they sure do. actually I was talking about both, but the turns
espically
simulate faster carshears to hoping we will see a CART product with the
same engine in this lifetime
cheers!

But William.....but, but, but............it is *supposed* to represent
cars of *YESTERDAY*!!
I do not want a simulation that represents 1967 in all respects other
than car dymnamics/performance. I don't want the cars performing like
those of 1997....or 1987.....or 1977.
I just don't see the point, mate! Why not rush out and buy F1RS....or
wait for Papy to do CART 2 or Nascar 3 or "GP Legends of the 1990s"?
What you are suggesting is akin to looking at a Battle of Britain
Spitfire and complaining that it doesn't perform like an F-16!!

But then we wouldn't be talking about realism, would we? CART and F1
have both been done, and done again. I don't know about you, but I
want realism, even at the expense of slower laps. But you do have a
choice. If you don't like what you see, speak with your dollar$ and
don't buy it.
Maybe we'll get lucky, and CART will be on the Papyrus plate for '99.
