This is an appeal to Jacques Villeneuve to lift the monetary restriction
on using his name in racing simulations.
This is upsetting a lot of your supporters.
We all know you earn a lot of money and we are pleased that you
can be financially secure, but this is not the way to please your
Canadian fans.
I hope you will treat this request seriously.
John Cookson (Canada)
All of my sims have Jacques Villeneuve leading the pack with all the
right sponsors (and even the right helmet!) I don't think this is big
issue. If he releases the copyright it may just open the floodgates for
all kinds of nonsense. I respect his privacy.

That's right- 'ol JV claimed "a computer video game" (which turned out
to be GP2) helped him earn his first win at Hungaroring. He also said
the he could never finish better thatn 6th or so in the game.
I've also read in some UK Playstation mag that Damon and some other
driver made requests to Psygnosis fro copies of their then upcoming F1
sim for Playstation.
that sig needs some work,

Pah. He copyrighted his father's name too. I wonder how much he
charged Mail Poste to make those stamps....
Maybe we should all wait for Jacques Villeneuve's Collusion F1 sim-
duel for the championship and hand the race to Mika.
Anyway, it matters not. I'm sure in a few months, there will be an
editor, with proper car ads, helmets, etc. I hope Rebrica Saso has a
3Dfx card....then again, his GP2 cars looked so good, maybe we can all
pitch in and get him one.

Actually Canada Post did not have to pay any royaltys or fees for useing
Gills name. Jacques just let Canada Post use it (and if Jacques said no,
the liberals qould just table a bill and push it through the house
anyways)
And I say to the first post that Jacques not lending his name and
likeness to a computer *** company will get him to lose fans in
Canada... Or the world for that matter.

Ben certain que chu d'accord, me semble que c'est juste normal qu'y
veuille pas mettre son nom sur n'importe quoi... Pis en plus c'est
pas un nom sans signification, y'a toute une histoire derriere ca...
Reste quand meme que j'espere qu'y va y avoir un hacker quek'part qui
va prendre les choses en mains pour qu'on puisse creer notre propre
ecurie, pis aussi mettre notre propre nom, moi ca me fait ch...
d'avoir a courser sous le nom d'un autre!
Mais la... J'dis ca pis j'ai meme pas encore joue, ou meme encore vu
la sim, alors j'vais quand meme pas partir en croisade tout de
suite... eheh! Faudrait tout de meme que ca tourne su' mon P200 avec
une Intense3D... Y parait qu'c'est lent meme avec une 3DFX,
j'commence a avoir la chienne, j'veux pas etre encore pogne pour
upgrader! Surtout que j'ai pas le cash pour le faire tout de suite...
Au pire, j'vais juste me sentir comme quand GP2 est sorti, j'avais un
486 dx2/66 pis j'pouvais pas jouer en svga... Mais la avec F1RS
j'pense que j'pourrai meme pas jouer en VGA! Y parait qu'y'a pas
beaucoup d'options pour les details, qu'on peut pas enlever tout ce
qui gobe du CPU... Bon, ca y'est j'm'emporte encore... Faut quand
meme attendre que j'aie vu de quoi ca a l'air sur ma machine! Le
probleme c'est que j'en peux pu d'attendre!!!

y doivent quand meme en comprendre des bouttes...
Qui sait? Eheh... Mais quand meme, j'me demande si Ubisoft a pas
encode ca trois fois a la demande de la FOCA... On sait jamais, c'est
qu'y sont rendus puissants les tdc...
Rhaaaaaa.... Maudit viarge de mardeux!!! J'ai pas c'te genre de cash
la, moe chu encore pogne avec mon P200 (pogne avec... quand meme, ca
fait meme pas six mois que je l'ai!) mais je commence a penser que ce
qui m'handicape le plus c'est d'avoir juste une reactor et pas de
carte 3DFX... La chu dans la marde parce que j'ai pas le cash que ca
prend pour acheter une bonne 3DFX... Peut-etre que F1RS va me faire
changer d'idee, ca reste a voir... J'me demande si c'est quand meme
acceptable F1RS avec une rendition, j'ai pas vu grand monde parler de
la performance en d3d...
Ouain... J'ai vu ca une couple de fois a la tv, ca me faisait baver
juste a voir les graphiques de c'te jeu la... Ostie que ca prends du
temps sortir une sim astheure! R'garde Starting Grid de visiware, moi
ca fait un sacrament de boutte que j'attends apres, pis y'ont toujours
pas bouge... Y'etaient supposes d'annoncer leur distributeur au debut
de l'annee pis on le sait meme pas encore! Le jeu a l'air pas pire,
pis en plsu y va etre accelere pour les 3dfx, alors faut quand meme
watcher ca...
On s'en calisse! Ahahahah!

Sim racers can do things with a sim that no real racer in his right
mind would ever do. I think if I was a real F1 racer I might stay away
from sims to ensure I did not get into bad habits and think that hitting
a wall at 200mph was no big deal. Just hit restart and ..........Oops -
I forgot this was the real thing.
Not to get in a big debate one way or another, but Dale Earnhart
got screwed out of millions before protecting his name...Whatever
the real reason, I'm sure JV has several besides a quick buck.
Cheers!
