Some people are saying that the file on that mirror is corrupt.  Can you
test it and let us know if it's ok?

That's my experience with that mirror too, file size: 141Mb
(Not the expected 220Mb)

Downloading from another mirror now...

Damn.

Do these cars really handle so shi**y in real life?

Understeer everywhere.

Go to the downloads section (there's a link right next to the big graphic in
the middle that says "NAVIGATE!" with arrows pointing towards it. Once
there, it says Game Demo and there's a download link, and below it 4 more
that say "mirror" as well as the host name.

I don't know how they could have made it much easier actually...

Got it. Playin' it. Got some problems. Have auto-shift and auto-clutch
turned on. Upshifts fine but won't downshift. Tough to get going out of a
hairpin in 6th gear. AI needs work. Other drivers are somewhat aggressive if
they are in front of you. When you pass them they just hang back unless you
come to almost a stop. Not very compettitive. I may be doing something
wrong, but I don't think so. Hope the final version is better, been waiting
a long time

Fair enough.  The demo is now going up on alt.binaries.cd.image.games  for
those having trouble.

It's in there! Read the EULA  and read about it here.

The demo doesn't install Starforce when I run it and it didn't seem to care
whether I had it installed or not.

I'm thinking the Starforce notice might be a prelude to the final, full
version.  I had the same experience.  No Starforce installed.

It's also mentioned in the second paragraph of the readme, along with
information on how to remove it once you're done with the demo.

I'm sure that has something to do with people responding so negatively
towards developers who were more clandestine about it.

wrote something like:

Understeer was the problem with the press demo default setups too.
Have you tried tinkering with the setups?

And remember that there's no sim-mode in this demo...

Yeah, the default setups are awful.  Presumably they've given the cars
bucketloads of understeer to make them a bit easier to handle for the noobs.

Increasing the front anti-roll bar is a good place to start....
