xref: [link lost in import] This is from a post to Sierra's Message Board by Dan Clarke of Operation Sports. Click the link above to get to the actual post. Subject: NASCAR 2000/NASCAR 3 From: Dan Clarke/Operation Sports Host: d-207-5-165-112.s-way.com Date: Sun May 16 09:17:51 Now that the cat has been let out of the bag, I want you all to know that myself, Craig and Scott (all staff of Operation Sports) went to Papryus last week pre-E3. We know what the inside scoop is, and we saw and heard some things that I think the *** sim fan (as well as the regular racing fan) will be very happy with. I know this sounds awful, but we need to respect the wishes of Sierra and Papryus here. There is nothing official yet, and things in this industry can change by the second. There would be nothing more embarassing for us to post something about a certain game and then find out that it's not going to happen. So, until it is official we will not say anything. I can say that the referenced article that many are you are pointing to is not 100% the case. I really want to let you all know what's going on, but I think you'll all know the story later this week. On one hand, I don't want to hold things back, but on the other hand, I don't want you all basing your opinions on one article that may or may not be correct.

where's Jim Sokoloff when you need him? :) Many thanks to him and all the papy's of the past who have kept a good dialogue with us over the years, but it does seem like that era may be gone to a point. I didn't buy N99, and might not buy 2000 if it's not much better than N2 in areas other than cosmetics, lets face it Nascars shouldn't be as hard to drive as GPL cars any how, so why does it need to be dumbed down? There's always MGI though, they seem to be making good racing games. and there are other projects in the works... good luck.
