The ALMS had been for sale since 2009. The entire organization, IMSA sanctioning body, Sebring, Road Atlanta, the various Chateau Elan hotels and everything else in Panoz's holdings were sold to ISC for a little under 17 million dollars. Pennies on the dollar.

Again, 11 year old software which is nowhere near a release. Why bother? Unless you get a kick out of driving generic FWD cars around a skating rink, there's a lot better out there.

Seriously, it's not that hard.

Do you get a free Linkin Park CD to go with that awesome ancient ice racing simulator?

It's not even really a "console" thing. There's plenty of good racing sims/games out for the console world that address just about everything in this article. NFS Shift/Shift2, Codie's various games, Gran Turismo 5, etc.

Holy crap, Live for Speed is still around?

The name of this article should really be "Forza kinda sucks" and "Jalopnik writers don't play too many racing games".

Taxation and subsidization. Not really anything complicated.

How many times can you write a review of a 1988 Chevy Celebrity, 1992 Ford Escort or 1995 Hyundai Sonata? There's only so much to write about when you're working with a $1400 budget.

Edgy.

It's craigslist, the fact that he used sentences, punctuation and words resembling english already put it in the 99th percentile.

In fairness, it's 2013, what's the likelihood of that thing still having Zenith/Stromberg carbs on it and not the usual weber conversion by now?

Old BMW - McPherson Strut suspension, semi-trailing arm rears. "Lose the camber" isn't really an option there.
