This is very exciting... Coming in Late 2000 will be a Road Racing/Oval Game that will take your simulated driving experience to a new level. Truthfully its the only simulator I have driven on ASPHALT that feels exactly like a real car. Marc Nelson has driven this software as well and can attest to its incredible feeling. Unfortunately I'm not a tester for this software. This software was developed over a period of 12 years for the commercial professional driving world of Formula 1. Williams and Winston have both built multi million dollar driving simulators for their drivers, and the public as this tours tours the european circuit. This technology was also used in the Harrah's Formula 1 exhibit in Las Vegas. Maybe some of you have experienced it there. Moving this level of technology from commercial to pc and console based games will increase the realism 10 fold. I have also driven this on the the oval tracks and I swear you can feel each tire on the track and know when it loses and regains traction. Thats about all I know now. 2001 should be the breakout year for racing simulation.. No more slugs on asphalt. Now when you mass the gas, your gonna lose traction and deal with the consequences...

I sure hope the touch up the graphics though, i have never driven the willams simulator but i did see the graphics and you could say the flat polygons remined me of games like gp1. Berno.
Taking a commercial-level simulator and dedicated software and turning it into a $50 game is not necessarily going to give us EXACTLY the same experience as you have enjoyed, Don. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- -----------== 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 ==-----
