Back in the mid nineties I worked at HP and Bobby Rahal came by for some
type of sponsorship obligation and I asked him if he thought Computer Sims
could help a driver go faster. He basically laughed in my face and said it
would never happen until they could simulate a "seat of the pants" feeling.
Guess he was wrong, ask Martin Truex :)

Who's Martin Treux? Honestly, I've never heard of the guy.

N2003, EA would go nuts since they are a sponser of his

True - but it was cool hearing about "TalladegaBR" being mention by the babe
Jeanne Z during the Busch race there. :-)
The suits at Sierra/Vivendi really needed to learn to market their sims and
never did. Marketing to those fools was a center page ad in PC Gamer
instead of aiming at their true market in say, Motorweek. Maybe if they had
half a brain we coulda been runnin NR2004. Oh well.
