Codemasters touring car game track list mocked

Rich#8 posted a news item about Codemasters' upcoming touring car game and its large track list. Posters mocked apparent errors such as Zandvoort listed under Germany and Monza under France, while Joe Marques noted the mistakes came from the news site, not Codemasters' own press release. ymenard warned that "Nurburgring (Long)" meant the GP circuit, not the Nordschleife.

There's a round of the German touring car championship (and the F3's, I think) at Zandvoort Andre, hence the confusion perhaps. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

I guess so.. still I'm kinda worried to see German flags when we select Zandvoort.. Oh well, very impressive list, looking forward to this one.

The funniest thing about this thread is that gamingexcellence.com may have screwed up the press release by listing tracks under the wrong countries, yet many assume Codemaster is at wrong/clueless. Look at the HG press release, it's has the right tracks under the right countries: http://www.sportplanet.com/hg/newsitem.php?newsid=1339 Sometimes you should kill the messenger. ;0) -- Joe Marques <Rich#8> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > will they beat WSC to the finish line ? hahaaha > > > > http://www.gamingexcellence.com/pc/news/020124/002.shtml

Ok I see what you are saying. You are worried that those gullible types, less intelligent than yourself, might be deluded by the Long conotation into thinking that the Long Nurburgring circuit is really just that, long. Of course you need not have worried because at least here in RAS, your first point would be groundlessssssssssssssss :) dave henrie
Look at the HG press

So what your saying is, even though you didn't fall for it, others who are less intelligent and more gullible might have the mistaken idead that Codemasters actually had a clue? Of course we appreciate your well-intentioned correction don't we Franc?? dave henrie

I'm just surprised by the magnitude of the "old" Nurburgring conspiracy. <g> Think of the great expense and time Codemaster dedicated to this clever ruse: several months, 56 employees, and several million dollars. All done to fool the dozens of fans thinking "old" Nurburgring might be in the box. Quite a sinister and elaborate plan. And to think, they ALMOST pulled it off. ;0) -- Joe Marques "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G2I88.10805$Pz4.97056@rwcrnsc53... > Look at the HG press > > release, it's has the right tracks under the right countries: > > > > http://www.sportplanet.com/hg/newsitem.php?newsid=1339 > > > > Sometimes you should kill the messenger. ;0) > > > > -- > > Joe Marques > > > So what your saying is, even though you didn't fall for it, others who are > less intelligent and more gullible might have the mistaken idead that > Codemasters actually had a clue?
