   I thought that title would get your *** boiling.
However, it's accurate...one of SCGT's features was the ability to share a
race with a computer driver.  That option is alive and well again in the
GTR demo.

Hehe...I never played SCGT.  I thought they must have got the idea from the
GPx series.

racing... please please..

   That has never been available with ISI sims.   It would be a big step
for them.  I haven't heard any press claims about it..so don't get your
hopes up.   It would be fun tho for the 2 system lan racers.

Damn..
Yeah, it hasn't been in any ISI game, and it's a feature I really miss. My
friend and I LAN alot, and would both love to do a 24 hour race with a full
field against eachother.
Thanks for the reply though Dave..

It's odd that it isn't in the sim, as it doesnt' seem like a hard thing to
implement. It was in LFS from the first demo I think. But maybe the AI in
isi stuff works differently.. ah well.

    Multiplayer has always been a weak point for team ISI.  I think they
began addressing it more with F1c and NT2k4, but on the whole it was not
that long ago that ISI sims could only do 4 cars online, so they ARE making
strides.  I just don't think they will get where you want them to be yet.
