I heard that he was coming over here to attend a stock car race soon. Rumor is that is what is being considered if he doesn't get picked up next season with the 2-cars-only per factory team thing the FIA just threw out there. It would be interesting to see if he could compete in a field of 43 as I am sure he could handle a car alone on a track.

He does know that they don't have co-driver/navigators in NASCAR, right? LOL! Had to say that. I'd like to seem him try just to see if he could cut it or not. Most competitive drivers are good in whatever they get into, I'm sure he'd be no different.

They still have to release a playable version of CMR3... then they can start on the PC version of CMR4...? ChrisB -- 1.1!#@ 10.40 yrs "Stephen F." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f670af8$[email hidden]... > ... what happens to Codemasters' marketing plans? :-) > >

But he'll feel right at home with his good old boy spotter yacking his ear off. No man is an island. ;o) Elrikk

Seems as though they've abandoned CMR3 or something and are now just going to replace it with CMR4. Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "ChrisB" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:EnM9b.1381$[email hidden]... > They still have to release a playable version of CMR3... then they canstart

'Left - Long 300, Left - Long 600, Left - Long....' LOL! I can only imagine the scanner chatter like this ;-) I really do think it'd be a hoot to see, but alas, Dave Despain said something about Colin had come out and said thanks but no thanks that he was sticking to WRC and then Dave made some snide but accurate comment about CM not having a ride for next season in WRC or that Citreon was showing no interest in him for next season or something to that effect. We'll see I reckon.

Yeah.. I know. My point is, why bother trying to fix up a game that is flawed in it's basic engine design just to please a few whiney sim racers... when you can make a whole new game for the consoles, sell it and walk away?
