Sometimes I wish I *could* put machine guns on my car. It would get rid of
some of the idiots on VROC...<g>

Prost Grand Prix, perhaps. Maybe Ducati World (or whatever). Perhaps
a truly awful cheapo game called "World Wide Rally". Definitely *not*
Spirit of Speed 1937, though the demo certaily qualifies!

PS Sunday I will chill out by kicking your ass at Solitude.. or will
it be like last year, where you manage to block me lap after lap,
making me crash the car out of frustration? :))

I didn't block, I raced as hard as I could :o
You will probably park me at Solitude, since I haven't found time for
practice (damned norwegians doing so well in the olympics, I have to
watch). I'll be glad just to finish the race.

I know what you mean. I remember seeing the first preview of SoS in (I
think) PC Gamer - there was one big screenshot and some PR waffle, and
it looked *fantastic*. At the time I really thought historic racing
sims might take off as a genre in the same way that classic (real) cars
have. Then I tried the demo, and went away and cried, almost literally,
at the utter waste of a wonderful concept.
For a year or so after that I told everyone (as can be seen from some
of my earlier posts here) that SoS was indeed the worst driving game
ever. Then someone (I'm too lazy to look up who) pointed me in the
direction of that little control-device prog and told me the full game
was much better than the demo. And they were right. Still waaaay below
what it should have been, but acceptable for an occasional thrash.

Have you guys tried the Spirit Of Heat 1937 mod for NASCAR Heat yet,
by any chance? I think WE have come up with THE definitive 1930s GP
simulation, in the GPL vein that we all hoped SoS would deliver . . .
give it a try if you haven't already:

Enjoy!
