I don't know why I choose to read this one but I did. I am one of the people who preordered Raceway. At the time I ordered it because I thought that the concept of a force feedback wheel was cool. I was a Car Mechanic for most of my life, and I have enjoyed every driving game I could find. I have been blind all of my life, soI ordered it to show the writers that there was interest. I am sad that the game may never come out, but I am more sad that James and family are in such difficult times. I really hope that this unfortunate news will help this community to be more patient. I also hope that the people on this list can try to be more helpful and enjoyable to each other. That does include me. James, I hope that your work comes to fruition some day. Thanks for all you have written.
