NASCAR 4 and GPL in Europe

I wonder: will NASCAR 4 pull many European GPL addicts over the line to start NASCAR racing instead, finally making the European NASCAR community grow to respectable sizes? What do you European GPL-nuts think about that vision? --- Joeri J. Cox European Racing League GM - http://drive.to/erl 502 Racing co-founder - http://www.502racing.com

Of course, if you want to be a champion driver, you'd have to limit yourself to one sim. Without participation of European drivers, almost exclusive oval tracks and NO presence on TV there's no chance for Nascar in Europe... ;( l8er ronny -- This is Linux country.

Agree, that only one sim on my harddisk statements are really silly. > Without participation of European drivers, almost exclusive oval tracks and > NO presence on TV there's no chance for Nascar in Europe... ;( Eurosport is supposed to do a extensive coverage of NASCAR this year. 1/3 of the races live, the rest on tape delay. -- Olav K.

THEN i get eurosport and they did some LIVE acts 1999. 2000 was a bad year for european nascar fans, but Eurosport announces to broadcast more Nascar races this year. bye, Wolfgang member of http://www.drive.to/ERL Nascar Team FLYING TIRES www.flyingtires.kronthaler.net

i don't know Joeri - I still have major problems with any sport that involves driving largely in circles on a banked track !! I'm not sure making the experience any more realistic will make it any more interesting to a Englishman raised on country b-roads and mini coopers ! Now what I really would like to see is a TT Era simulator based on the Papyrus physics engine - there's no doubt it could be done - I'm thinking GPLEA's Goodwood - Aston DB4GTZ , Ferrari 250GTO , Cobras , Jag D's & E's , Porsche RSK's & 904's .... I just can't understand why nobody's suggested this. Lord knows we've enough Rally , F1 , Oval , Touring cars , all done to death if not yet done well enough - is it down to product placement money , paying for game development ? Does Historic / Legends just spell commercial disaster ? Regards to the list 00JimWheatly-2.62GPLR Joeri Cox <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yeah, Long Beach 99. They showed the start and then bragged a lot about going back to live racing. All 25 minutes of the rest of the race. Ridiculous. Rumous says that Eurosport is also going to show all the CART races live except the European ones (!) this year. So things are looking good, the new CART president has really turned things around. But as you said, it's Eurosport, so I believe it when I see it :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

But it's not official, just a rumour... ;( Anyway, think about that one: it's "Euro"sport, but they are not showing the European races. Unbelievable! ;) (Unless some national TV stations reserved the rights for those...) l8er ronny -- This is Linux country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows NT reboot.

Yeah, still awaiting something official. > Anyway, think about that one: it's "Euro"sport, but they are not > showing the European races. Unbelievable! ;) > > (Unless some national TV stations reserved the rights for those...) Correct. German channel Premiere have secured the rights or something. I think if Eurosport shows any races this year, the European races will be tape-delayed. -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

GP3 got minimum install, and N3 tracks live in the GPL folder which is about 2 gigs now ;) GP3 always gets attention when I'm looking for things to delete but then I see: just a few MB - not worth the trouble of uninstalling ;) >Agree, that only one sim on my harddisk statements are really silly. Yup.. at least you need N3 for the converter-tracks for GPL :) sorry, couldnt resist - Calis
