Online Racing Article from Automobile Magazine

HI Kids, Please excuse me if this has already been addressed, but I saw an article about online racing in a recent issue of Automobile Magazine that even mentions r.a.s. and thought I might scan it and make it available for readers of this NG who missed it. I posted it here: http://greenday.ntu.edu/daxe/de/online.htm To get to the next page, just click anywhere on the page you are reading. The sidebars are on page 3. You should be able to see it on a than nothing. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

It's good, except they mentioned that some title by, let's call them "U", was considered better than Gp2 and something about GPL. Im impressed, the more articles like that the better. Nice summary of the whole community, the good and weakness of racing simulation and history (except on Hawaii it was 32+ not 20drivers maximum at the end). -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Thanks for the post.. to bad NROS is now defunct which kind of leads one to look upon this article as dated.

>Thanks for the post.. to bad NROS is now defunct which kind of leads one to look >upon this article as dated. One must remember that the article wasn't directed towards people who race online, it was written for people who have no idea what online racing is about, so the fine points are not terribly important. Once I had this up, I decided to send it to some family and friends who have always wondered what I was crowing about. Already, several have called me wanting more info about it! Seems the article does its job OK for the uninformed. They were the target, anyway. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

>Thanks for the post.. to bad NROS is now defunct which kind of leads one to look >upon this article as dated. It is dated, as are all monthly mags. Figure on a 2 month lead time between when it's written and in your hands, at least. Usually it's over 2 months. It's a lot different than here, where stuff is posted minutes after release. Tim

I didn't think of doing that. Now that you've mentioned it, I can't find the link anymore. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

Yeah..that's a DUH for me. I forgot to mention when reposting the URL that I made it so you can just click anywhere and get to the next page 1>2>3>1>2>etc. You all are supposed to read my mind, didn't you know that? :o) daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
