F1RS & GP2 Fans- Grand Prix of Monaco

Hey all you F1RS and GP2 lunatics, FYI, this Sunday at 5.00AM Pacific time, the Speed Channel is carrying coverage of the Grand Prix of Monaco. While snippets will no doubt be available later and on other channels, this will be starting gun to checkered flag coverage, _live_ as it happens. If they broadcast in Dolby Pro-Logic surround (often they do) I may be in big trouble with my neighbors <ggg.> As a big fan of F1RS, this will be my first time to watch the race after having "driven" the course, should be alot of fun. All the best, Mike -- Michael S. Davis Creative Media-Works Computer/Audio/Video Convergence "from Creative minds spring Creative solutions." http://www.creativemedia-works.com

Speedvision should also be covering qualifying live at 7AM (EDT) Saturday. I've been enjoying the qualifying sessions almost as much as the race, as they drive much closer to the "edge" than they can afford to during the race. They have exactly 1 hour to get it all done. Watch for Schumacher -- he always gets out there for the final fast lap try just seconds before the session ends! -- Doug Gordon (Remove "nospam." from e-mail address) >Hey all you F1RS and GP2 lunatics, > FYI, this Sunday at 5.00AM Pacific time, the Speed Channel is >carrying coverage of the Grand Prix of Monaco.

Gee, I wish I had Speed Vision. Coverage is scheduled to start at 2:00 in Portland, On Fox Sports Network. But we have the benefit of being entertained by a million little commercials while all you get to watch is the race. That is a great benefit of racing sims. The first race this year that I've seen a whole lap with an in-car camera was Spain. I slowly toured that track while starting and pausing the VCR. F1RS looked VERY accurate. The only serious error I've seen so far is at the back part of Imola. The grade between Variante Alfa and Rivazza is all wrong. This section is more like GP2 show it. Of course GP2 doesn't show the changes made to Tamburello. I've read that other tracks have problems, but I'll reserve judgment until I see the televised race. I bet the Monaco pit exit in F1RS is not right. I saw two Computer cars collide big time when one exited the pits in front of another ripping down the front straight. Then I had a *** confrontation with my team mate, Michael Shumacher, at the same point. That's a good reason to save during the race. Larry
