I've barely said two words about WSC or WRL.......ever. I just never felt
inclined to discuss something in detail that was so far away.

It sounds to me like it will be a reality, and probably an excellent
product, although there better be more to the core game then just one car
and a couple of tracks for $100+.

To be honest though, the lighter wise cracks about the game and it's future
don't bother me a bit simply because the, "I've been supporting you Chris
and Tony since you were writing code as fetuses, and everyone who hasn't
should be kicked out of our little family---WE'VE shown them now, haven't
WE?" posts are nauseating. I've read them here and at the WRL forum.

If I were the West brothers I'd be getting a little freaked out by the way
some people on the internet want to desperately attach themselves to the
project and act like rock star groupies because they talked to them or
corresponded with them through e-mail. Maybe they ought to consider hiring
body guards.

GP4 ? Straight from hell, well my copy of GP4 has   666 on the inside
flap which certainly suggests something quite evil !!!   lol

People, People, People,, its amazing we all share a similar interest
yet we get along so poorly...

I say yipppie for Racing Legends, and if by some chance I never see
it,, oh well.. I still have GPL   ;-)

Though I have this feeling in my bones I will see it and sooner then
ya think  *grin*

cheers

No, I got a FORD Mondeo this time around, and here I was thinking it

Well I guess you have rather been there before with the Ubisoft patch debacle.
RAS can be pretty hostile to developers and those that have faith in them
delivering the goods. Plus we often see rosey spectacles with other developer's
methods.

You have been fortunate to be involved with developers and become a beta tester.

Some here (myself included) are hopeful that ras could be at least partly
influential in this project, it seems a natural forum to work alongside a
developer. However, we have seen developers been treated pretty badly in the
past, (remember CPR?) so some of us are keen for it not to happen again.

It probably is naive to think we could work as a collective group, though I
would have thought we would have some common objectives.

Rather than a dear Tony & Chris please add me to your beta team, please,
please - I would prefer a more open beta program we can discuss on ras. By the
sound of it this will be the case providing you pay for it. Which will probably
fuel the not paying for something I haven't tried debate all over again! Ah
well, ras is going to busy.

I think that pretty well sums up my feelings on the matter too!

With 20/20 hindsight, I'd have easily paid 100 for GPL back in '99 if I'd
known how much use I'd get out of it. That's not an easy thing to
anticipate, though.

I don't know. I knew I was on to something special the first time I fired up
the demo.

Perhaps our palet is more refined now, but this might work in WRL's favour
if it's as good as claimed.

Hope so. Been wrong before though. I bought 'Warm Up' ;-)

I guess that beta tester's opinions will be an important factor for me.

Well I kinda feel that way also.  My interest has died, but there is still a
heartbeat.  It's why I won't pay a dime until the product is "100% A+ grade
quality approved" by the community.  You know, like GPL, NR2002 and now to a
certain extent F1-2002.

But for that the West Bros. have to show me something more then what they
have done for the past 2.5 years.
