F1RC = Formula One Race Championship (aka RS3... will make sense in next 2
lines) - Ubisoft's Latest F1 offering

MGPRS2 = Monaco Grand Prix Race Simulation 2 (aka RS2) - Ubisoft's previous
offering to F1RC

F1RS = Formula One Race Simulation (aka RS1) - Ubisoft's first F1 offering.

F1CS = Deeply abbreviated -> Formula One 2000 Championship Season (the
second [some might call a pay-for patch attempt in here] offering from EA)

WSC = World Sports Cars -> Coming out by the West Brothers (Empire
Interactive)... probably THE most anticipated/hoped-for game on this
board.... might wanna watch out for this one that 'might' take the Sim Crown
from GPL.

MBTR - Mercedes Benz Truck Racing (A nice little offering... pardon me for
forgetting the developers/publishers)

<add more here... it's late... but those are the 'topic acronyms of most
use'>

Cheers,

Schumi

...and of course they're not acronyms, they're abbreviations. I defy anyone
to pronounce MGPRS2 as a word :-)

You just have to try harder. Mig-Purse-Two :)
I used to be called FOSGSS once. Try pronouncing that without a funny
look :)
