Watkins Glen?

Could someone please tell me if any sims have Watkins Glen with the boot? Thanks..... To respond via EMAIL to a newsgroup post, remove NO_SPAM from my address.

There is no such sim who has it. The only chance would be a user created track for either GP2 or C:PR, but I've seen almost all the tracks for GP2 and never I've seen the Glen with the boot. But it's a great idea to anybody who has spare time ;) -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

I don't think there is a Sim that has the Boot :( Believe me, if there was, I'd be the first to do all I could to convert it at any cost!! I've had the pleasure of driving the boot (slowly at about 35 mph) in my Geo Storm to drop off a corner worker at station and love the way the "Toe" is setup. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

I've driven the Glen with the boot layout at a track event. It was a blast. I find it hard to believe that it hasn't been done in a sim. Rich...

What is the boot?

There is one for GP2. I have it and drive it alot. Go to http://www.alphaf1.com/gp2/ and look in the North American tracks section. Get the one marked Watkins Glen '80. It has the chicane in the Esses but it has the boot. It fairly well done too. Chirs

The boot is a portion of the track that is mostly unused these days. Well not by the NASCAR series racing there. It was used as a portion of the track back in the days of Formula 1 racing (after the big modifications to the track) from 1971 to 1980. It is a very interesting track section, that I would love to see Winston Cups cars race there, since IIRC it goes downhill at a tremendous rate and has a weird off-camber corner I think. Here is maps of the track : http://www.forix.com/iex/img/ci/197111.gif (note the chicane in the Esses) http://www.theglen.com/graphics/map3.gif -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

hehe, I used to watch from the roof of the Glen Club as the SCCA cars jump the chacane!

Go to : http://grandprix2.ga-sports.com They have a track section that has the Glen with the boot. Or you can mail me and I'll send one to you. It's only 40kb.

Is GP2 still marketed by Microprose? I can't find it. Thanks....Rich
