Re: What online racer is best?

Which racing sims work best online

A newcomer asked which racing sims worked best online. Recommendations were GPL, NASCAR Racing 3 and Dirt Track Racing. David G Fisher omitted GPL, which led to a childish name-calling exchange with Andre Warringa.

Papyrus is the king of online play and offer the most drivers of any car sim competitor. GPL is #1 for smoothness. 20 drivers per race is fantastic! Nascar3 is #2 for a whopping 32 drivers per race!! http://www.papy.com Jason.

if you mean drivers, i reccomend Markus "Maaki" Stiepel or EV Phelps as being very good to race with, but there are countless other good guys, these two are the ones I have memories of :o) "snakehands" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:eKlv#1Yp$GA.351@cpmsnbbsa04...

Your question is too open-ended -- what kinds of racing do you like? If you're into NASCAR, then NASCAR 3 from Sierra/Papyrus is good for online play. If you like ovals but prefer dirt tracks, then Dirt Track Racing from Wizard Works/Ratbag is one to look at because it offers very good online action and a huge online community of racers. If you like open-wheel Grand Prix-style road racing, I'd recommend Grand Prix Legends from Sierra/Papyrus (GPL is the acknowledged "king" of racing sims around here, but it's definitely a hardcore simulation). Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed has good, convincing-yet-accessible physics -- it does NOT yet offer any online multiplayer (except via direct IP), but Electronic Arts is currently conducting further online beta testing with it, so it may emerge as a good online Internet racer. For now, though, the top dogs are N3, DTR, and GPL. - JB In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote: > Just wondering what racers are known to work really well with online > racing... > > Andrew > > Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
