Much as I hate to say it, I could see Stallone's movie driving the nail in the coffin for CART. Here's a pleasant and intriguing thought, though: Imagine a CART/IRL game based on the NASCAR Heat game engine.

Anyone think that Stallone's movie "Champs" might draw enough attention to Champcars that we might see a new CART game in the works? I guess it's a stretch, but I'm hopin'. :) -- -Brett Goodbye Greg Moore 1975-1999

Sure, just like Studio 54 brought disco back.

I think Papy will release a CART sim at the end of next year or maybe early 2002. Don't ask me why I just have a feeling. My feelings aren't always correct BTW. "Brett�" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01beb67e$4a9277c0$390e8ad1@default...

What I want to know is how they're going to get that humongous Sly Simian into a Champ car cockpit... Anybody remember the absolutely vile TV series about Indycar (sorry, Tony!) racing from the '80s (and yes, I *do* live in the past)? I think they used Rahal's old "Otter Pops" car ... Man, it stunk. BB BTW, anybody hear the mistake Unfortunately-NOT-Silent Sam Posey made in his Belgian GP trivia question today? A big sloppy cyber-kiss for anyone who knows A) What idiot mistake Sam made, and B) the name.

Well, Stallone is actually a lot closer in physique to the rest of us simians. He's only 5' 6", and I'm sure if he does some aerobic exercise and stops his weight training and overeating, then he could be close to the ideal size for those cars. Bendito;

The ONLY movie I'm looking forward to is the new version of the Lord of the Rings being filmed in New Zealand. As far as a movie getting a video/pc game tie-in?? Well they'd have to pay CARt, pay Stallone, pay Chicago, Pay Warner Brothers or whomever is producing it...and then what-ever they have left in the budget they can send to the programming team. If your lucky...Al Unser Jr's Arcade Racing "might" be portable for the cash they'd have left. dave henrie "Brett�" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01beb67e$4a9277c0$390e8ad1@default...

Oh man, that sounds like a real winner...CART is doomed. Now I can see why F1 soured on this project...

I wish I could learn his secret - I'm only 5' 8". In his earlier films, where he plays bit roles, it's easier to notice his shortness. Maybe celebrity makes you grow taller? :) Bendito;

Bendito wrote: >Maybe celebrity makes you grow taller? :) Seriously, I think it's photographs and film/video. I knew Jackie Stewart and Mario Andretti were pretty short, but it wasn't until I found myself standing next to them that I truly appreciated how tiny they were, and I'm a pretty-average 5'10". BTW, if anyone wants to hear the story about how I ended up pumping gas for Andretti's Ferrari 712 Can-Am car, email me privately, as I'm pretty sure I'm past the "wordy post" tolerance limit on this NG -- it's pretty funny though... It's like a lot of race car pix and vids -- in photos of the Porsche 917, for example, where the car is by itself, or with a similar-sized car, the thing looks like a behemoth. When you're standing next to it, or you see a pic/vid of the thing in company with a familiar car, like a Camaro or 911/914, you realize what a tiny thing it is. I love the pics from LeMans 1970 of a 917 passing the Sonauto 914-6 -- the 917's roof just about makes it to the top of the 914's fender. Speaking of which, if anyone ever does a decent LeMans sim, I'd pay good $US for a carset of 917s, 512s, Matra 670s, Alfa T33s, Ferrari P4s -- of course, the track would have to be configurable for late '60s/early '70s layout, with the full, chicane-less Les Hunaudi�res (aka Mulsanne Straight) and the un-"improved" Maison Blanche, Indianapolis, and Tertre Rouge. Ah well... Next I'll find out that Schwarzenegger is 4' 11".... BB

Most of these cars have already been made for SCGT, you can pick them up as GPLEA, speedsims.com, and simracing.com and a couple of other places I can't think of off hand. Also, someone is currently making Le Mans for SCGT, I don't think its the 70s verison, probably a modern version, better then not having it at all. :) Take care - Loren
