Andrew, an excellant summary.
Just add - Checkout www.bhmotorsports.com They have the GTR demo linked as
well and the majority of every driving game listed
http://www.bhmotorsports.com/sim
Plus don't forget that the Wests initial efforts resulted in Total Immersion
Racing, which wasn't that bad after the mod community got to it, but it
wasn't what we'd hoped for.
And finally the Wests had a finger in Rally Trophy but I never found out
what they did.
Andi.
