GTR, any open wheel cars?

Are there any plans - or perhaps even existing? - open wheel cars to the GTR? Gradually the new sim (in a few days! :-) has started to feel quite good, and to tell the truth, I even might like to change from the grand old GPL to the GTR. But I would not like to leave the great F1 cars of 60's, especially -65 and -67, behind, and replace them with those "high tech" street cars... So anyone making the shapes, but especially the physics, of the F1 cars "before the wings" to the GTR? I hope so... ;-) Arto --

They put a teaser out a few months ago that they would have something for the GPL fans. Not heard anything since. Arto Wikla wrote:

With all the patch / starforce crap they've made us go through over the last couple of iterations I surely hope they meant "stable, dedicated server not requiring a cd-rom drive and a DX graphics card" and "reliable online play" when they referred to "something for GPL fans". Open wheel would be nice, but they really should get their priorities straightened out before opening yet another can of worms.

Yep, I must admit I'm starting to regret even forking out for it. It's all about sales pitch rather than a good, finished product.

There's times when I wish I had just stuck to playing F1C mods. Simbin have made lots of promises and haven't exactly fulfilled all of them yet which is disappointing for a group bred from the sim community.

Wait, you guys talking about GTR? LOL for a second I thought you were talking about NSR... Hmmm seems there is NOOO way to fix the server, I mean 4 groups have it to mess with, NONE have figured it out? EA's NSR, the GTR guys, the Rfactor guys, and one more I forget what it was, seems unable to make a viable league usable multiplayer parts to the racing, via this 'game engine'??? Steve Simpson enlightened us with:

No modding > of words without strict permission you hacker! :-) "hacker" is not a bad word in my book, while "cracker" is. ;-) The rumor was out on the net half a year ago when GTR first launched, so it's kind of dangerous for a "news site" taking credit half a year later. 8-P BTW nice work by all of you over on ASS, I really enjoy thes publications.

Thing is: It's so mindblowingly good in the physics / fun dept. it seems heartbreakingly wrong that they neglected the online part like they did. Who knows, maybe Stephane R. became a "little bernie" and told them to "cripple the online code". We might come to hear that from them when GTR2 is out. cheers, uwe ps: gtp mod rocks ;-) -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
