Hello,
Am I the only one around here that thinks that the news that codemasters
is doing a BTTC sim is the best news since colour monitors ?

Rob.
Here's another guy who thinks so. Actually, I would have thought that it
would be quite marketable since every European state, Australia, South
Africa, Latin America and the US have their own Touring car series.
Perhaps thing will change in the UK with the Beeb's more extensive
broadcast of the races and improved public awareness.
I'm quite sure that Touring cars are much different animals than a
NASCAR painted to look like a Volvo 850R...Actually, worldwide, I wonder
which series, NASCAR or touring cars has the largest viewing audience?
Cheers,

Hmmmm, well. The news that a BTCC sim is coming out is good, but the
news that Codemasters is doing it is bad. I hope it isn't like Micro
Machines :)
But seriously, when Codemasters is mentioned, I can't get green and
yellow spectrum games out of my head, so I'm wondering how they'll be
able to produce a fast, smooth, attractive, realistic simulation.
Someone please put me straight on this and give me assurance it'll be
worthwhile...

Are there any screenshots anywhere? Where did you hear that they are
doing a BTCC sim?
