well, it's just another of these interviews where the asker wants to have answers he likes (GT3 is the best game on earth) and the asked wants to make promotion for his product (Buy my seat and you'll be faster)... Some interesting facts but also some crap, and another little bit of american pride, first the circuits and then about the fact that his seat is made in the USA, although it costs me to say so (smiling) england is really the country of racing so "hand made in the UK" would mean more in racing terms...just my opinion though... -- The first ever pinball ezboard !! http://pub7.ezboard.com/bpinball "Douglas Ellison" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message de news: afure2$hjlrk$[email hidden]... > > "Internet User" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > This looks like a good read. > > I love some of the quotes.. > > "GPL has awesome car dynamics, but it's still not as good as GT3" ( open for > RAS flame bait / discussion ) > > "When I had my student try out Laguna Seca on GT3 I noticed that the > mistakes he was making on the real track were the same mistakes he was > making in the game" ( I've noticed this with F1 titles - where I find I make > mistakes - is where you see them making mistaked for real) > > "I'd love to see Mid-Ohio, Elkhart Lake-Wisconsin, Portland, Long Beach - > there's just so many great tracks out there" (poor guy's never left America > then?) > > Doug > >

Interesting read but it's just one long advert for his sim chair and dvd. Jim "Internet User" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > This looks like a good read. >

My nephew was mad keen on GT3. He didn't even know how to turn a pc on 18 months ago. Now his PS2 is gathering dust and GT3 is a dim and distant memory for him, totally eclipsed by GPL. All because I let him try GPL for 10 minutes! Gerry
