There is a simulator in the works that has the working name "Unfair Advantage". Work began in 1993,
should be in beta this summer/fall.

V1.0
- User designable venues (track + environs)
- User designable vehicles (3D shape,colour & texture, plus performance specs)
- User definable controls
- User definable meteorological conditions
- User customizable AI
- Recommended min. 486DX1/66 w/8 MB
- VGA/SVGA
- Distributed processing (World Server,Sim Server,Display Server each on a different CPU - currently
  SCSI only for interconnect)
- NOT a large number of venues or vehicles will be available by 1st beta
- several amateur and a few pro drivers and pro wrenches are providing input and testing for the
   math model.

V1.0+
- math model will be Run-Time Linkable ... with published API.
- Macintosh version to follow next.

*NOT* CHEAP...

Note: Designable,Definable,Customizable...
      Designable - most flexibility (ie. design and implement something entirely new within the bounds
                   of the model)
      Definable  - assign one of a set of fixed choices to another of a set of fixed choices
      Customizable - alter settings for any of a fixed set of parameters.

This "unofficial" announcement is probably a bit premature, but considering the recent flame-wars...
