Can-AM ?

Anyone know when this sim will be coming out. Looks really good. Thanks

No idea. Can-Am series sorta died a horrid death, but there are some other things such as the American Lemans, and whatever sportscar league Bill France is trying to put together.

There seems to be a similiar game coming out along the same theme from Empire. There is some info and some screenshots on this site if you scroll down the news section a little http://racers.qgl.org/

Just today they announced the creation of the Grand-Am sports car series. Just what we needed,another competing series with the American Lemans series. All this can mean is smaller fields and less sponsorship. Joel Willstein

WOW! From the screenshots it looks better than SCGT. Hopefully it will hold up to that standard. Chris

>Anyone know when this sim will be coming out. Looks really good. >Thanks You're not the only waiting for this sim. But the one that I'm really looking forward to is the Can-Am 1970 Joel Willstien

Looks really good. Now if they can match those screenshots with a very flexible and highly controllable control system [which allows multiple controllers with multiple axises and buttons], a high quality networking codebase and excellent driving model, then they might have a winner. :) > On Thu, 23 Sep 1999 18:28:53 +0100, "Mike Cain" > >There seems to be a similiar game coming out along the same theme from > >Empire.

This is the 1st that I've heard about this sim. The pics are unreal!! Any more information? Joel Willstein

Joel, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The Grand Am series rules prevent the manufacturers in Le Mans from competition and they also have a rule that keeps the Panoz out of the series. So I wouldnt count out the American Lemans series and Panoz. However... I would love to have seen the return of the North American Touring Cars. Scott PA-Scott

What is an "American Lemons" series? Do they have races for old Ford Edsels and suchlike? :o) Oh! You mean "Le Mans"? Sorry! > >No idea. Can-Am series sorta died a horrid death, but there are some other

James,without all that fat corporate greed you're referring to,racing as we know it would would just disappear. Joel Willstein

Indeed, though the Edsels have unfortunately been relegated to the paddock in favor of those silly little Ferrari 333SP's and BMW LMR V12's. :-) God bless Don Panoz (even if he does build the ugliest cars in motorsport). Just spent last Saturday at Road Atlanta for the Petit Lemans 10hr/1000mi race, and I can still hear those shrieking Judd V10's. Heck, the sight of the Pilsner Urquell girls patrolling the pits in yellow spandex was alone worth the price of admission. Hope Eddie Jordan's getting a commission! BTW, the series is expanding in 2000 to include some odd-sounding furrin spots, one by the name of Adelaide (on Dec. 31, with some big date-related party to follow). In fact, Oz's premier, John Olsen was the race marshal at Atlanta. Get your Edsel Flags ready! Cheers, Steve B.

Might I add (for those of you who know a good racing series when you see it), the ALMS is also going to hold 2 races in Europe next season. Venues are TBA but the dates are set - both in May. Next year's gonna be a ball for sportscars-fans... first 2 ALMS races in May and then the big one in June at La Sarthe... Man I cant wait!!! -- All the best, Edwin Solheim *remove SPAM-GUARD in address to reply* The Paddock - a legendary site.... <http://home.c2i.net/thepaddock>

Thanks for the info, Steve. That should be a worth-while addition to he Oz racing calendar.......in fact, what Adelaide have in the pipeline purports to be as exciting as the GPs that used to be held there. I look forward to seeing those humungous Edsels careering around the track, mate! :o) Bruce.
