Hell I'll give them Baseball and throw in the NBA too. Then the networks
would have more time for more racing, say Aussie V8s for example. :)

This mission was great!  I can't wait to take the CLK-GTR on this
track/road. :)

It has everything; twists, straights, tunnels, snow, and clear pavement.

Also, the 300SL Gullwing has more punch than I thought it would...

BTW, I still play Mobil 1 BRC!

: One of the best moments in the game is mission #7 (I believe), that
: Golden Oldies race. A huge stage in the Alps, reminding me of the long
: courses in Mobil 1.

I don't think MBWR is available in NA.  I had to order it and
MBTR from a UK-based online store.

I can't remember the place I got it from (I'm at work), but here's another:

Just found it on a Google search; never dealt with them before.

I'l try 1600x1200 and see how it performs.  I have a P4 2.4, 512MB RAM,
and Win98SE.  Please don't make fun of me; I still love Win98SE :).

: I have an Athlon XP 3000+ and so does my friend.  I thought the game ran
: great on my Ti4600 in 1024x768 then I saw it on the 9700 Pro - wow.  In fact
: in 1600x1200 on the 9700 Pro it was marginally quicker than 1024x768 on

Just read this on

Southern California based TDK Mediactive announced yesterday at its Q3
results conference call that Mercedes-Benz World Racing will be an
Xbox exclusive in the US.

TDK Mediactive Europe will be bringing Mercedes-Benz World Racing to
multiple platforms in Europe, however TDK Mediactive US has only
signed World Racing only on Xbox in North America.

Wait a minute,

I found it at InteractCD
http://www.interactcd.com/cgi/PrintDetails.cgi?index1=sku_number&sear...
And at GoGamer
http://www.gogamer.com/cgi-bin/Gogamer.storefront/EN/product/001WORR

I've ordered from Interact before, they are based in CA and when speaking
with them over the phone sound like they are working out of someone's
garage, or warehouse or something, but have not had any problems with them
in the past.

I can't speak for GoGamer as I've never heard of them before.

I can vouch for GoGamer (formerly Compuexpert).  No worries there.
