So many things ,where to begin?
First thanks for having us RSC guys.Looked around a little yesterday and its really pretty cool.For me its the first sim I relly got my teeth into,or maybe I should say lost my teeth on,considering how much I was offtrack compared to on!
That and the look of the cars was just right,please no wings,it just degrades the look of the cars.Besides these were what I built for slot cars in the day.I still have my sharknose Ferrari and BRM P261.
Bob I think you really nailed it though...the Tracks are and always be legendary.It was just man against the track,elements and other drivers.There's a picture of Jackie Stewart on track,I think it may be Spa with nothing around but open countryside flashing by.Then there's those sounds,absolutely awe inspiring.
They so much remind me of the pilots of WW2,especially during the Battle of Britain,all lounging around talking to one another,just regular guys that like to live on the edge.
I could go on and on,especially since one of my favorite movies was Grand Prix,or maybe its just me waxing nostalgia! Good thread Bob!
