Title: Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009
Post by: saltydog on February 19, 2008, 16:38:22

In just over 6 months, on october 4, the next Volvo Ocean Race, a sailing race around the world, will begin..
Below is the link to the official site, for those who want to keep up with the preparations, news, etc..
Also you can download "Virtual Spectator" there, a program with which you could follow the race in "real-time"..
Unfortunately they no longer have the race-legs of the last race on it(2005-2006), allthough you can still read about it on the site, but it will give you an idea of how the graphics were then.
The new version of Virtual Spectator is yet to be released, but it may look even better.. :)
