Le Mans

I'm sitting here listening to the live net broadcast of the 24 Hours and just wondering why we don't have a decent Sports Car sim. Think of the online endurance races we could have! www.broadcast.com/sports/autoracing/lemans98/ BTW, Martin Brundle currently leads in the Toyota. Don

Wow, Thanks a million. Girlfriend's got the tv all tied up with Belmont horse race:(

Not really the type of thing that was initially mentioned, I think. I know that I'd much prefer to see a sijm based on the Sports Prototypes raced at Le Mans in the 60s/70s........not this type of thing.

Hey Don. You need to check out "http://www.simproject.com". They have been working on WSC/GTP add-ons for ICR2. Go to their links page and click on "MIRacing", They have been having an online 24hr edurance race for the past two years

Are you absolutely sure that it's "on-line"? > They have been having an online > 24hr edurance race for the past two years -- Regards, Bruce. ---------- The GP Legends Historic Motor Racing Club is located at:- http://www.netspeed.com.au/brucek/legends/

It is not online. However, it uses ICR2 with the Sports cars from TSP :)). It works by drivers transfering racesaves via ICQ. It is truely one of the best events on the net for sim racing. Check out http://www.miracing.com/endurance/index.htm especially this years winners :)))))))))))))))) Unfortunately, this years season has yet to begin for reasons so far unknown. Keep a lookout for E24III though.

Yup...I knew it wasn't an on-line job, Byron. Just my way of asking the bloke to check his info. > It is not online. However, it uses ICR2 with the Sports cars from TSP :)).

I'm with you, Bruce. I want to drive a GT-40 or a Cobra Coupe. A Mini Cooper might be fun, too. I also want a late 60's-early 70's CanAm sim, so I can drive one of those beautiful Chaparrals.

How dare you talk about a Mini Cooper (sports car??!) in the same paragraph as the beautiful GT-40, Cobra, & Can-Am Chaparrals!! :))

HEY!!!:))))Most of the guys bulding/driving those beauties had a Mini somewhere for the fun of it. Even the late, great Enzo Ferrari had a Mini Cooper S he used to thrash around the local back roads! BTW, bring the sim around ASAP!!! Having seen most of those cars live (Goodwood, 97), a sim would be great.... All best, Matt -- Matthew Knutsen Cheek Racing Cars http://home.sol.no/~kareknut/

Bill Wells is involved with the FEMA outfit, and has been swamped by this season's unusually-bad effects El Nino has had on the US. As soon as he gets some free time, he'll be back, whether it be by remote link, or if they actually let him go home. =P Cheers! Marc -- Marc J.

Yeah, I just heard on the news today that weather is still turbulent in the U.S. I thought all that had died down and Bill may have lost interest or something. Hope it all clears soon and the enduro is back on!
