GT/Sports car sims?

Howdy: I've been enjoying this group for a month now, and have yet to see any discussion of simulations of GT, Endurance, or Sports Car racing sims. Are there any good ones? Any plans to make one? You know what I mean--racing at LeMans, Daytona, Sebring, etc. in a Mclaren/BMW F1, a Panoz, Ferrari 333sp--maybe even a GT-40 or a Cobra coupe, a Chaparral, or a Porsche 917. does anyone alse share my desire for this kind of racing? Bob

The best compromise i have found is the sports car carsets available at Sim Project: [link lost in import] i think its 86gtp Silk cut Jags/Mercedes/962s ect. The set is for Papyrus Cart. so you will have to run on the indy circuits,you could sqint a bit and imagine road america is La Sarthe *** Grantham :]

Aabout as close as you can get now are some carsets for Indycar Racing 2/Cart Racing that change the look of the Championship cars to 1986 GTP cars. You can check those cars out at The Sim Project. (I think they also have one newer set from the 90's. dave henrie

Bob, I think there are a great many of us who would love to see a sports car sim. Personally, I wouldn't mind blasting around Riverside in Mark Donahue's 917 30K, or the Mille Miglia in Fangio's Mercedes! All we have to do is convince the software companies.... Don

I'd love to see a GTP sim, but how likely is that? USRRC/Professional SportsCar would be cool too, but right now all we have are the GTP cars for IndyCar II, which are pretty good but don't drive like GTPs. -Sean O'

Take a look at [link lost in import: /;has] a preview of Professional Sportscar Racing sim by *** Regards Tom Petersen

Look at the preview at: http://www.digitalsports.com/pc2/sportscar/preview.html Viper GTRs, Porsche 911 GT1s etc. racing on tracks like Mosport and some major speedway with an infield section (couldn't be Daytona, could it?) : I'd love to see a GTP sim, but how likely is that?

Hey, thanks for the URL Steve! If this thing is half decent it will be taking up a lot of peoples time :) Anyone have any inside info on exactly how good this thing is looking? Arcade or sim?

When you get the set fron TSP, if you want to join or start a team then head on over to [link lost in import] and have a look around. The director of this league is currently tied up with El Nino commitments but it should be up and running soon enough :) So, how do you feel about a 24 hour race and many 12 hour, 6 hour, etc events???????????

Read the guff about this sim and you'll just about have multiple ***s! -- Regards, --- Bruce. The Grand Prix Legends Historic Motor Racing Club:- http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/

EA Sports were alledged to be working on a Le Mans sim a couple of years ago. Think it got cancelled though. Mike.

Endurance racing would be great! Bob

> Endurance racing would be great! It sure is. Best form of racing on the net except for NROS. Hopefully it too will be online soon.

Given that none of the screenshots feature an in-car view, I suspect this will be another arcade racer... -- Neil Yeatman Ajax, Ontario, CANADA

Hey Byron, Have a look at this month's Next-Gen mag...They've got a full write-up on the new sim, and what's really cool are the car shots - the Mustangs look like...er, well...Mustangs!! =)) Cheers! Marc BTW, there's a tiny shot of an in-car view, but so far, it ain't all that great looking, but at least it's there. =) > Hey, thanks for the URL Steve!

Doesn't MIRacing provide ICR2 endurance racing? It would be nice to see a 'real' sportscar sim sim though. Although right now I can't wait to see if Sim***world can make an infield at Talladega!! ==================== Jon Van Ginneken

The one I mentioned has to do with late-'60's T/A events, in American built muscle cars (Mustangs, AMX's, etc). Cheers! Marc

Isn't this the same game that was featured as "Imsa Racing"?Ed of the "Paddock" has an AVI he downloaded, by the same company...it featured *real* racecars, though, 333s, MkIII R&S etc:)))) There were good in-car views, and real tracks etc, but there were also some shots from "arcade" type tracks....?;(( Matt (hoping) -- Matthew Knutsen Cheek Racing Cars http://home.sol.no/~kareknut/
