There's been a bunch of posts here; all of them claim the kart pulls to the left. If
Microprose says they haven't heard about it, then they sure don't have anybody monitoring
this newsgroup.
I think MP missed the boat on this game. Great potential, rotten implementation. Siskel and
Ebert give it two thumbs down...the game sucks. I'm sure glad MP made a playable demo
available..saved me sixty bucks.. :)

Also, I agree that the CD load time are really slow and the graphics
can be slow too but I paid $40 bucks for this game and although it is
not great, the AI is ok and it is fun. I have played the championship
a few times. No it is not on the level of Indycar 2 but if you are
interested in Karting and have a fast machine you might give it a try.
I did load the entire 160 megs onto my hard drive to make the load
times acceptable. Unlss you do that is is really slow.
As is stated below, good idea, poor implementation.
