Viper Racing

I finally got to spend some time playing Viper Racing. When you finally get all the upgrades you can buy while still in the "club" class the car really gets fun to drive. GPL is still better but Viper Racing is pretty good in its own right Mike Opinions expressed herein are my own and may not represent those of my employer.

If it hadn't hit the shelves at the same time as GPL, I think we'd hear a lot more people singing praises for Viper Racing. And if had preceded GPL by a large margin, Viper Racing would have set a new benchmark for realistic physics modeling in racing sims. As it is, though, GPL has greatly overshadowed Viper Racing, which is a shame because it's such a great game. FWIW, I've heard that Viper Racing has out-sold GPL, though, which means that while many aren't singing its praises here in the newsgroup, the quiet majority has been voting with their wallets. <G> -- JB

Thats mainly because its a mainstream product and the viper is a well known sports car and people would love to drive it. Talk to anyone about sixties cars, and they think the cars are probably real slow, and they probably dont know what a Brabham or a BRM is at all, never mind an Eagle-Weslake. Cheers Ross
