I downloaded the Castrol Superbike demo tonight and ran it with the new
RC2 drivers and...WOW!! This game is going to be incredible. It is
actually a Superbike "SIM" and the graphics are incredible. We have
posted some screenshots for those who are interested at

The driving model is great, the graphics are fairly lame.

Did you notice how you can't do wheelies! I don't know if I had the wrong
settings but I was never able to get the front tires to lift off the ground
which should be very easy in a superbike. I also noticed that the drivers
don't stay heads down on the straights. They poke their heads up and down
too much. It was fun to play and the graphics are decent but calling it a
"sim" at this time might be a stretch.

Thanks
John

John,

To do a wheelie, hit between 60 and 70 in first, get totally off the gas,
then nail it. It will pull the front wheel and if you do it right you can
carry it a good 3 seconds or so.

They are not drivers, they're riders :)

I made the same mistake at first. All of the helps are on initially. Turn
them all off and you have an actual sim instead of an arcade game. You can
also mess around with the *.cfg files to get more laps and to have the helps
be off by default. I do believe that I will be buying this one after all!
