Ahh, Faith restored :P

(Another rejectee, however I think possibly living in a non-US location
didn't help matters.)

    Yep, me rejected too. Maybe they don't want well mannered conservatives
with supreme good will toward their fellow man like me?

   That's because they wanted testers, not hackers.

Don't think it was that logical.  For one thing, Kaemmer himself disdains
roundy-round stock car racing; vastly preferring the open wheelers.  He once
told me he's rather do a sim of 100-hp Barber Dodge single-seaters than
anything with a roof.  I suspect the names were picked out of a hat.

You attack the testers and are quite wrong sir.  The testers test,
suggest and report. The  developers either ignore or make the changes.
The publisher gives or does not give the developer the time to make
the changes.

Learn the process, then comment.

I got rejected too. Maybe they didn't want any beta testers from
r.a.s... ;)

I was going to apply, but I don't run N2K3 anymore, or the mods.
I figure whatever they are working on is just another mod to N2K3.

Whatever it turns out to be, it ain't no GTR.  ;-)

Gtr is just a mod for the dated F1C from ISI, any official mod from the
founder of papyrus will blow it away.

  Yep, we all know that Papy would never think of using a dated engine over
and over again now would they ?  <wink>

Oh, I forgot this official mod from the founders of ISI. I presume
that First-Racing, that is after all just a mod for the dated NR2003,
will also be blown away?

He can have it when he pries it from my cold dead fingers.  ;-)
After over 700 laps in GTR, everything else seems to easy, even GPL.
