Sim Racing: Interview with Bob Earl

I love some of the quotes..

"GPL has awesome car dynamics, but its still not as good as GT3" ( open for
RAS flame bait / discussion )

"When I had my student try out Laguna Seca on GT3 I noticed that the
mistakes he was making on the real track were the same mistakes he was
making in the game" ( I've noticed this with F1 titles - where I find I make
mistakes - is where you see them making mistaked for real)

"Id love to see Mid-Ohio, Elkhart Lake-Wisconsin, Portland, Long Beach -
theres just so many great tracks out there" (poor guy's never left America
then?)

well, it's just another of these interviews where the asker wants to have
answers he likes (GT3 is the best game on earth) and the asked wants to make
promotion for his product (Buy my seat and you'll be faster)...

Some interesting facts but also some crap, and another little bit of
american pride, first the circuits and then about the fact that his seat is
made in the USA, although it costs me to say so (smiling) england is really
the country of racing so "hand made in the UK" would mean more in racing
terms...just my opinion though...

Interesting read but it's just one long advert for his sim chair and dvd.

My nephew was mad keen on GT3. He didn't even know how to turn a pc on
18 months ago. Now his PS2 is gathering dust and GT3 is a dim and
distant memory for him, totally eclipsed by GPL. All because I let him
try GPL for 10 minutes!

True, I was there watching, I'll take your word for it that they
finished 17th. all the more amazing that he would sing the praises of a
piece of shite like GT3!
