The winner of this year's Winston Cup plays F1GP. With an afterseason race at Suzuka in Japan in November 1996 Jeff Gordon said that he wanted to drive there and was already learning the track on a home computer game. Unless there's another game that has Suzuka on it, real Champions play F1GP Max

Woops! Actually NASCAR will be doing an Exhebition (spl?) race at Suzuka at the end of the '96 season. Nov 24th, I think. They might put Suzuka in the '97 circuit. Oh, and I didn't hear it from Autoweek. I think I heard it on ESPN, or something. My mistake.

Wow, I would have thought there was a major difference between the handling characteristics of a light, precise F1 car and a big lumbering NASCAR car! I believe a number of the current F1 drivers also use the game (Rubens Barichello and Mika Salo among them). There was a review of the game in Autosport a few years back. I seem to remember it said that Oliver Gavin used the game to learn the Spa circuit, and went out the following day and won a Formula Renault (maybe) race there. Do I also seem to remember that Williams used it too? Can anyone give us any more definitive information on just who in the World of Motor Sport uses F1GP? Thing is, I want them all to use my new editor when it's released so I get lots of free tickets to races and things ;-))) It would be nice if a few F1 drivers had internet access, and could actually comment in this group on how the simulators compare to the real thing (maybe they do have already, but are lurking without posting. Jean? Eddie? Michael? Damon? Are you out there?). Steve.

The 1996 NASCAR season includes Suzuka as one of the courses in the circuit. NASCAR says they want more drivers/fans in Japan.

I have also heard that Bobby Labonte likes to Drive Nascar. How'd you likw to drive with Bobby over the modem?... and I wonder if he has the IWCC Carset so he can drive his own car? Tony, you should mail a disk with WNSTNCUP.EXE on it to him!

I've also heard that Paul Tracy was stoked on Indycar 1 and played it on his laptop.
