OK, here's my fantasy for 2003

This is like thanking Microsoft for finally coming out with a (relatively) stable version of Windows (XP)...it's what you have to do in a monopoly/oligopoly. I wish EA Sports would buy the services of Papy to do NT2004...essentially just picking up where NR2003 leaves off. I hope EA Sports tells Bernie to go f*** himself and not do a 2003 instalment of F1...we can just use fan-based mods, since nothing much has changed anyway. I wish EA Sports would instead use ISI and the GTR2002 geniuses to do a proper CART sim. Go head-to-head with Codies (likely to be useless) IRL sim. and show 'em who's boss. The track for the CART 2003 season are the most fantastic mixture of something-for-everyone in the world of racing today. The cars are damned nice, too. And, of course, I hope RL gets released sooner rather than later.

And, by the way...under my little scenario, it would quickly become apparent that Papy and ISI should combine their efforts and resources, so let's say they merge into one happy new sim-producing family with an endless cash-flow from EA--the new god of racing games :) And I didn't forget to mention that they hire all the GTR2002 guys, did I?

Mmm, an ISI sim with Papy netcode, LFS in-game server browser and hotlap validity checker, and out-of-the-box support for GPL 3rd party tracks. Would be good, not going to happen though is it? :0)
