I remember that too. I'm pretty sure I also remember someone saying they had
tested a winged car and it worked well.

I have no idea what other type of cars race on NASCAR weekends.

So what was the controller problem you had with F1RC?  I can't remember if I
had any problems when I installed it.  I haven't had time to play it much
yet...

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

It's a well known problem, controller just does not work sometimes when
entering the 3D part of the game. Someone said to hold down the pedals while
starting up F1RC to fix it but that never worked for me. I would just quit
the 3D part of the game and re-enter until it would recognize it.

Sorry - I haven't had time to fire it up again.  I'll try to check it this
weekend, though.
