race game handling

Hello, I'm a paralised game fan but because of my handicap, I use an alternative keyboard and mouse (for more info look at http://users.pandora.be/xaviersplace ). On that keyboard, I can't hold buttons down so I look for a race game that allows you to handle the car with the mouse. I have 2 games: MS Motocross Madnes and Powerslide but I would love to get an F1 or CART game. Can anyone help me by telling me which games can be played with the mouse? Greetz, Xavier

Xavier.... Its great to see you have an interest in racing......as well as, participate in and enjoy sim racing! I would like to make a suggestion to you, something that may be able to assist your "sim racing hobby" over the long-term, rather than offering a list of racing sims that can be "controlled with a mouse." Wouldn't it be great if you could obtain a set of "sim driving controls" that you can use to play any sim racing program you desire? Of course, this is not something you can "purchase in a store," but I'm sure that applies to your "chair" and the devices you now use for day to day living and getting around in your environment. I would like to suggest that you contact Ball Racing, LTD in England. They make race controls and sim racing cockpits for many uses, including retrofitting sim controls to Ford Motor's "touring auto show cars" in all of Europe......and specialty controls for some real-world-racing F1 teams (I can not reveal their names however). Ball Racing is a "family" operation, made up of some very talented "engineers" (lead by brother Nik) who just happen to love sim racing and have built a thriving business around their "love of sim racing!" My company (Pabst-Racing.com) represents Ball Racing's North American operations, from here in the United States. I have worked with them for several years now....and I know them well (Roger, Simon, Tim and Nik). In fact, I am meeting Tim and Nik tomorrow at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles, California. I will take a copy of this "reply" and your original "post" with me to Los Angeles and give it to Tim and Nik......along with giving them a brief of your needs. I would also like to invite you to go to Ball Racing's website at: www.interactiveracing.com However, they are currently in the process of creating a brand new "corporate/home" website, so this URL may be inactive at times as they are uploading files and graphics daily to this URL. You will eventually get through to the site, so keep trying. When you do get to the BRD site, send an email message using the "contact us" link on the site, addressed to Simon Ball. Please explain your situation, and remind him for me, that I have contacted him about you as well (which I will do as soon as I am done writing this reply to you). I don't want to give out Simon's private email address on this public forum, as I'm sure you will understand. I am confident that with enough patience, perseverance, and perhaps some cooperation from the company who designed your wheel chair, that BRD can design and construct a set of sim racing controls for you that will allow you to fully utilize all the controls available to the rest of us, in any sim racing game we play. I wish you luck in this endeavor, and Godspeed. Regards, Tom Pabst Pabst-Racing.com

Just for the fun of it, try Ruud van Gaal's Racer. It's not a full game, but it has a track and a car, drives very well with a mouse and looks very promising. http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/ /Carl Xavier Du Ch�teau <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:nB8M6.80517$[email hidden]...

I played GP1 and GP2 with a mouse (right button = throttle, left button = brake), which went very well because the games had steering help. GP3 has that too so why not give it a try? Bye, Leo
