Jackie Stewart and GPL

Why isn't he featured with the BRM team in GPL? He did drive for them in '67 didn't he??? And it's not like he's an unknown...

It's called "licensing". Or lack thereof. He probably wanted more money than Papyrus was willing or able to pay. Michael K.

Wouldn't be hard to put him in the driver.ini file, if you knew the history well enough to be accurate in his abilities. (Which I don't.) Ed Benson > >It's called "licensing".

Maybe he refused to sell his name for the game, like Jacques Villeneuve in F1RS ...

One has to wonder why they didn't license another "jacques Villeneuve"- not even say his uncle- just some guy from canada with the same name ;) Sure no helmet... but the idea is interesting....

That's something I hate :-( And maybe it has to do with other licenses and contracts he already has signed with other companies. It maybe that they are the ones that are preventing his "likeness" from appearing in GPL. Jackie's got quite a few irons in the fire. -- **************************** Michael E.

(Which I don't.) shoot, i'll put him in mine and make him as sorry-assed as i can so i can laugh at him every time i come up and lap him for not being a good sport and allowing GPL to use his likeness. is he the only guy that drove in 67 that is still alive? if not, have any of the drivers commented on GPL at all?

Don't know about comments but, a few are still alive - Sir Jack Brabham, Dan Gurney, and John Surtees all come immeidiately to mind. Hulme and Hill did survive F1 Hill was killed in a plane crash and Hulme died of a heart attack (while racing a saloon car I think) a year or so back. bob >> Wouldn't be hard to put him in the driver.ini file, if you knew the history >> well enough to be accurate in his abilities.

I thought I saw Jack Brabham listed in the on-screen credits.

It was quite a few years ago now, maybe 10, I'm not sure. Denny was racing in the 1000km touring car race at Bathurst, Australia. I remember because I was watching the race on TV. Peter Holt

Same as if you tried to contract some Mr. Macdonald to use his name for your new burger chain. It would still be some sort of copyright infringement. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome.

I fail to see how. Villeneuve can not assume ownership of the copyright for his name based on other people being born and quite legally being called Jacques Villeneuve. His likeness, nor indeed his helmet would be in the game, so i fail to see how he could do anything. Anyway, it's a moot point now, as the FIA have slapped the wrists of drivers, and now that cannot withhold it for licensed products of the FIA. Z.

> Isn't Chris Amon still alive? yep, he's still around here in New Zealand. i think he's a farmer now. i think he also consults for Toyota NZ. "Buy this new Toyota Corolla with Chris Amon tuned suspension!" etc etc.

>> Isn't Chris Amon still alive? >yep, he's still around here in New Zealand. i think he's a >farmer now. i think he also consults for Toyota NZ. "Buy this >new Toyota Corolla with Chris Amon tuned suspension!" etc etc. FYI, somewhere near Bulls. He's a dairy farmer. :) Incidentally, Toyota NZ at one time claimed he was a F1 World Champion. I recall ringign them and being told "whoops, but he is a champion in our eyes". Z.

Hi Peter and others, Denny Hulme suffered a fatal heart attack during the 1992 Bathurst 1000 race.His car pulled over and stopped beside the track,everyone thought his car had suffered a mechanical failure,but when marshalls got to the car he was dead.His harness hadn't even been unbuckled.At least he died doing something he loved. Sir Jack Brabham is still racing.He won his class at a race at the Nurburgring recently driving a turbocharged Volkswagen Beetle.I'm not sure if it was a touring car race or some sort of GT race.He is about 72 years of age!! I would love to see him try GPL and hear his comments. >It was quite a few years ago now, maybe 10, I'm not sure. Denny was >racing in the 1000km touring car race at Bathurst, Australia.

these guys have got to know that they are in the sim. you figure that they would at least want to see how they fare. damn, i would. rrevved, your a famous guy, get ot work, man! get these fellas on the horn.

Oh dear. Who's going to tell him. There is no Santa Claus, tooth fairy or Ronald Mc Donald. The guy in the ads is just a warning to all that he's what you'll look like after a triple Big Mac and flies every day. Simon Page. <SNIP> > :) But it wouldn't work.

Yes it would work. Have you seen The Best Buy commercials where they got some guy named Bill Gates (a different one of course) as their new spokesman for computers.?
