I can tell you POSITIVELY that no one leaked any of Dave's work. They hacked into a directory we used to have posted on the Norway mirror which held Noonan's track at the time. I can only ask that NO ONE support this site and PLEASE don't download ANYTHING from them. They are cowards and thieves who should be treated as such. The Pits has always tried to be a fair and user friendly site, doing whatever we can to help make things better for our fellow sim-racers. Apparently you just can't do enough for some people...

Just had a look, and I was right - despite a more polished appearance, it's the same stuff, including said pre-beta track. Boo! Hiss! -- David.

Somebody with access to Noonan's work must have leaked the track. That's the sad part. Jon Andersen

They did pull Suzuka from The Pits' Norway server ym. To be honest with you, I like Suzuka quite a bit.

This is like argueing that a theif is less guilty because he entered the house through a 3rd story window instead of the front door. May you loose something that you value to a theif who uses an equally vapid rationalization.

Is this the current French philosophy of personal responsibility? No wonder they idolize Jerry Lewis. BB

Red Rock... Now that'd be a nice track for GPL! <g> I can just imagine the suspension working there! Frank Francois Dubuc, [email hidden] Simulator Cyberworld, http://www.simracing.com/simcyberworld/
