>>Who is the developer an publisher of this carting game?

>>> With all the mods I've been working on, plus a new daughter to keep up
>>> with, I've kind of drifted away from mainstream activities like the
>>> F1CS2K Rank and the Offline Competition. Mod development and testing
>>> leads to a bit of "burn-out" on certain sims for me, as you must test,
>>> tweak, test, tweak, and then test some more, and that often takes the
>>> "fun" out of whatever title I'm working on or testing. This is why I
>>> often find myself playing around with oddball things to serve as an
>>> enjoyable diversion.

>>> The latest oddball diversion I've found is Super 1 Karting -- have any
>>> of you guys tried this? I had the demo for quite a while, but it
>>> didn't run on my old video card without crashing, so I forgot about
>>> it. After doing a review of a new karting center here in Indy, I found
>>> myself bit by the karting bug, so I fired up the Super 1 Karting demo
>>> -- it ran well on my new GeForce card, and I was immediately ***ed.
>>> I'd have to say that this game is the GPL of karting, and I'm
>>> definitely hooked.

>>> So why hasn't this game made more of a splash here on r.a.s.?  I know
>>> it lacks multiplayer support, but the AI can be pretty tough, it
>>> seems, and the game REALLY seems to have captured the essence of
>>> go-kart physics in much the same way that GPL captured the overall
>>> physics of a 1967-era Grand Prix car.

>>> Are there any dedicated sites for S1K, or any offline leagues on the
>>> Web, perhaps?  Or are there glaring errors that I haven't noticed yet
>>> that have kept the rest of the GPL faithful at bay?  Perhaps go-karts
>>> are too tame for the GPL faithful?  Or are there are a LOT of admirers
>>> of S1K just like me, but I'm just the first one to come out of the
>>> closet? <G>

>>> Great game, and lots of fun.  If you haven't tried it, I'd highly
>>> recommend checking out the demo.
