Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Bobby Labonte Nascar 2
video is now available on VHS tape. The video is 46 minutes long and
features Bobby giving basic driving instruction, followed by a car setup
tutorial, racing strategies on a variety of tracks, and multiplayer
tips. Bobby plays the game almost every night on his Gateway
Destination system at home, and often competes on Hawaii under an alias.

The video is $19.95 + 5.75 s/h (U.S.) and can be ordered by calling

1-800-408-RACE (7223), or sending check to

Bobby Labonte Race Video
P.O. Box 390
Trinity, NC 27370 (NC residents must add $1.20 for tax).

God Bless,
Steve

The sim is harder than the real thing, in certain respects. NASCAR
drivers rely heavily on the feeling in their butts, which obviously
cannot be sensed with today's affordable computer technology. However,
he's a pretty tough NASCAR 2 driver and was instrumental in the game's
tech issues- including the overall feel of the car. What other info
would you like? I'll do my best to fill you in.

God Bless,
Steve

I have a couple of buds that gave personally raced 'im on hawaii.
He stated that the sim was much harder than the real thing. I heard
he is pretty easy to beat so I wouldnt worry about trying to get his
setups. I also bet that makes some of these guys wonder what they could
do in a "real" Nascar.

Do you know if there is a site that is set up with a little more
info about this?

Thanks! =8>]

Well David I will tell you from experience (since I race real race cars)
that you don't get the feeling of driving a sim like you do racing a real
race car... you can feel the race car get loose or being tight... you
can't feel that from a sim... you can't feel the speed from a sim either
so it's pretty hard sometimes for braking. I can't say that my setup are
the best for everybody.. but I know that by telling someont that if you
car is doing this you need to do that and when your car is doing that you
need to do this is pretty useful. You don't think that the video won't
help you...don't buy it... but for ppl that haven't been racing (in real
life) or using the sim for a long time... it might be very useful.
BTW can you friend win everyrace on Hawaii??? what makes you think that he
can???? I'm sure that he can help the averae Joe...and I'm sure he could
help me setting up my car for road courses.

Also, I don't know if you follow F1 but during the last race of the year
last year they showed a new F1 simulator that will come out soon (not sure
of the name of the sim) and Jacques Villeneuve was one of the guys that
tested the sim.... the best he ever did on the sim was a 17th place...
does that mean he can't drive a f1??? Don't think so... just that it takes
a while to get use to not feeling the car from the seat of your pants

Well that is all for my $0.02,
Sylvain

David,

My webpage may be up by the end of the weekend if I've got time. I'll
stick a few pics up there of the video, along with more info. I'll post
the address when I'm done.

God Bless,
Steve

FWIW, Rhawn Black and I raced Bobby last year on Hawaii,
and for anyone to think he's an easy win - forget it. =)

Cheers!

Marc
