You can only pick one winner, and one sentimental favorite (if you want to).
<BR>
<BR>Winner: Kanaan
<BR>Sentimental favorite: Andretti

Yeah, congrats PK. I kept hoping to see you show up in the list of 49 entrants during my qualifications at Indy.

Hey Randy, can´t wait for your review. Thanks for your impressions as well Jamie! <BR> <BR>Randy, I am fairly certain Dario Franchitti was in my Indy 500, Pro, quarter distance race. <BR> <BR>So far I am pleased, but I would say the physics and damage model is far more arcade than sim. This is not a...

Thanks for the additional info. Anyone know if its out anywhere yet. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">

Nice work Arni! Sounds good so far, although I remember several CART drivers who ranted and raved about how great Microsoft´s CRAP Precision Racing was back in the day. Good thing is that most of these guys sound like actual gamers. <BR> <BR>I hope the "speed assist" can be turned off. <IMG SRC="ima...

That just proves how busy you must be, and that Codemasters must not be playing favorites. I figured you had to have the game, but just could not say anything yet due to a NDA. <BR> <BR>That is some good info from BHMotorsports as well. <BR> <BR>Even though I was ranting earlier about my dissapointm...

Sim mod legend John Bodin has posted his initial impressions of the Xbox version of Indycar Series over at the High Gear Forums. This guy has been around the sim racing community for a long time and is very knowledgable and surprisingly unbiased for an IRLista (he runs the fan site IRL Insider - <a ...

As a side note, here is what I found posted by a moderator of Codemasters Indycar Series forum regarding wheel support: <BR> <BR>"Hi Guys, <BR>The PS2 version of the game does support steering wheels that plug into the front controller port,with rumble support but unfortunately not USB wheels/ force...

Heh, I have not even tried it with the DS2. I will hook it up tonight just to see how bad it is. <BR> <BR>The control is great with the Logitech wheel. I would say on par with WOO, better than WRC, and not quite as good as GT3. <BR> <BR>PS - Make sure you have all the driving aids turned completely ...

Wow, I forgot just how tight F1 racing could be. That was an excellent 3 way battle between Senna, Prost and Schumacher at the start of the race.

Thanks for the heads up sf_z!

Excellent, thanks for posting these PK. I was just about to put this game up on ebay, but I will give these a shot first.
<BR>
<BR>PS - Is this the kind of info that could easily be transefered online if one has the Action Replay for Xbox?

PK, Do you know if they will be releasing a PC demo for the game before full release? I am stoked based on the fact that it mimics the full Indy qualifying, including bump day as no other game has ever done that. Do you know if you can actually miss the race?

"P.S. to Don: Yes, I got your e-mail. Congrats on the big news! Sorry for no reply -- busy as hell on the eve of Indy. I´ll reply sometime this week in detail. " <BR> <BR>Hey, no problem brother. I have had a slew of e-mail problems at home and at work, so I was just making sure it had not gone out ...

Thanks for the link to the ringmasters mixdj1. I had that one awhile back and lost it.
<BR>
<BR>Hey PK, that Pikes Peak video is amazing. This one is defnitely not as good as that, but it will make you want Grand Prix Legends!
<BR>
<BR>PS - Did you get my e-mail?

I know there are a few serious racing fans around here, and I think the SR regulars are tired of my racing posts, but I had to share this with someone. <BR> <BR>Probably old news to RacesimCentral regulars, but an amazingly good movie tribute to the Nurburgring was released about a month ago, and it...

I completely agree. I don´t know how much can be blamed on Lebron, and how much is on the leeches, media, and hype that has existed with this kid for the last few years, but it all rubs me the wrong way. Lebron is all about Lebron. He has yet to play in an NBA game, and acts like the worst of the NB...

Randy, as usual, very fair and spot on review of Pro Race Driver (PC). Nice job. My only reason to ever check out IGN is for your racing reviews. (How is that for kissing ass?). <BR> <BR>I too played the PS2 version quite a bit (already sold it) with the Logitech wheel, and now I am playing the PC v...

Man, I would have hooked you up, but my damn digital cable decided to remove Fox Sports World from my plan, so now I would have to upgrade to a ridiculous plan just to get it. I saw an episode at my brothers place and it looked interesting.

I like all the sports mentioned, but could probably live without any one of them. If I had to pick one though it would be auto racing. Mainly because I would have so much more time on my hands and far far less frustration in my life. <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif"> Unfortunately, previ...
