Yeah, and Remember MiRacing's E24 with Indycar 2? The first real sim racing
event on the net if you ask me. The NROS deal was cool too, but wasn't as
cool. Now if we could do this all on-line, that would be cool  :)

I would think that tyre wear as well as tire wear will be modeled to some
extent, since this is endurance racing, I don't know to what extent.

Looking at some of the topics on High Gear, they talk about a lot of
different parts of your car being able to be worn out due to excessive use
during the race, so I'd assume that tire wear will also be very detailed,
but I'll do my best to find out.  I suggest you direct your question to the

There is one question at the forefront of my mind that I would like somebody
who has an "in" with the Wests......

Will they be modelling tyre wear....particularly flat-spotting caused by
spinning and the physical effects of same?

  Pitstop II had a split screen multiplayer aspect as well as the
pitstops...two players racing could see each other on their own screen
and could see what your own car looked like if your competitor was
nearby.

Thanks Kai...well, as per my original request, if you or somebody who is in
communication with the developers can raise the question, 'twould be nice to

Oh....and I have learnt long ago to never assume ANYTHING when it comes to
games in development!
