I don't know, guys. I think MPS has a long way to go to get F1GP to ICR's
realism standards. I wish them luck of course, because the product of a "sim
war" is incredible sim detail and realism for EVERYONE, which can't be bad :)
I have one comment, though. I think with all of the technology extant in the
creation of both of these world-class sims, why isn't there a NASCAR sim?
Konami CAN'T have exclusive rights to everything with BENC forever... and
NASCAR racing, despite its admitted good ol' boy image, is unique in form and
e***ment. Granted, sometimes I want to fly like an earthbound missile, and
that's what I use ICR for. Sometimes I want to drive like a technobot on
*** road courses; that's what I use F1GP for. But I occasionally want to
drive 3500 pounds of steel three inches from the door of the car next to me
and a foot away from the car in front of me at 200 mph, and sorry to say that
BENC satisfies that urge about as well as PONG satisfies the urge to play
Wimbledon.
SOMEONE please take advantage of the opportunity and WRITE A SIM FOR NASCAR
(please?) !!
Ps: I doubt Santa Claus will help me. :)

But there IS a great, realistic and exciting sim for all you NASCAR lovers.
Buy "The Sound of Thunder", I guess it has all the e***ment I can get
from watching NASCAR, eh.
