Okay, so the title was to grab your attention. I'm not
sure whether such a thing would fly or not, but suppose
a group was to get together over the internet to make
a generic racing car simulator -- one where we could use
CAD programs to build tracks, and change types of cars,
etc. I wonder what would be needed to do such a program?
Would people be interested in participating in the programming/
design, etc.?

I'd be interested in that!

P.S.  I'm a computer engineering student, but I'm not sure how much of
the actual programming I could do.  E-Mail me, however.  I'd like to
at least exchange ideas and maybe get this thing to fly!

I would also be interested.  It sounds like an interesting idea.
I would at least like to see where its heading.

I'd also be interested in helping :)

I was playing Xpilot yesterday, and it occured to me that a multi-user internet racing game would be amazing, however it will probably be at least 10 years before we have a network that could handle it (and maybe 100 years in the uk)

Also some guy posted requesting a crack to remove the password protection from indycar, if anyone has any info, could they mail me as well, I also resent having to search manuals for words after paying a LOT of money for software (and I left my manual at my parents house, I dunno if I can survive 3 weeks without it!)
