Yeah...if only SimBin had had a BMW M3 V8 in GTR (to be fair, BMW didn't
have an M3 in the year simmed--2003--only that fruity little Z3 hatchback with the inline 6). The M3 was supposed to be avail as an add-on, but apparently BMW freaked. (Or demanded blood money.)

You would think these mfg's would realize it's free advertising and not name exploitation. Isnt racing all about advertising products anyway? Having your products in these sims generates more positive interest doesnt it? The void by the absence seems more detrimental to the mfg/service than licensing can make up for if ya ask me. EA not included in that statement of course Im mean seriously, how could BMW go wrong in this instance? Mitch -- Remove "nospam." to reply. SuSE 9.2 Pro KDE 3.3.2a |

However it was a bit of an embarassment for them as they packed the M3 GTRs radiators with dry ice prior to the race start which caused broken oil lines and the cars had to stop on the very 1st lap, not getting back out top do their 1st lap for a couple of hours Bad memories maybe?

Sorry, I meant to say BMW didn't have the M3 V8 in the FIA's GT Racing
series (which is what the game GTR simulates). They did run the car elsewhere, but the race at the Nurburgring wasn't part of the FIA GT Championship that year: http://www.fiagt.com/results.php?eve...03&reporttype= Neither were such enduro classics as Daytona, Sebring, the TT, Le Mans, etc. Politics...or worse, *French* politics. (Sorry if I offended any descendants of Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Montier--better known as the Marquis de Lafayette--we are still grateful....)

I remember the BMW touring cars that ran in the AUssie Super Touring series back in the mid 90's, they were schreechingly, painfully loud when the incar camera was shown. I loved it. So whenever we get just the barest hint of gear whine, like the tptcc mod's sound file, I tend to get overenthused. dave henrie |

Bear in mind that a) the driver will be wearing a helmet & balaclava, and b) the amount of noise from the diff is dependant on the position & type of mic on the video camera, and will only really be excessively loud in-car in a front-engined, RWD chassis.
