Now that the cat has been let out of the bag, I want you all to know
that myself, Craig and Scott (all staff of Operation Sports) went to
Papryus last week pre-E3.

We know what the inside scoop is, and we saw and heard some things
that I think the *** sim fan (as well as the regular racing fan)
will be very happy with.

I know this sounds awful, but we need to respect the wishes of Sierra
and Papryus here. There is nothing official yet, and things in this
industry can change by the second. There would be nothing more
embarassing for us to post something about a certain game and then
find out that it's not going to happen. So, until it is official we
will not say anything.

I can say that the referenced article that many are you are pointing
to is not 100% the case. I really want to let you all know what's
going on, but I think you'll all know the story later this week.

On one hand, I don't want to hold things back, but on the other hand,
I don't want you all basing your opinions on one article that may or
may not be correct.

where's Jim Sokoloff when you need him? :) Many thanks to him and all the
papy's of the past who have kept a good dialogue with us over the years, but
it does seem like that era may be gone to a point.

I didn't buy N99, and might not buy 2000 if it's not much better than N2 in
areas other than cosmetics, lets face it Nascars shouldn't be as hard to
drive as GPL cars any how, so why does it need to be dumbed down?

There's always MGI though, they seem to be making good racing games. and
there are other projects in the works... good luck.
