rec.autos.simulators

That's the one I'm waiting for.  I'll send my money now.  Toyoya GTP
at Road Atlanta!  Spice or even Tiga Buick at Sears Point!  Papyrus,

I would love either a Can Am or Trans Am simulation.  Can you imagine trying to control a 1000hp
917 Porsche in the rain?  Or to re-run the great races between the Camaros, Mustangs and
Javelins?

How about a version of the IMSA GTP series of a few years ago.  Now
those were REAL race cars. I still have a poster of the Bud Light
Jaguar driven by Davey Jones and one of the Acura NSX (Camel Lights
Champion) driven by Parker Johnstone on the wall above my PC.  WSC just
does'nt have the same flair as GTP.

That's exactly right, John, and I can tell you that trying to drive a
Camel Lights car with one eye on the road and one in the mirror waiting
for Brabham or Robinson or Cobb or whoever ina GTP car to blow you
off is thrilling.  Yeah, make the sim, I'll pay biiiiiiig bucks for it!!

:  Now that we have Good Sims of NASCAR and Indycar, how about a World
: SportsCar-sim? It could follow the lines of previous Papyrus games, the cars
: may all look fairly similair (just like in the other games!) etc. Imagine the
: possibilities: first of all: the complete IMSA-series including Daytona 24Hrs,
: Sebring etc, driving in the dark etc. Six-speed gearboxes, Ferraris, R&S`,
: Spices etc, etc.... Even greater; a LE MANS track-pack, or a European
: Track-pack including Nurburgring, SPA, Donington....I am sure that even my
: father who hates computer games (but was impressed with NASCAR) will get one
: of these!! It could probably also be converted, quite easily (or?) to a
: touring car game; all the tracks would be there already! Setting up the cars
: would be most interesting......Any views on this??
: PLEEEEEEAAASE, SANTA PAPYRUS!!

        EA Sports' next driving project will be based on the LeMans
circuit.  They've been working with McLaren for over half a year now, so
it should be great to be able to drive an F1 GTR down the Mulsanne!  I'm
not sure about which other manufacturers will be included, but here's
hoping for the Viper and DB7 entries' inclusion.

John, I agree. I used to go see the old "group C" cars at SPA, LE MANS,
Silverstone etc. The company which I work for actually built a C2/camel lights
car which became outlawed when FIA put their *** hands on the championship.
(It was becoming a threat to F1). in Europe, we still run these cars in
several championships, like the Interseries (one of the old BUD LIGHT cars
showed up there last year!). I would gladly lend our car to Papyrus as a
starting point. I have driven it for real, and the SIM would be just AMAZING!!
The SIM should also include engine options; say if you are running a Spice,
you could choose from Chevy V8, Ferrari V12, or like our Ford 1.7 litre Turbo,
Mazda Rotary etc...Remember the Nissan GTP cars? Drool, drool.....

  From what I know Price Cobb is a huge fan of the sims avail and he also
  races R/C cars for those who like that kind of stuff.

  -my 2 cents
