WCCC Paderborn 1999

[Rebel]

Found some old stuff on my HD, thought I would share. Lots of known faces. Quality as one can expect from that year. Camera man was Marcus Kaestner IIRC.

Thank you so much for sharing. That was the first WCCC I heard about and made it a personal goal to be in one someday.

Not so much to win, but to be amongst so many engine authors to listen, talk and just enjoy the atmosphere of my favorite hobby.
