Ford Poplar and Ferrari Dino.
You can check sales figures of the two manufacturers and draw your own
conclusions as to how many in this world will be polished with love and
driven with pride tomorrow.

Sales numbers mean nothing in terms of defining quality of product!

Try a mid 1980's car

Good point.  Darn I said I wouldn't write a thing in this thead.. oh well ;)

Personally, here are the only racing simulation where I get satisfaction
from either having a good lap or racing online :

- GPL
- N3
- RC2000
- GP2
- AMA SBK <ymenard ducks>
- Icr2 on road tracks

Everything else that I tried and reviewed "hard-corely" doesn't give my any
satisfaction at all, for many reason.  Those titles above are the only one
where I will mind-set myself in a serious racing mood, where external
factors and inner-psyche are irrelevant ;)

I have no problem with David at all, and have great fun in discussing with
him our visions of the racing simulation world.  Even if I disagree, it
doesn't mean it's a bad thing at all!

But I have chosen to not say a word in this thread.  Oops now I just did ;)
