April Fools Racing Legends demo post

John P posted a fake announcement that a Racing Legends demo was out, which several readers fell for and asked for a link. Others noted the long-delayed project was a yearly April Fools target and joked about TOCA Race Driver getting a steering patch.

There was a post here a while ago about the possible RL April fools posts, some guys got really upset that we could make a joke out of a serious attempt at a sim like RL. Maybe we should crack a joke about Toca Race Driver. Like there's a steering patch coming out this week! Andi.

It's not supposed to be original, it's just tradition ;-) I wish the West Bros every success, and I look forward to seeing something tangible. Their 'extended' development time costs the community nothing, and provides us with a glimmer of hope and endless entertainment ;-) Malc.

They were going to release a Pole Position demo tomorrow, but they're still working on the physics model.

Actually, the toilets spin in the other direction in parts of South America, southers Africa and pretty much everywhere else south of the Equator, but for strange reasons only Austrialia is famous for it. :D But when I was in Australia I and wanted to see the water flush the other direction, I experienced what probably 95 % of the other visitors experience : Didn't even remember what way it was spinning on the northern hemisphere :) -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

Just in case you believe the way water drains on both hemispheres is actually any different : http://www.ems.psu.edu/~fraser/Bad/BadCoriolis.html Jan. =---

Isn't it funny that a disucussion of RL turns into one of toilets? Must be a coincidence.
But there is really !! http://www.codemasters.com/redirect/redirect.php?url=/tocaracedriver/english /front.htm It would have been funnier if there weren't though ;-) Andi. "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:57%ha.1475$[email hidden]...
