They sure are, I still have mine, but it's not roadworthy by any stretch
of the imagination, I bought the car in late 95 and it has seen a lot of
abuse since then and the body has all but returned to mother nature....I
guess stiff springs and shocks and frequent abuse on forest stages" as
well as the local track did it's part, but then again, Opel has never
been known to be rust proof...:-), your old 72 probably has less rust
than my 86 :-)

Well, FWIW, my Manta isn't much down on HP to Escort included here and
is probably well up on torque from it's 2.7 engine (courtesy of Mantzel
Opel Tuning :-), and it has also seen a lot of "development" work going
into it's suspension, with progressive raising rate springs, adjustable
Koni's, LSD, harder suspension bushings...etc, and there's just no way
that *I* could have driven it like I can the Escort in RT

This doesn't mean that I think they've gotten it "wrong", or that it's
"arcade", just that it's parameters, or whatever they use to tune the
physics, flatters the driver, I'm very much reminded of NFS:PU when I
drive these cars and find myself being able to take corners in a way I
just can't see myself doing in real life, at least not with as little
seat time as I've had with this one yet, which will increase a lot when
it's released as this is something I'm looking forward to, and I did
what I said in the review, went back to more driving as soon as the
article was done :-), now if I could just get my hands on a version with
the Lancia Fulvia HF in it I'd be a happy man :-)

Beat you this time didn't we :-)

COOL!

I read your post Ilari, on the Act Labs forum that RS Shifter support and
Analog Clutch are in the plan as well.  I hope everything is going well with
the development to support those features.

Sounds like you guys have a WINNER here.  Can't wait!!!

I had an '73 Opel "GT" back in mid seventies.  Great little car!  I sold it
to a girl who could barely see over the dash - so I gave her a phone book to
sit on - TRUE!

Don't trust him Andre, trust me......you won't be disappointed :-)

Err aren't you that guy who also praised Ford Racing and Sos'37? :D
By the way John, is there any racing game out there you aren't
beta-testing? :)
And is your F2001 preview allready on the web somewhere?
And how is the WSC beta? :)

Cheers,
and thanks for the good news!,
Andre

Great, am I the only one here who is NOT beta-testing Rally Trophy??
:)

Andre

No, no Andre -- don't trust him, trust ME!!

I'll take credit/responsibility/blame for John's
good words on SoS.  No question -- NONE -- that
out of the box, SoS is a STINKER.  But give it a
little love and a decent configuration utility,
and it's like a stray cat that steals your heart,
your watch (thanks for the swell toy!), your food
(you're not eating that, right?), etc.  No
question, SoS is an admittedly quirky taste.  

I suspect, however, that Rally Trophy is going to
be a purebred that sets the next standard for what
driving titles are supposed to be about.  At least
that's what I'm hoping.

Remove "hi" from address or it will bounce....

LOL!  Touche on the Ford Racing and SoS comment!! <G>

As for the rest, yes, there are a few -- WSC being among them . . .

:-(

Poor, poor, pitiful me, eh?

Don't trust THEM, trust your fellow league racer me!

Yes your the only person not previewing Rally Trophy ;) Anyway, I'm
previewing it for specialstage.com soon, don't have it yet, but hopefully in
the next week. It would only make sense as all the US Rally drivers go there
(it's the US Rally HQ site). It gets 1.4 million hits per month, which is
pretty good, should reach a lot of people :)

Thanks,
Alex

Sickening, ain't it? ;-)
