splinter Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Just seen this article from last week's New York Times! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/24/automobi...al/24GAMES.html Nextel Cup Nascar driver, A. J. Allmendinger and Elliot Sadler use video and computer simulation games to prepare for ther Nextel Cup season. Allmendinger is a regular at the site rfactorcentral.com, where “I’ll play online against real people,” he said. One of his usual opponents, he added with a chuckle, didn’t believe it was really him — until he kept winning. Still, there are limits. “It’s pretty similar to the real thing, until you wreck in a game, hit escape and start again,” Allmendinger said.

splinter Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 that might be partly down to his equipment and crew than his driving. I think he'll come good next season...if he can stop crashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcG Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) yeah I raced against A. J. Allmendinger last year at a league called R.A.C.E.R. think he was in the top 5 but certainly did'nt blitz the field in anyway!
