you ARENT WATCHING THE IRL
RACE. Smooth marketing move from a series that has 9 viewers to begin with
<G>
2) Technically, this is nothing more than glorified AI since all you
are really doing is racing against actual racing telemetry. If you run
into one of the other racers... do they crash and leave the IRL event??
There is no interaction between the racers from what I can tell.
Not meaning to bash it, but this doesn't really sound like 'sim racing'
to me. Its more 'interactive entertainment' than 'sim racing'. I
personally distinguish the two.

Your absolutely right Don, and I might repeat what you said but oh well ;).
While Golfing is a good idea, since it's a passive sport where you are
competting against the course where other golfers do the same as you. You
cannot change how Tiger will play.
While racing, what happens when you bump into people ? Or if they swerve
left, while your on the inside. In real life there was nobody on his
inside, that's why he went there. I simply cannot see how they can
replicate the drivers, and incorpore accurate AI. Just think at Talladega,
it's impossible.
It will be canned, extremely.
But all that hype might only mean that they will send you the qualifying
results, so you will race against them but the only thing is that they will
have the correct grid, and that's all. It will probably be such a thing.
Very machiavellian mind twisting if so.
