N3/GPL converter and GSB

I was asked today on Game Spy Boy about converting the N2 tacks for use with GPL. I told him that there was a converter. He replied with something like, I have to get Dega converted. Just a bit ago I was thinking about TEN. 30 dega's running, some with a full field of 24 drivers and other filled with one and two drivers and a mass of them with mixed numbers of drivers. And then there were 2 or 3 other tracks running. a ratio of 30 to 2 in favor of Dega. :-( When N3 is released, and then the converter a bit later, I can see what GSB is going to look like.. Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Dega Monza Dega Dega Spa Dega Dega Dega Rouen Dega Dega Dega Bristol As much fun as the roundy rounds are for close competition, I think it's going to be hard as hell to find 20+ drivers to fill any one of the road courses. I can also see GPL-GSB becoming a ghost town. Lets all pray for a NASCAR-GSB and a separate GPL-GSB. I'm not entirely sure this is the way to go... I just hate to see those fantastic road courses get swept under the rug. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? MikeBa on the TEN network.

Yeah, what's the deal with Dega? I never understound why that track was so popular. You have to run so close to one another. If somebody warps, it's a crash fest. Plus, when the car is damaged, there's no way you're gonna be competitive. Might as well quit. Bring on Bristol and the other short tracks! Driving makes a difference there. Philster

Don't know that I agree, Mike. I think there are many of us who appreciate road racing (and for that matter GPL) for it's relative complexity. Those that fall in that category, which I think includes quite a few North American, and the majority of European and Aussie GPL drivers, won't be willing to sacrifice that complexity for an opportunity to turn left in close quarters. From what I've observed, the oval track craze on VROC suffered a rather rapid demise. Can't imagine that the addition of more oval tracks will make that much of a difference with formula car fans.

I like IRP personally. You really gotta be hooked up there to run good. Chris

Sorry but... I love Spa too much to give it up. -- Tim "Calm Down" Wheatley ________________________________________________ Tim Wheatley "Yellow menacing helmet in the mirror" http://start.at/igps_stats IGPS - Ferrari Challenge - UKGPL - Summer Cup Driver http://drive.to/grandprixlegends http://website.lineone.net/~nascar ________________________________________________
