Want to have some fun? http://digitalcollage.com/indy/ You'll need a Java-capable browser (Netscape 3, MSIE 3)...Just follow the directions, wait for the track to load, and see what kind of lap times you get. :) Best Regards, Marc J. Nelson Sim Racing News - USA [link lost in import]

Very nice time!! BTW, I'm changing the graphics to reflect both a NASCAR and an IndyCar, and I've been considering the following colors: NASCAR- Labonte, Rud, Benson, Martin, Marlin (all bright colors) Indy- Unser, Vasser, de Ferran, Moore (also good, bright colors) Let me know what you guys would like. Also... I'm going to try to put together a road-course for the F1 fans. Likely colors would be Ferarri, Mclaren, Renault, Benetton. And lastly... You'll not only be able to race the clock, but race against up to 3 other players in real time...Should be fun!! :) Best Regards, Marc Marc J.

You'll eventually be able to race 4 people in real time when it's finished...I think a raodcourse would be cool as well...What do you think? :) Marc
