Barber is as beautiful as they say! (NO 56K - who has that?)

I believe I remember writing a review about driving Barber last November, and not receiving one comment...

Hey, I read it, that's why I didn't bother talking through the track because you did such a good job! Besides, I never learned the turn #'s. :lol: T12 was my favorite for sure, I ate everybody up in that area because they were skeered of that hill. An early apex there with some speed and you're dead. I dipped two wheels off once or twice at the exit there... what a rush! hock: Then near flat out for the next right and finding a visual reference for that last righthander took some work too. And that crazy corkscrew thing earlier in the track (7 and 8 I thnk), where you straightline it, left wheels way up on the concrete, braking downhill, that was QUITE a challenge for me with no ABS. Good stuff.

Oh, I forgot to mention they had one of these there:

I talked to one of the developers that was supporting it there, he really knew his stuff. The sim is kind of a 2nd gen of what EA games is using now, and they hope to work up to a commercial application later. They had a nice model of Barber loaded up in there, and a Daytona Prototype the guy was particularly proud of, and I gotta say, it was pretty awesome. He said their goal is to get as many real tracks as possible modeled for the game, selling these $$$$ simulators to help pay for dev costs. So let's support them and buy one for MM!
