Well, I downloaded the SODA demo last night and played it. It is
pretty much a disappointment to me. I noticed a couple of other
postings last night that mentioned it was slow. It ran okay for me, but
it did seem fairly demanding.
You need a Rendition board to use it, and for people used to the
graphics in the ICR2 and Nascar2 Rend versions, I don't think the
graphics are going to impress them in this one. The
bouncing-up-and-down***pit view is a good thing, but the scenery and
all else just doesn't look too realistic to me. These trucks are just a
little too slow for this ICR2 and N2 fan.

You do NOT need a Rendition card to run SODA.
