New sims

List of sims that most of us would like to see: '90s era Bernie's World of Hype (F1) sim <-- gotta make this one '80s era Formula One sim <-- with turbo effect please!! Indy Racing League (IRL) sim <-- not one that I would buy, but I think others would like to see this one World of Outlaws sim <-- would be nice to see this one IKF Enduro/Sprint Kart/Speeway Kart sim <-- MicroProse didn't do a good job with theirs, so somebody else should give it another try '80s era Le Mans/endurance/IMSA sim <-- I'd love to take one of those WM Peogeot's for a spin '90s era Le Mans/endurance/IMSA sim <-- should include the Rolex 24, providing Sega gives up the rights to Daytona Rally sim <-- there might be one already one, though NASCAR Trucks sim <-- I don't really care for this idea, but others might like it Can Am sim <-- I don't know much about Can Am, but I have heard that a lot of people would like this idea Sports car sim <-- Something similar to NFS/NFS II, but more like a sim than an arcade game. Should include sport cars like McLaren F1, Lamborghini Diablo VT, Porsche 911 Turbo, Lister Storm, Ferrari F50, Dodge Viper. Touring car sim <-- should be fun School bus racing sim <-- I heard that they race these in NC. Kind of a stupid concept, but it should be something funny.

> List of sims that most of us would like to see: > School bus racing sim <-- I heard that they race these in NC. Kind of a > stupid concept, but it should be something funny. I resemble that comment about North Carolina. We rednecks down here do indeed race school buses. Not only that, but competition is very close as all buses are governed to 35mph and have the exact same suspension setup. That's right! To be more competitive through the turns, you have to get all the heavier kids moved to the side of the bus toward the apex. Yep, it's white knuckle e***ment to be sure. My patented move is to extend the red "stop" sign when I am being passed on the left. When the passing driver gets ticket-shy because he thinks he's passing a stopped school bus, I reclaim my spot. Also, I have all the kids sit near the pack of the bus, because at high speed, this causes the rear end to be looser through the turns. And, as even us North Carolina, Bus-racin' folks know, a loose bus is a fast bus!! -- Matt Lewis

How would you adjust bias on the bus? Put more kids on the right or left sides of the bus! Shock adjustement should be no problem if they are anything like the school buses I used to travel on! John

Yeah, well, I was reading on Late Model Digest Quick Notes ([link lost in import] that there is a group forming a series for tandem-axle dump trucks in West ***ia. ONLY in West ***ia..... [ quickn.htm < 1K ] File Not Found The requested URL /lmdigest/quickn.htm was not found on this server.

Full of kids or not? You are a sick puppy:). Come to think of it, those kids in NC appear that all the *** in their head is drawn to the right side of their heads, so who knows? Think of the advertising you could stick on one of these things! I hear Bill France is discussing his plans for Bus Racing with BlueBird and GMC, though rumor has it that the BlueBird has a big aerodynamic advantage over the GMC....... ^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^% AWDIWO Racing Inc.

A group in WV has come up with tandem-axle dump truck racing... Anyways... here we go with the "Ford vs. Chevy" of the school bus set....

There we go....dump truck racing on ovals. Fill it half up with trash or dirt, and then move it around to adjust wedge and all the other weight stuff.

Haven't you ever seen Smokey and the Bandit II(Think its that one). They are racing Semis (just the cab section) at Talladega. Strange. Very strange. -- Todo Es Justo En Amor Y Carreras.

Is there such a thing as shopping kart racing? If you wanna get really silly, make a sim out of that. Tracks would include Walmart, Kmart, and Super Kmart.

> Haven't you ever seen Smokey and the Bandit II(Think its that one). > They are racing Semis (just the cab section) at Talladega. Strange. Very strange. Nope, it was at Atlanta, and it was the VERY FIRST GATR (Great American Truck Racing) Series race ever held, back in 1983. This series developed into tube chassis trucks racing on dirt powered by the big Cat diesels.

This is very common in Europe. After spending 3 years watching Sky Sports, I have come to the conclusion that is it has wheels, Europeans will race it and Sky will broadcast it. Actually, it was quite entertaining. Volvo seemed to be into it big time. They have a setup where water is sprayed on the front disk brakes to keep the rotors from frying. And they run in excess of 110 mph. Road courses!! Don't knock it till you watch it. ( then feel free )

Must be, 'cause how else would people get so good at it. As for me, I usually end up hitting the bulk buy bags of rice at the end of the produce aisle.....

What about a Eurocars sim. The Euro version of nascar.... Anyone know if its still running. :) --Sam

Eurocars? Sure, it's gearing up for its biggest year yet! First of all, the entry list for the V8s will grow as it is now in its second year. Secondly, there is a new support package, including the new PickUpSports, a Eurocar equivalent of those Nascar Truck things :) It all looks very promising, but it'd be even better if they did a race at an oval, like Korby! -- Dave Bowers

> There we go....dump truck racing on ovals. Fill it half up with trash or > dirt, and then move it around to adjust wedge and all the other weight > stuff. Yeah why not ski-doo on Nascar tracks. Put ice and snow on tally and they are up for 300 mph. No joke. Professionnal ski-doo racing has more acceleration than a Formula 1. 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds. No joke. It would be cool at Bristol or Pocono and even Watkins Glen :) A patch Papyrus ???? :) Thanks a lot, Good race at the Brickyard, (Old'Indytrack guy) [===] Go Rubens Barrichello, Jacques Villeneuve, | ! | And all you that thinks that Jacques Villeneuve is |!| from Canada, your right!!

Ski-doo road course racing? Gotta try that one :) Going back to the dump truck idea....how about dump truck road course racing? They actually have races on road courses in Europe, in which they race huge trucks...without the trailers of course. They show them on Speedvision occasionally.

Hey a good Snowmobile Ice Racing sim would be great. Q.B.M.

Believe it or not they tried Semi truck racing at Pocono back in the late '70's (I think). It was a hoot watching the pit crews change tires on those rigs. (They must have about a dozen or so lug nuts) -Al

Hey I want my super modified shovel racer sim!

Hold yer horses thar Jason...NOT before I get my new Melody- Header_Seam_Super_Hydraulic_Toe-Nail_Extractor_(and pocket knife)_Blue-Bird_Racing_Bus_sim I heard so much about... ...and if Sega buys the rights, then it'll be a hit...NOT!! ;) Marc
