I remember the first race J. Villeneuve won in F1 (Hungary)... he said
something about having "played a video game" that he jokingly
suggested might have helped him. I figured it was GP2.

TS knew so little about the track he had to get directions and, I
believe, rode out with one of the media crews. His only track-time up
to that point was on N2.

Ive read somewhere also that Dale Earnhardt Jr. also races N2 on a
regular basis. Infact, Steve Park and a few others race N2. Ive also
read in some magazine (also cant remember off the top of my head) that a
few Busch and WC regulars have raced online via NROS and TEN.

But who knows WHO or WHEN this has happened

N2 had just come out. If i can find that issue id be glad to send anyone who
wants one a copy of the article.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. does race on TEN under the name DaleJr3. But not sure
about a few other names. Have heard that Bobby Labonte and Jeff Gordon have
raced on TEN also but as far as I know it hasn't been confirmed.

I'm sure a lot of those guys as well as the lesser-known NASCAR drivers play
NROS on a regular basis. Shouldn't be any surprise.

Yes, Jr races on TEN. So does Hank Parker Jr., Lyndon Amick (sp), Jerry
Nadeau, and at least a couple of others that escape me right now. Dale Jr.
has gotten many of his NASCAR buddies hooked on TEN. Some were racers while
others were crew members of some of the teams.

As for me,my favorite car is the Brabham,but I find myself driving the
Lotus exclusively online. Mosport followed by Watkins Glens are my favorite
tracks.
