Just about a minute ago i saw one of the driver competing there this weekend driving Road Atlanta in SCGT while he was waiting for his race to start!! Now ive heard of other drivers in other series using Sims to hone their skills (Dale Jr. in NASCAR to name one); but i looks as if SCGT has made its apperance in the Pro Sprorts car ranks. Chris

Yes I noticed that :). And they said that driver learned how to race cars almost solely on the computer. ============== Adam Zerlin GT Insider Webmaster www.gtinsider.com ============== GTIC Organiser Sponsored by MadCatz http://spcargt.sports-gaming.com ============== Schlomo4 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Just about a minute ago i saw one of the driver competing there thisweekend > driving Road Atlanta in SCGT while he was waiting for his race to start!!Now > ive heard of other drivers in other series using Sims to hone their skills > (Dale Jr. in NASCAR to name one); but i looks as if SCGT has made itsapperance > in the Pro Sprorts car ranks. > > Chris

Well since the runoffs is at Mid Ohio, I really don't know how driving Road Atlanta would be much help.

At one point in time, a real (sorta) F1 driver learned the layout of a track he'd not been to before using a computer game. It was innocent and honest. From here on out though, it's a marketing ploy. The TV stations think it will attract a different audience and the game manufacturers probably don't mind either.
