I caught a promo for an episode of "Faking It" on TLC here in the
States. Looks like we may be so lucky...

all this talk has gotten me really interested into the actual
episode. Would some brit care to convert it to mpg / divx and
put it up for download somewhere, please?

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure a sim racer, a good one, would have impressed a lot of
ppl.
Last week I went back in italy to meet a lof of guys involved in nK...
we decided to have a go with karts.. real karts.
Among us there was Aristotelis Vasilakos, one of the best GPL and
Nascar drivers in italy, possibly in the world.. you pick the game and
he gives you 2-4 seconds a lap..
Well... on real karts.. guess what? He made a lot of mistakes
everywhere but he gave me 9 seconds on a 43sec lap.. what a shame
:-(...ok I suck.. but.. I think you get the point.
My opinion is, if you're fast with sims.. you're likely to be fast in
RL..

I think so, too.
After simming since F1GP, and starting karting last year, I think simming is
much harder. I'm not the quickest, but I'm up there in the quickest new
drivers.
