So what racing sim would hold one's interest for any longer and why? It seems what your
saying is simply ludicrous! Most people talk of how hard it is and thus, of course, this
indicates definate longevity because people will be forever trying to master it. So
exactly what substance is missing ie what is it about it that you think is missing. Don't
tell me your saying this based on a 2 track (and very simple tracks compared to the rest
of them), no AI, no multiplay demo!???????
