Can you imagine trying to control a 1000hp 917 Porsche in the rain? Or to re-run the great races between the Camaros, Mustangs and Javelins? | )/-\(_)|__ ("'-''-/").___..--''"'-._ | '6_ 6 ) '_.

How about a version of the IMSA GTP series of a few years ago. Now those were REAL race cars. I still have a poster of the Bud Light Jaguar driven by Davey Jones and one of the Acura NSX (Camel Lights Champion) driven by Parker Johnstone on the wall above my PC. WSC just does'nt have the same flair as GTP. John

That's exactly right, John, and I can tell you that trying to drive a Camel Lights car with one eye on the road and one in the mirror waiting for Brabham or Robinson or Cobb or whoever ina GTP car to blow you off is thrilling. Yeah, make the sim, I'll pay biiiiiiig bucks for it!!

They've been working with McLaren for over half a year now, so it should be great to be able to drive an F1 GTR down the Mulsanne! I'm not sure about which other manufacturers will be included, but here's hoping for the Viper and DB7 entries' inclusion. Martin

John, I agree. I used to go see the old "group C" cars at SPA, LE MANS, Silverstone etc. The company which I work for actually built a C2/camel lights car which became outlawed when FIA put their *** hands on the championship. (It was becoming a threat to F1). in Europe, we still run these cars in several championships, like the Interseries (one of the old BUD LIGHT cars showed up there last year!). I would gladly lend our car to Papyrus as a starting point. I have driven it for real, and the SIM would be just AMAZING!! The SIM should also include engine options; say if you are running a Spice, you could choose from Chevy V8, Ferrari V12, or like our Ford 1.7 litre Turbo, Mazda Rotary etc...Remember the Nissan GTP cars? Drool, drool..... Matthew, Sportsprototype-maniac. Cheek Racing Cars, Norway.

From what I know Price Cobb is a huge fan of the sims avail and he also races R/C cars for those who like that kind of stuff. -my 2 cents -Matt
