F1GP2 - No Network!

Hello,

Just thought this might interest a few people. Its the reason why F1GP2
will not have a network feature :

  On most computers this >is 25 times a second.  Now to send the updated information along the network to >the next computer, who m=
ust then update the world, then pass this on to the >next, which again updates the world, then the next.  If the frame rate is set >=
to 25 then this means 25 updates before the program can even move on.

So there we have it . . . sob!
