Every time I dust it off and play it, I find that a couple of hours pass by
in a blink of an eye. There is no other sim quite like it.  I have played it
more over the years than any other sim. My only reason for not playing it
during certain periods of time is that I wish there were more tracks. As far
as the physics is concerned, it ranks above even GPL in terms of "feel" for
me. If only there were more tracks. I personally love the natural courses,
they offer far more variety than most "real" race courses do. Lots of
elevation changes and differences between the courses. I don't need big
"name" courses, just great courses and excellent scenery and atmosphere,
which Viper racing has.

I agree on all counts -- and I REALLY like the tracks in Viper Racing,
too.  Imagine if we could import the Viper Racing tracks into NASCAR
Heat for use with the CART Heat and Le Mans Heat add-ons.  

Maybe someday . . .

I also agree... Viper was (is) a fantastic game/sim ... too bad there aren`t
more games like it  :-/

I hope you guys can figure out a way to import the viper tracks , especially
for lemans heat, that would be awesome. You would think that someone at MGI
could give you a hint at how to do that, afterall it is an old game now,
albeit still near state of the *** art.
