Racer v0.4.1
------------

Changes from v0.4:
- Tire model enhanced with lateral force buildup, with thanks to Chris
West & Gregor Veble for the help
- A lot of variables are shown; a bit too much for the casual driver.
:)
- The laptime is back; it was there, but culled out by mistake.

New features:
- Track cameras! To show off, it starts in trackcam mode by default,
hehe. Press C to switch to car view (and C again to switch back).
Track cameras are still in beta, they will be enhanced soon with a
couple of extra features.
- SGI version now available.
- Guillemot Ferrari control set (thanks to Shane Lowry)
- Applying the friction circle is optional; try debug.ini's
car.apply_friction_circle and set it to 0 and 1; see the difference.
Understeer or snap oversteer? Hm... In my opinion, WITH the friction
circle on it's much to slippery. WithOUT it is VERY understeering.
- Some extra documents collected from Usenet discussions.

Enjoy!
