a tire changer
on a bush series racing team, but in fact replys to a gentleman who
bashed Nascar2 for its
"realism" as a true sim, unfortunately the gentleman also indicated that
he was a tire changer
and implied that that had something to do with his experience in giving
a good critique on
Nascar2 dynamics and physics model and how its properties compared to
that of a real Nascar.
My personal opinion was just because you change tires for a nascar
racing team doenst mean
your statements about the evaluation of "realism" of racing sim holds
any type of significance.
Its unfortunate that because of someone's "snipping" skills this poor
bastards livelyhood
has to be bashed. Personaly, if someone offered me that type of job, I'd
take it if it
paid more than I make now(brain surgeon) and especially if I wasnt
married and had no local
responsibilities.
