Simbin's GT Legends

http://www.fia-historic-racing.com/e...408/index.html

Wish it were a true historic sim, but having the cars is good enough.

Sounds clueless. They babble on abt. "Yoken" Maas (I presume they mean the
great German driver Jochen Maas) and duelling Mercedes-Benz 300SLs, which
were ten years gone in the time-frames mentioned in the squib ('65, '75).
Too bad abt. the lack of historic tracks (I would KILL for some period
tracks--Solitude, Riverside, Zandvoort, Bridgehampton, Lime Rock, Oulton
Park--if they were compatible with GTR), but if I never see another Ford
Capri again it'll be too soon.

The spelling on that site is indeed atrocious.

I think they mean Mercedes-Benz 300SEs (the 3-box saloon), of which there
are still quite a few kicking about in the historic categories.

nuthin' wrong with a Capri, mate... compared to a Vauxhall Magnum, that is.

Somebody seriously raced 300SE sedans? Sheesh, they might as well race
170Ds, Checker Marathons, or Trabbies. Not the stuff great sims are made
of....

Well, it is a European historic sports car series. I mean, we're
talking about the same group of people who consider the Escort a
classic racing car. =)

OTOH, I remember seeing Jim Clark driving the sh*t out of a Lotus Cortina
once - electrifying!

I think a few of these cars can be found in GT4 (eventually) and more likely
in Enthusia (which is getting West Racing'esq in it's communication of it's
release date)...
Link to Enthusia's car list: http://tinyurl.com/6y47d
There's a natty car "search" flash plug-in thingamebob too.

A game I have no interest in playing, oddly enough.
