A while back I saw a blurb about a gamed called "Rivals: Sports Car
Racing" that said it was coming out from Sierra later this year.

Haven't seen anything about this recently but ran across this Preview
of  "Viper Racing" on NGonline ...

http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Looks pretty slick.

Wonder, is this a Papy title?

Nope. I read a review last week, at  
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
and it said it's being developed by some group called MGI, which is run
by that other Papyrus co-founder, Rich Garcia.

It looks pretty interesting. :) A genuine realistic Viper *sim*. Which
will be a change from the usual ***these days like NFS3 or TestDrive,
etc.

A Viper sim eh? So it will accurately recreate the feeling of a front heavy
car with too much power for it's own good mainly driven by middle age
posers?

Can't wait

NASCAR drivers aren't posers, just middle aged for the most part... unlike
those Aussie V8 *ahem* "super"car drivers. Craig "Can't cut it in Europe"
Lowndes is a case in point. He looks like a racing driver, just doesn't race
like one :)

Viper drivers are invariable businessmen who think they're good drivers but
only use the Viper for town and have their E-Class (insert director-mobile of
choice in place of E-Class) for places they'd get into trouble in the Dodge.
BTW that's the other thing about Vipers... who ever heard of a GOOD American
sportscar?

M

p.s. Before people point at the GT2 Viper, it took a European team to do that
:)

Since you put it that way, sounds like fun.

But he can turn the steering wheel in more than one direction when
racing.....
Of course, we wont mention Jason Bright, the Australian V8Supercar
driver who kicked butts in the American FF2000 series shall we?
Or David Besnard, who can beat the field in the 1998 FF2000 series
WITHOUT a rear wing on his car!

I can't wait for the day an American driver from any formula comes to
Oz and races one of our cars successfully. Pruett and Kendall already
tried and failed....who's next? :-)

No disagreement about American drivers, my comments are about Australian
drivers tho. Generally they're great in Australia but seem to forget how to
drive when they reach Europe unless they come over here early in their careers
and learn HOW to race in Europe.

Mark Webber is an exception to the rule, but I hope we don't see Lowndes
anywhere outside these shores again, it'd be a shame to waste an F3000 seat on
him for yet another year.

Why Lowndes was based in Austria, where he could speak to no one, is a mystery. With a
more familiar environment I think his confidence would improve. I doubt he's a waste of
space however. Didn't he get a 4th in at least 1 race? If he can get settled into a
pattern of driving to win as he does here I would not be surprised how far he could go on
an international stage. Stay tuned, he's still young.
    The key to racing in Europe is simple. Make yourself at home and do your own thing.
Even to the point of being a little irreverent if necessary. Don't do it anyone elses way
- do it YOUR way! Turn up to a track and think of it as YOUR track. Once again, just make
yourself at home :) Get out on the track and stick it to 'em! You listening Craig? LOL.
