"We actually see our new company as being in the racing and driving business, more than the game business. We are putting together a global Web site that will be a central place for anyone interested in racing and driving--from beginners, who need some initial instruction in a racing school, up to professional race drivers who would like the opportunity to get track time at a low cost. In addition to providing a simulator and training, we will be sanctioning online race series at all levels--from 140 hp Formula Fords up to 800 hp champ cars, with everything in between--and in many types of cars, including formula, sports car, stock car, even off-road cars. Racing is a very expensive sport, so not many people get a chance to participate. We would like to change that, to allow more people to really learn about racing and to experience some of the thrill. In addition, we want to open up the data formats so that our members can build virtual racecars of all types and tracks as well."

.... interessante, ma speriamo non si tratti di una bufala come tante altre viste in questi ultimi anni ....

Personalmente credo che di bufale ne abbiamo viste tante e che tante ne vedremo anche in futuro, ma su DK la mia fiducia è TOTALE: Indy 500, ICR, ICR2, GPL, la serie Nascar da Nascar a Nascar 2003 ....... insomma da parte di DK pochi discorsi e molti fatti, anche combattendo contro Sierra a volte, come si legge dall'articolo.

Vedremo .......

l'intervento di Razorback One che ha già dimostrato di essere "dentro" a First, avendo tra le altre cose, anticipato l'uscita dell'articolo di Gamespot.

<Dave co-founded Papyrus. At the beginning Dave essentially was the engineer/programmer and his partner was the businessman. In 1997 the two partners sold the company, then that company was sold to a larger company, then that company was sold to a larger company. Dave stayed on to help create the different iterations of the Papyrus NASCAR franchise. He largely created and/or tweaked the physics of all of them - including GPL. The voice of the driving lessons of NR2002 and NR2003 was Dave. (D Waltrip did the track lessons for NR2002)

No worries about a strictly oval product from FIRST - Dave's passion and weekends are spent in open wheelers. He is running the show at FIRST and is clearly excited - working everyday in creating the next generation of physics. His partner is John Henry of the Boston Red Sox baseball team. They've both made a long-term commitment financially to FIRST and have surrounded themselves with terrific talent. The FIRST offices officially opened last week near Boston.

Why wasn't he more visible at Papyrus? He was clearly frustrated by the comglomerate(s) making their business and marketing decisions. That is common in large companies. And the staff at Papyrus was excellent. But now he's back with many of the same people from Papyrus, some key additions and that's a very good thing!>

Insomma tutto procede bene !!!
