E. Irvine: Console racing games occupy too much of young drivers' time

For those who didn't see or hear it... Eddie Irvine thinks Console racing games occupy too much of young drivers' time. They're not "living life enough" according to Eddie. This via: http://www.dailyf1.com/en/news/2001/june/16c.shtml

Yeah... where the hell's Eddie Irvine getting that idea? Right, I'm off to get N4 tomorrow but first I'll complete all 78 Monaco laps before bed on GP3. Hehehe.

(i couldn't visit this page, too slow... so apologies if below repeats whats on that page...) on last week's radio5 formula 1 prog, there was a long conversation with Irvine and Ian Phillips (Jordan bigwig something-or-other). Irvine made a similar comment in that, and they both had a go at Montoya, young upstarts with no character, Villeneuve(sp!) and cart racing, which was all pretty entertaining. some audio clips are here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/sportonfive/formula1_lastweek.shtml ta, martin. -- /"\ \ / ascii ribbon campaign - against html mail X - against ms attachments / \

I agree, most console racing games will teach young drivers very little. "ElvisPresley2k" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

NONONO! Just think, if we take all these kids that learn to race via consoles....just think of it...we'll have a generation of Hang Gliders that can race flying behind a race car... dave henrie "Simon Brown" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:IOGX6.42816$[email hidden]...
