Wow, I've been away for awhile (playing everquest, no it's not a racing sim). I checked this news group and it's still full of GPL topics. I'm kind of shocked. I thought N4 would have taken over by now. I guess you can check the topics to see that there are still no really good sims except GPL at the moment.

It may be a better game, but like he said, it hasn't taken over yet. As long as people enjoy driving light cars on road courses then GPL will stay alive. JB ymenard <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Nha17.25265$[email hidden]...

N4's great and all that, but... 1) The required specs are considerably higher; 2) It seems (I haven't experienced it 1st-hand) to have a nigher percentage of idiots online; 3) The cars are heavy; 4) Right turns?; 5) Hardly anyone outside America cared in the slightest about NASCAR; 6) There's no Le Mans for N4... -- David.

Yea Fran�ois!! and the online racers are so courteous & friendly! NOT! Sorry ymenard but the azzholes online are still worse each day! It seems like all the 8yr/olds got N4 for graduating from 4th grade & they just do not know how to race with others! Damn!! I have never seen so many 'wreckers & wise-azzes' in my life as I have encountered in N4's Sierra.com online racing!! This is a fact & not just a subjective opinion either!!

Try to run only in the higher rated races, like a 4-10. I've been concentrating on at least a 3 rating and it seems to filter out the 'Pinball Boys' since their constant crashes keeps their ratings low. Bob
Robert and All Sorry for my rant! I had a bad N4 week with all the wreckers etc.. I was starting another ID so I had too do the papyloop races. It got me POed but thats nothing new for me.. I guess I should have taken my prozac first?.hahaha "O" btw, Robert I am back to 3 of my good 6-10 & pw race servers online and no worries racing with these guyz :) Again sorry bout my raging post!!
