While I still like F1GP and ICR I have become bored of them. Does anyone know of any new Auto simulators to hit the market soon that will rival these 2.

Cheers

I don't know of any new ones, but here's a suggestion. Try running the tracks
in ICR backwards.. seriously.. I've been trying this lately and it's kind of
fun. I think some of the tracks are better run backwards! And the corkscrew at
Laguna Seca is 10 times the challenge going the other direction as going the
right direction :) I also like Road America the other way. If you REALLY want
a challenge, have other cars on the track and you'll know what its like to
race with Hiro! :)

Needless to say, if you haven't bought the Indy and 7 pack add on's yet, do
so..

This is not really a sim but it is a great game for just a laugh.  It is a shareware game called Slicks n' Slide.  It's a bit like the arcade game Sprint (ie. it's an overhead view of the whole track and you race with 3 other drivers).  

The best thing about this is that you can play against your friends and basically just mess around.

You can get the game by ftp but I don't know which one.

Hope this game gets rid of your boredom (I'm pretty sure it will)!!

Have you tried to play over the modem?  Racing another human is very
fun as well as ***ive.

Have you tried some of the editors to increase the competition.  I can
give you the proper numbers for some SERIOUS competition.  Just send me
