You will have a virtual manager who will guide your career...hopefully
you'll get the stacked bimbette rather than the beer-gutted old fart....

Pro Race Driver to us Yanks. There's a nice preview at
http://www.sportplanet.com/features/previews/proracedriver/. IF they
can deliver everything they promise this will be an awesome game. My
only quandary at this point is whether to get the XBox or PC version. I
will probably decide that based on whether the on-line play is any good
or not. If not I would much rather get the XBox version because I know
I won't need to upgrade anything to play it. ;o)

> I am not sure what is due out this year

The problem is, nobody wants to tell us what they are working on. The West
Bros. can't (or don't want). The Papy guys can't (or don't want). The same
applies for many other developers. It seems that they keep it like it's
some sort of national secret, where they will have to kill you if they tell
you.

Therefore, I won't pick anything because they are alienating the simmers too
much. They are all alienating us. There is absolutely NO communication
anymore with any developers or producers.

F12002, of course. How can you not anticipate the sequel to the greatest,
yet most unfinished racing sim ever?

Hehe. I wonder if they will really give us telemetry this time? I
can't find any documentation of it, but I could swear they have promised
that with every version of this series.

Sad but true post. I'll wait a year or 5 when a Nascar Racing series
game is truly 'new and improved'.

I'm screwed, then... No mechanical ability. I guess I'll have to skip that

I just presume they would have another... They definately sell good and I'm
a bit surprised it is taking so long for the next one.
