Blackhole Motorsports is an auto racing simulation team that
has been in existence since 1997 when some of the founders
met on the Ten Network and decided to create this site. We
have members from different backgrounds and cultures, which
makes being a part of Blackhole Motorsports a truly unique
experience. One of our strong points as a team comes from
having members from different parts of the world. We feel
this gives us a broader perspective, understanding and appreciation
for all forms of Motorsports.
The team of BHMS is a very diverse group of individuals that
enjoy racing in many forms. This diversity carries over into
the games we support on the site. Part of our success on the
web has evolved because our members enjoy different forms
of racing. Whether it Formula 1, Circle track or Rallying,
one of us is on top of it. Some of the members have an extensive
background in real racing hence the passion for simulation
racing. There are others on the team that have no real racing
experience but excel in other areas that such as web authoring,
beta testing, business application, and editing.
Our main goal at Blackhole Motorsports is to provide you,
the simulation-racing fan, the latest news and information,
utilities, product previews and reviews (hardware and software)
to enhance our visitors' experience in auto simulation. We
also believe in creating a sense of community to share opinions
and information. By establishing our public forums we have
been provided the opportunity to meet and correspond with
people from all over the world that are also involved with
our sport. People come to the forums to share their ideas,
talents and creations with others.
We work closely with many developers to provide feedback
on both new and existing products. Not only does this give
us insight into the latest products, it also gives the producers
advice that will hopefully create better products for all
of us.
As we venture into the new millennium, we at Blackhole Motorsports
will do our best to continue to provide the best content for
your racing simulation.
