Watkins Glen - Any good PC Sims and/or in-car video out there?

I tried a few forum searches but came up empty . . .

I'm an ex-dragracer and I plan to attend a few "DE" events at Watkins Glen (It's the nearest track) as an old, pathetic and possibly un-trainable rookie.

I'd like to "see" the track a few times before I get there if possible.

Any other advice for a track "newbie" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stry

You could try the Nascar PC game it's supposed to have the full series of tracks and they run at the Glen.

I actually got to drive the course. I have a layout of the track that they give to you when you get there. I'll try and post it or email it to you later if that's okay. It's a great track, but if you drive the full course, it gets real curvy and you can't really go all out. Have fun - drive safe

It's available for GPL3 and soon to be released for the Sports Car Challenge mod for F1C 99-02.

Here's a link to a video:

Here's a vidcap of C5R #4 at Watkins Glen. (Yes, you have in-car view while driving)

Thanks Again - Stry
