Gee, I wish I had Speed Vision. Coverage is scheduled to
start at 2:00 in Portland, On Fox Sports Network. But we have
the benefit of being entertained by a million little commercials
while all you get to watch is the race.
That is a great benefit of racing sims. The first race this
year that I've seen a whole lap with an in-car camera was Spain.
I slowly toured that track while starting and pausing the VCR.
F1RS looked VERY accurate.
The only serious error I've seen so far is at the back part
of Imola. The grade between Variante Alfa and Rivazza is all
wrong. This section is more like GP2 show it. Of course GP2
doesn't show the changes made to Tamburello. I've read that
other tracks have problems, but I'll reserve judgment until I
see the televised race.
I bet the Monaco pit exit in F1RS is not right. I saw two
Computer cars collide big time when one exited the pits in
front of another ripping down the front straight. Then I had
a *** confrontation with my team mate, Michael Shumacher,
at the same point. That's a good reason to save during the
race.
