I attended the PRI trade show this week and there were lots of new racing
simulators on display.

Hmmm...I would think that in order to make that a "fact" and not an
opinion, one need to provide proof of some kind. Aside from the 5 words
you posted, I see none.

rF
GTR2
Race2Play
Iracing.com

There are just 4 of the reasons <I> am excited about the future of sim
racing.

I couldn't disagree more. In my opinion, it's going to be reborn in
2007.

I could not agrE more.

I personally think that,next to flight sims, racing sims are the most
realistic form of gaming available and race simming in the coming years
will only get more realistic and immersive. the day will come when all
top real life racers will have to have sims in their practice arsenals
to stay on top of their game.

all also like to your list of reasons why sim racing is not dead

1. dedicated physics processing units

2. ageia physx api integrated into sims

3.upcoming ferrari project from blimey

4. dx10

**** off!

rF, running the 1979 mod alone, is more fun than should be allowed.
Join a league, see the world, have fun.

What is boils down to is: "You're bored because you're boring."

That would rather agree with the OP that it is dead now!

In my view in 2006 sim racing has continued to evolve at a reasonable
pace. Whether 2007 will bring a 1998 type revolution remains to be seen.
Hopefully we will see significant developments in sim technology and
some organisation bought to the chaos that is only accessible for the
real sim enthusiast limiting the appeal.

As a sim enthusiast myself I would love to see iRacing, Blimey, ISI,
Simbin & Race2Play etc. all succeed with a significant growth in sim
racing drivers, some healthy competition and plenty of choice along with
availability of online drivers in the genre of choice.

The success criteria will vary between these products and their target
markets, but I genuinely wish them all well, if nothing else for my own
selfish reasons.

Cheers
