Montoya on Sims (NEW)

I wish I could take this guy on in GPL... from this article http://espn.go.com/rpm/f1/2001/0227/1113480.html " Montoya has never been to Melbourne, let alone seen the Albert Park circuit, but says that won't be a problem either. "I've driven it lots of times -- on computer games," he said. "It's not the real thing but it gives you an idea how you've got to turn right, left and stuff like that. "With the new technology you can actually get a fairly good idea of what you are doing. "

Well I'm sure I read somewhere once that his fave games were GP2 and GPL so you never know... -- Cheers, Robin Lord - Trance DJ & Sim Racer. http://www.oppositelock.co.uk N�rburgring and Grand Prix Legends Kirk House <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Txen6.3506$[email hidden]... | I wish I could take this guy on in GPL... | | from this article http://espn.go.com/rpm/f1/2001/0227/1113480.html | | " | Montoya has never been to Melbourne, let alone seen the Albert Park circuit, | but says that won't be a problem either. | | "I've driven it lots of times -- on computer games," he said. | | "It's not the real thing but it gives you an idea how you've got to turn | right, left and stuff like that. | | "With the new technology you can actually get a fairly good idea of what you | are doing. | " | |

Montoya and many other CART drivers absolutely love Grand Prix Legends ;-) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

well in that case, Montoya is like a representative of us gamers ( who on many occasion dreams of actually driving in a real race after many rounds on the computer ) Robin Lord <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:97jst4$36k$[email hidden]... > Well I'm sure I read somewhere once that his fave games were GP2 and GPLso

Maybe indeed. They'd never live it down if they joined a Monza race with 1:30 lap times and got stuffed <G> MS Race1530 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > <<I wish I could take this guy on in GPL...>> > > who knows, maybe you have! > > Mike
