New Le Mans sim from EA?

I just bought Apache Longbow from EA yesterday and inside it has a "comming soon" leaflet. Right at the back, without any screen shots (obviously still pretty early in development) was a game called "Mclaren at Le Mans" - you get to drive a McLaren F1 at the 24 hours. Anybody know anything else about it? Might be good - but I'm not sure I wnat to sit in front of my computer for 24 hours :) Julian _____________________________________________________________________ University of Oxford

I=B4ve also read about this in PC GAMER June, and they said it could be out in June... Thomas Heinaman

If ya hear anything please mail us m8. Cheers The answers are there. You just have to know where to look... Check out my web page for all your links to F1GP,Indycar,ICR2,Nascar and X-Files. Do it know : http://members.aol.com/ARobe85580/home.html

Predictably, I made the same stupid remark about sitting for 24 hours straight :-). Sure would've loved to be able to drive the Porsche GT1 though! Martin

And why not after all ? That would be quite funny to see some boys on the news on TV, the presentator saying : "Another defeat of the human in front of the computers : now they stay 24 hours playing a game !" -- ************************************************** * Have you ever tried a Steve Lol Experience ? * * * * http ://www.imaginet.fr/~stevelol * * (Netscape 2.0 needed) * **************************************************

After the 14th victory of Porsche at Le Mans they should re-programm it and call it 'Porsche at Le Mans' ;-) Ruediger 'Gremlin' Gemmrig http://wwwcip.rus.uni-stuttgart.de/~etk11470/f1.html

At least it should have a 'save game' feature, *unlike* ICR 1<g> ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

Perhaps with Noel Edmonds joining the fray next year, they should call it Mr Blobby at Le Mans. (This will mean nothing to the US/European readers..... Noel Edmonds is a really annoying ex-DJ who has a telly program which is complete rubbish. He has a "side-kick" on said program called Mr Blobby which is this bloke in a pink ***y costume who keeps bouncing around going "Blobby blobby blobby". Suffice to say that I hate it. Anyway, he's a Ford GT40 and motor racing nut, who with his huge amount of money made from previously mentioned program is entering Le Mans next year with a major team and probably a McLaren F1GTR. Watch out next year, Porsche... Mr Blobby is about... ahhhhhhh!!)

If they were to include Noel Edmonds as a driver in the simulation, the temptation (for me at least) would be far too great and every lap I would have to smash into the pit wall at 200mph killing several spectators/mechanics. And of course present them all with a gotcha. Jeff
