Hi all, Somebody suggested recently that there should be a GTR version of RASCAR, a GTRAS or whatever, because apparently RASCAR isn't as popular as it used to be. I don't know that for a fact because I didn't buy a copy of NR2003 when it came out because I live in the UK, so I have absolutely no interest in NASCAR and £30 is a lot of money to just turn left. Now I can't find it for sale anywhere over here and I'd only buy it for RASCAR anyway. Back to the topic... I'd be really interested in helping to set up GTRAS if there was enough interest. I don't know what GTR multiplayer is like, it's descended from EA's F1 sims so I bet it's not that great, but if anybody knows more, I'd like to hear it. Would there be enough interest here for something like this? Nick

I'd probably join in. I'm in another GTR league and we've been able to get up to about 17 or 18 racers, but the server has a big pipe and everyone needs to have a rock solid broadband connection and good fps. Steve.

The single biggest problem is that RASCAR was so diverse geographically. Guys from US, Europe, Austrailia. The Papy netcode could barely handle this diversity and GTR while OK for close distance broadband races degrades badly over the geographic distances RASCAR needs. Could work though.it would be difficult. Count me in. "Nick" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
