2) Improved sounds (notably the engine sound)
3) 43 cars on the track
4) Direct X or Glide... now you can really use the best video card.
5) 43 cars can be used to play online.
For that last one, I hope Papyrus includes something similar as to what
you find in online only games such as Tribes and TFC (Half-life): you
load the game and select the "arena" you want (where you have the best
connection). Then, we won't have to pay for such a thing as TEN (which i
really hate... I have a cable modem, pay each month and still can't get
a good connection... I play Tribes and and TFC and get 125 ms ping on
average even on week nights).
