(1) There once was a time, I think I remember, when Don made some useful
posts but it's literally been years since he's posted anything but marketing
hype.
(2) If you're truly a big CART fan then you'll know that CART is not exactly
hot property right now, TV ratings are down and attendance is down. It's
become sort of an F1 minor league circuit with very little american talent
or interest.
(3) You Practice.
(4) If you have to ask the question then you already know the answer and
you're only seeking justification.
(5) Because it's a racing simulator and races don't stop until they are
done.
LMAO great stuff, loved the jabs at Wilshe and ymenard....how true

I just saw [insert eidos or psygnosis product here] in the bargain bin.
Should I buy it?
Todd Dry melodically intoned:
With the exception of "what's best racing sim/is x arcade or sim/" I
don't think these questions are necessarily "subjective" or out of line
at all. Given that there are multitudinous choices among hardware and
computer components (and granted that some hardware choices *are*
subjective) , there are many here -- myself very much included -- who
don't have the technical chops to confidently make upgrade decisions or
hardware choices, and we know that there ARE people here who really know
their stuff. Fora are for the exchange of information, as I understand
the definition and purpose, and I have been most gratified to be steered
in the right direction by more experienced PC folk.

And if you saw today's Autoweek, you'd see that CART may soon go even
further down the old tuberino: after losing Al Jr. (whatever his talent,
he's a Big Name Draw for sponsors and spectators alike) to IRL, he may
soon be followed, at least as far as Indianapolis, by the Biggest Name
Draw CART has, Michael Andretti. And with Juan Pablo Montoya's virtually
certain (and well-deserved) move to F1, that leaves CART with...
I never woulda thunk IRL could have made it this far, but if Tony George
manages to pull off a stunner with the USGP, I think he's going to have
a momentum of the marketplace that Bobby Rahal will find hard to
counter. We live in interesting times.

I am a big fan of CART and I do not agree with that first part of the
last sentence. :)
One more thing: If we can't talk about what's listed, what shall we
talk about ? :)

Uhhhh, no.... the *pathetic* thing is that you said it at all (and
repeatedly). Oh, and that "haven't said ... [tortured grammar removed
for my own peace of mind--BB] for years"? Make that "for months" ... but
who's counting?
But cereally...let's not start THIS stupid RAS thread again, OK? OK!

recreaction involving automotive simulators? Hmmm.....

Well I don't think no.3 is so ridiculous, more of an outrage.

Yes,a nd we all know that the one thing that would do nothing for the sport
is for CART to allow people to experience driving a champ car at any of the
CART tracks around the world.

Does it really matter how long ago you said it?
It would still qualify as "Absolutely Ridiculous" :)
