Problem: Try pausing when running a modem race. No go. It is tough
when youre trying to organize your pit (dont repair my car you grease
monkeys if it takes you 1.5 minutes!!!) when your friend is slamming into
our car at 170 mph!!!!!

BTW, it is cool that you can talk while racing. I dont recommend it
though!!!

way cool in SVGA. P100 W/ 16megs, stealth 64 vram and I can get all
detail at 12fps. You may laugh at the 12 fps, but in svga it is really
crispo, unlike ICR at 12fps.

Yes it does, Watkins Glen. It consists of left and right hand turns.

NASCAR does road courses as well as ovals. Sears point in CA and
Watkins Glen are both on the game, I think. They're both road courses.
Of course Indycars do whine in real life, too. But I'm a little
biased towards NASCAR...

I have a Pentium...It goes REAL good

Do you have the CD-ROM SVGA version? The cars look REALLY good. They
don't look nearly as good in VGA.

Hit P before you go in the pits, decide what you want to do then un P
and pit. No distractions...

I agree. Though after seeing Daytona (arcade game from Sega) I'm left
wanting more....

An oval is a real circuit. Perhaps you should wake up and realize
that there are other ways of racing beyond the F1 "let's DQ the
clearly better car so we have some drama at the end of the season".
