Martin, I thought Play Station was built many years before "The Race" was ever concieved? I thought Steve had it built just to break records, (chasing the 80' ENZA New Zealand, remember them?) then several years later, the French came up with "The Race" concept and built better cats, learning from the Playstation problems.
Someone has to be first, then the others will leapfrog the technology. Without Steve building Play Station first, I doubt if there ever would have been a "The Race" at all. And isn't there supposed to be another one soon? Anyone know the latest on that? Any new cats being built for it?
I just looked up some back issues of Seahorse:
The Race was conceived right after the Jules Verne thing in 1994. Playstation was launched on Dec. 21 in 1998. The Race was intended to start on the eve of the new millenium but was postponed by one year.
But then Seahorse is European so I guess they lie.
