"Indycar Series 2005 not for PC?"
They're breakin' my heart. And to think we'll miss out on real working mirrors and everything.
I suppose if they did decide to port this thing to the PC at some point there are plenty of things they could call it.

I was at Famosa March Meet last weekend and the 30 year old nostalgia dragsters were running 250mph, so I doubt that the NHRA considers the IRL the fastest race on Earth.
As for being the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing", with all due respect for the drivers and teams of the IRL, IMHO ALMS, F1, and a host of other sports car venues feature more cars, faster cars and they turn both left and right (not to mention running in the rain).
I for one won't miss this title on my PC. |

well if they don't want my money, then I guess they just ain't gonna get it are they ?
Actually all things considered it would most likely be a disappointing waste of money anyways, so, really it is good news. |
