Goodness, I thought I was playing GPL again! Sean Stafford's
Monza is
completely awesome! The AI sucks (and I'm sure he's working on it :),
but I can forgive that! This track is definitely worth it!
Also, at Starnews and Autosport, one of the F1 teams estimated
lap
times in the 1:18 to 1:19 range at Indianapolis. Well in SCGT, I ran a
R&S MkIV (Cadillac chassis)-Ford at 1:19.77 around the converted Indy
and only hit about 191 mph at the end of the main straight. If F1 cars
are expected to hit 220-225 mph, this means they're gonna be snails in
the infield if a sports car in a PC simulation can do a lap only one
second off the pace of a real-life car. Hmmm...wonder if I entered my
virtual car in the race if I can beat the real-life Minardis and
Saubers?
Finally, with all the Ford-Firestone hoopla here in America, I
wonder
if Jaguar and the Ford customer teams are looking EXTRA close at their
Bridgestones? I tell you, if a tire blows at Indianapolis, Bridgestone's
out of racing, as well as business...
Yeah, it's off-topic a bit. Sue me ;)
