[ODE] New Open Driving Sim using ODE

[Kirk House]

Hi I've been involved in the managment of a new open
source racing simulator which is in the very early
stages of development.  We have decided to use ODE as
the core physics engine for the simulator.  There are
about 50 people signed up from different backgrounds
including a Formula SAE race team manager.  We've got
graphics guys, coders, texture specialists, etc.
so I think this project has a good chance of reaching
v1 at some point.  

I've been working on the basics of a double wishbone
suspension system but I need to immerse myself in the
ODE docs for a few more days before I'll have any
questions for the list.  We're probably going to use
Pacejka for the tire model and one of the open flight
dynamics models used in FlightGear to simulate
downforce/drag and drafting.  

Here is a link to the forum for the project.  We're
pre-SourceForge at this point but there are some
interesting discussions going on.
