I may have a chance to talk with Juan Montoya next week. Since he's an
avid sim racer, I hope to talk with him about that, at least (and maybe
some CART-IRL stuff, too, just for good measure), but if any of you
have any specific sim questions you'd like to have me ask Montoya, let
me know and I'll see what I can do.

How about asking if Juan can use his clout to get an up-to-date CART sim
released that is worthy of the series and all it's fans.
I know, I know, just dreamin'.

Yes, tell him to come racing GPL in VROC to have a real driver in there....

It would be fascinating to know if he's aware of GPL and, if so, what
his opinion of it is. It would be fun to have him hit VROC
incognito...

No no, not incognito, I want to tell my friend that I've raced Montoya. Even
better: that I crashed him out of the race! :) (won't mention VROC though)

The first question would be, of course, which sims he drives and which
one is closest to the real racing experience?

How does he in his own opinion compare to other sim racers?

Which sensation he misses most when driving a sim?

How much does racing in real life help being good in a sim (the opposite
of what we usually ask)?

Does driving a sim teach him any bad habits with respect to the real
deal?

Did he ever try to get revenge at a certain opponent after a real life
race by crashing into him in a sim?

Ahem. He also mentions GP2. There's still life in Crammond's old
charmer...

Close, the first Q should be, which sims he drives besides GPL, and why
he thinks GPL is the best......

Sorry, couldn't help myself :-)

Can he go under 1.30 at Monza is one uestion:-)

The obvious would be about a CART sim though, if the word got around the
paddock, you never know who might pick it up!

For some there is life in GP2, not for me I'm afraid. I still think it
is the best modern F!-sim though, but the framerate simply isn't up to
modern standards.

But it is perhaps more interesting to know that he plays GP2 too, as
not many "non-enthusiasts" play it these days.
