Woudln't it be good if they did a late 70s game in the manner of GPL - Imaging competing against Andretti, Villeneuve, Reutemann, Lauda and so on in the Saudi Leyland Williams, the Ferraris and the Pamalat clad cars... Fantastic. You could even be James Hunt and prepare for the race with a few pints :-) JB

I've been sayin' this for a while. Think of those turbo giants flying around the track. I'm drooling right now... -- -Brett http://www.geocities.com/cartstop Goodbye Greg Moore 1975-1999 "I will see you at the front, and wish me luck..." - Greg Moore Goodbye Adam Petty 1980-2000 "It's all about racing on the track." - Adam Petty Goodbye Kenny Irwin Congratulations to Juan Montoya, 2000 Indy 500 Champ! "While the Indianapolis 500 victory is an impressive achievement one must remember that this is not the race it once was. The opposition was really not up to much in the overall, global scheme of things. The Indy racing League field, whether Tony George and his people like it or not, are not good enough to make it in CART-level competition..." -The Mole (F1 Racing Magazine) Jonathan Beckett <[email hidden]> wrote in article <[email hidden]>... > Woudln't it be good if they did a late 70s game in the manner of GPL - > Imaging competing against Andretti, Villeneuve, Reutemann, Lauda and > so on in the Saudi Leyland Williams, the Ferraris and the Pamalat clad > cars... > > Fantastic. > > You could even be James Hunt and prepare for the race with a few pints > :-) > > JB >

Owing to the fact that it was customary for Mr Hunt to throw up behind the pits before a race, he NEVER touched a drop before getting into a racecar. He smoked a joint instead so as not to waste it <G> MS > > > >You could even be James Hunt and prepare for the race with a few pints > >:-) > > > >JB >

Absolutely right - and David Kaemmer said in a recent interview that they'd had great success modelling a winged car in the GPL engine. You could even use most of the same tracks, with some updated trackside scenery and added armco barriers / catch fencing. I don't think Papyrus would do it though, it would have to be a user TC. - Michael

I think we'd all be in for quite a shock! A 1000+ HP with a powerband about as wide as Olive Oil's hips.(Popeye the Sailor reference for the cartoon challenged) Even with tons of downforce we might all go running back to the GPL cars, that are "easy" to drive...hehe dave henrie "Brett" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01bff041$b05ba600$ea9c8ad1@default... > I've been sayin' this for a while.
