Anyone for Online racing? [Archive]

So I've upgraded the puter, got a new wheel when my last took a dump, and got some new games.

Can we work on getting some races together? I'd like to perhaps offer a few suggestions for games.... perhaps Toca Race Driver which has a few of the current and former Champcar courses in it (vancouver, mexico city, brands hatch, rockingham, vegas and a couple others)

Or perhaps we can all work on getting a CART mod for one the EASports F1 games.

We all gotta practice up so we're ready when S-E Games comes out with the Champcar sim.

I can do it if it's Grand Prix Legends. My home 'puter is dial-up, and that's about the only racing game that is able to run smoothly w/o broadband.

Matter of fact, I just fixed my Momo wheel (loose motor mount) after it was out of commission for a few months. It feels good to (virtual) race again...

Hm, I'd love to try that - have to go shopping, though. We have a wheel, (don't know what kind), but only have EA F1 2001...in French. :D

K, I definitely need to go shopping.

I could do it.....but may I suggest we run Nascar 2003 with the Trans Am mod?

Warlock!, if you haven't tried it yet, I'd bet you'd like it as much as GPL.

Another suggestion: Warlock!, get broadband!

I don't think so Steve, it's only for Nascar 2003....but you should be able to pick that up cheap. Links to various mod sites are at www.racesimcentral.com

Get EA F1 Challenge..

There are a couple of CCWS mods floating around, with the 2003 season being released hopefully this weekend, and the 2004 season coming soon.

Mods for F1C (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/rn.smith/mods.htm)

Here's a shot from a mystery CCWS mod that's in the works-

With dialup? Hell, I'd say you're all about the suspense. :D

<downloading> Yeah, baby, yeah baby, there she is! Come on. Oh yeah... Hey wait. No! No! That's not supposed to be in this newsgroup! Stop! NO NO NO!

Decide on which game and I might be in. The only one I have that has been mentioned is GPL, but I've been thinking about picking up NASCAR 2003 for the Trans Am mod. I picked up F1 2002 mainly for the Champ Car mod, but then they moved to F1 Challange. :(

Hehehe... Been there, dun that ;)

Naw... I barely even check the forums at home, much less DL from my newsgroups... it's just too frickin slow after being on DSL all day. I get enuf porn during one lunch hour to last me a week. :D

That shot from F1C looks fantastic. Much better car model than the previous versions of EA's games.

I used to play PGR2 alot, but quit months ago, too many morons on track just sliding around for Kudos.

I have F1 Career Challenge on PS2, but I'd have to buy it on PC right ? & then download ChampCar mod ? Hmmm...
I'd love to race decent racers, cause I've played XBoxLive at a mates & as SeanO said, just crazy cats drifting for Kudos as opposed to getting good lines etc...

I've been racing some N2003 lately, mainly just road courses.

I have been eying TOCA 2 for the XBOX. Can't deny the prospect of racing Big Rig's online intrigues me. Plus it looks like a beautiful game too.

Any word on a release of the F1 challenge '99-'02 being released for the XBOX?

TOCA 2 online wasn't so great. Too many morons would wreck you and punt you into the gravel traps for no particular reason, so I stopped playing. Plus there was lots of cheating, and althoguh patches were put out to fix many of the bugs, you could still cut chicanes at several tracks.

I don't have F1 Challenge, but his could be worth it.

Sort of.....I got my GPL rank to negative 20 something, then my Monster Rank to negative something or other, then the online races seemed to slow down for GPL and I did more Trans Am, but that hasn't grabbed me although it's fun, then work and racing got busy.....so I'm not doing as much online racing....
