No idea.  Can-Am series sorta died a horrid death, but there are some other
things such as the American Lemans, and whatever sportscar league Bill
France is trying to put together.

There seems to be a similiar game coming out along the same theme from
Empire. There is some info and some screenshots on this site if you scroll
down the news section a little http://racers.qgl.org/

Now THIS is a game that should be fantastic if they produce it with
the desired effects and graphics!  Take a look at:

http://www.empire.co.uk/ects/wsc.htm

As that is the page link he is refferring to. THIS is how Papyrus
needs to work!

Just today they announced the creation of the Grand-Am sports car series.
Just what we needed,another competing series with the American Lemans
series.  All this can mean is smaller fields and less sponsorship.

WOW!  From the screenshots it looks better than SCGT.  Hopefully it will hold
up to that standard.

    You're not the only waiting for this sim. But the one that I'm really
looking forward to is the Can-Am 1970

Looks really good.  Now if they can match those screenshots with a very
flexible and highly controllable control system [which allows multiple
controllers with multiple axises and buttons], a high quality networking
codebase and excellent driving model, then they might have a winner. :)

Joel,

I wouldn't worry about it too much.  The Grand Am series rules prevent the
manufacturers in Le Mans from competition and they also have a rule that keeps
the Panoz out of the series.  So I wouldnt count out the American Lemans series
and Panoz.

However... I would love to have seen the return of the North American Touring
Cars.

What is an "American Lemons" series?
Do they have races for old Ford Edsels and suchlike? :o)

Oh!  You mean "Le Mans"?   Sorry!

    Indeed, though the Edsels have unfortunately been relegated to the
paddock in favor of those silly little Ferrari 333SP's and BMW LMR V12's.
:-)  God bless Don Panoz (even if he does build the ugliest cars in
motorsport).  Just spent last Saturday at Road Atlanta for the Petit Lemans
10hr/1000mi race, and I can still hear those shrieking Judd V10's.  Heck,
the sight of the Pilsner Urquell girls patrolling the pits in yellow spandex
was alone worth the price of admission.  Hope Eddie Jordan's getting a
commission!
    BTW, the series is expanding in 2000 to include some odd-sounding furrin
spots, one by the name of Adelaide (on Dec. 31, with some big date-related
party to follow).  In fact, Oz's premier, John Olsen was the race marshal at
Atlanta.
    Get your Edsel Flags ready!

Cheers,

Steve B.

Might I add (for those of you who know a good racing series when you see
it),
the ALMS is also going to hold 2 races in Europe next season.  Venues are
TBA but the dates are set - both in May.   Next year's gonna be a ball for
sportscars-fans...  first 2 ALMS races in May and then the big one in June
at La Sarthe...   Man I cant wait!!!
