Thanks for the link.  An interesting bit of text accompanies it:

======

Elite Systems is looking for a marketing partner for this game. Here is
the description:

"In their design, most car racing simulations continue to adhere rigidly
to the 'received wisdom' that real-world authenticity along with
boundless vehicle set-up options are the key to a successful product;
despite the evidence that this 'received wisdom' results in 98% of PC
owners declaring that they will NEVER buy a car racing simulation. "In
it's design, Super Touring (The High-fidelity Production Car Racing
Simulation) adheres rigidly to this 'received wisdom' and then. EXPLODES
THE MYTH, by including it's unique 'stunt' mode which takes the rigour
of it's vehicle simulation and applies it for the sole aim of having
FUN !"

======

Anybody know if that 98% is a legitimate statistic gathered through
a recognized survey?  Does this suggest that Papyrus/Sierra is targeting
2% of the PC market with GPL?  

Then again, it says "PC Owners", and not "PC Gamers", and I don't know
what percentage of "Owners" are "Gamers".  Or maybe it's a survey of CPR
purchasers answering to "will you ever buy ANOTHER racing sim published
by Microsoft?".
