Has anyone seen or bought the IRL sim from ABC sports?
It looks interesting because of the option to drive midgets and
sprints on both dirt and paved tracks.

I had it for a brief while, and I found that Tony George and co. tried to bring
this game out a little too fast.  The car physics were terrible and the sprint
drivers names don't change, so Luyendyke and Buddy L:azier will be driving
sprints.  I would go with Indycar Racing 2(now CART Racing by Papyrus) , it is
the best open wheel/oval racing game out there right now.

  The game has been cancelled and no patches are forthcoming, so if you buy
it and don't like it, you're SOL...
  I beta tested the game, and none of the problems that were reported with
the game were fixed.  It was rushed out the door for Xmas.

It is absolutely undrivable, even on a P233 laptop, though some people
inexplicably disagree.

That said, does anyone want my copy???

Ironic, isn't it?  Even their simulation isn't as good.
