It seems like each year I get more and more involved (dare I say engrossed) with endurance GT racing \u2013 very interesting racing, with tons of high quality drivers.  I was disappointed that one of the two Corvette C6-R cars did not win their class; the new C6-R is a damn impressive car.<\/p>\n<p>Each time I watch one of these endurance races I always wonder why a video game developer cannot give us a Gran Turismo style physics game, with a Melbourne House 24 Hours Le Mans style game.  The DC and PS2 Melbourne House games were always fun, if not a bit easy, but the cool thing about them was the 18-24 car field vs. Gran Turismo\u2019s 6 cars.  Plus the PS2 version of Le Mans has the Petite Le Mans Road Atlanta Race.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Gran Turismo and Le Mans, I am only 5% or so into GT4; Le Mans goodness is coming, but apparently it is one of the tracks that is time released after a certain number of GT4 days.  I will have to post some updated statistics later (for anyone that cares), but I have not really had much time to play the game since it came out, which makes me question my judgment of my PSP pre-order with 5 games.<\/p>\n<p>EBgames.com has confirmed my order; still waiting for the AMEX to get charged to \u201cprove\u201d it, but I feel certain it is a done deal.  The brick and mortar EBgames also have told me that I would have a shiny new PSP waiting for me at midnight on the 23\/24 of March.  I guess that means there is the opportunity to make a little extra cash on eBay, but I do not get the feeling that massive shortages are imminent.  I have to make some decisions this week about what to do with my two PSPs.  Right now I am thinking about canceling the local store order, but maybe I will read stories today about all the expected shortages.  Either way, hopefully on Thursday I can say \u201cI got mine!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I suppose many sports fans spent yesterday engrossed in March Madness, but I spent my TV time engrossed in the 12 hour Sebring race on SPEED.
