Maybe not entirely a secret, but at least a confirmation of rumor. There's a picture showing Sandro Carella by a wall of sketches. Look closely, and you'll see that the sketches are of classic racing cars. This seems to confirm that, indeed, Papyrus is working on the classic racing simulation I've been saying for years would be a load of fun. Also, on the next page, there's a picture of someone, and on his computer screen is an IndyCar which appears to be slightly airborne, or riding up against a retaining wall. Whether this is a real image or computer generated can't be determined, but if it's the latter, then perhaps Papyrus is working on 3-D physics models for future sims. -- http://members.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Contemporary WB cartoons info http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI music and arrangements
"Keeper" O'Dell) says... Good catch, didn't see that the first time. Hard to see what kind of car it is, but it looks like a classic car. Look at the helmet on the guy in the one drawing. Once again, I missed this one too. hard to tell what's really going on there. But it looks like an Indy type car. What it's doing, who knows..... -- http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete Nascar..Weather..OnNetCameras..Oddities..and more.. Stop on by, what can it hurt?

You saw that too? Wow, I was just hoping someone would mention it...I was just too timid to bring it out in the open! That would be a cool sim! I didn't see that one...I'll look tonight when I get home. Great eye for detail, Ron! KS

angle makes it look like it is being held by a crane) but of course it is and indycar and I have never seen a wreck in real life (that doesn't mean it didn't happen) so it is probaly computer generated !!!!
