Why are there so few racing games now days that let you build your own
tracks? Anybody remember Stunts, or the even older Racing Destruction Set?

I'd like to see a rally game that let you design your own tracks.
V-Rally on the PC let you do this, but the physics were very simplistic and
arcade-like.

Me too... for one thing, if it were flexible enough you could make
hillclimb courses out of it! (Yep, I know about GPL's Goodwood one,
but that's not available so doesn't count.)

Man, I spent many hours playing around with Stunts!
I know it's not exactly what you looking for, but I had some fun with
this...
Give it a try!

Set?

Racing Destruction Set - wow, it must be about 17 years since I played that.
I remember it being a lot of fun at the time but that's about all I
remember. Now, where did I put that C64 emulator...

Jesus I wish someone could get that source code and fix it... LOL Soda was
awesome with the rendition2 card... Sigh.

Yep. I remember buying my 4 meg Creative Blaster 3D 4mg card. It was the
cat's behind back then. IIRC I got ICR2 with the video card too. :)
