I've got f1 racing championship on my ancient 500mhz coal fired machine, and
I have never managed to find any one else with the game, who wants to play
online. So are there any takers out there, if so drop me a line and we'll
have a bash.

You could try something like http://www.f1rcrelay.com. I haven't tried
it but looks interesting :) Hopefully "have a bash" was a figure of
speech ;)

F1RCrelay is an unofficial project by Relay Game Network. It is a
demonstration of what we are capable of doing with a game when we have zero
support from the developer. What we can do with 3 days of developer support
is quite a bit more, and a lot more streamlined.

We offer free software to play (currently F1RC) games online, accompanied by
a plethora of additional features. The software is also 100% integrated into
the game community website and offers multiple ranking systems, integrated
world championship, complete cheat-checking, Corporate Support (prizes,
etc.), and is basically 100% real-time in nature (or as we like to call it
"Relay Time").

I'll throw out the "Brief Features Overview" in here, and ask those who have
already read it to please accept my apologies for the repeat "long-post",
but it is simply too difficult to answer the question without including it.

There are also a few more "upcoming features" that are currently in the
works, but we wish to keep those to ourselves for the time being.

So far developer/publisher response has been favorable, considering we only
launched Public Beta less than a month ago. We already have been contacted
by a number of them, and are demonstrating the system, and its ease of
integration into their games.

Basically put: "Kill Pay-to-Play before it even has a chance of gaining
steam" is our goal.

Hope that answers your question, and I again apologize to the board for the
lengthy post... as you can see it is a bit difficult to explain who/what we
are in a couple paragraphs.

Cheers,

Jason 'Schumi' Murray

BAH!

Didn't even have the courtesy to remove the "replies" from the bottom of the
long-post to boot.

Looks like I'm in dummy mode tonight... sorry fellas/ladies.

1,000 apologies.
