Race Driver Demo?

I see there is a demo of this on the June Computer ***, has anyone kindly
uploaded this for the masses to try? A report on High Gear said a mega PC
was needed, but that was running with a Voodoo 5500, has anyone tried it
with a T&L card?

Please. can someone put this demo on kaazaa, or other filesharing program?

I think its the V5 that isnt so good for new'er games that needs DX8. It
would probably run better on geforce.

Considering I was running F1  2001 at 25 fps with my V5 at mid detail and
115 fps with a GF3 Ti 500 at full detail, I'm not too worried about this
game on a modern video card. ;0)

Nope it is in the US. Just picked it up at EB on my way home from work.The
magazine has a picture of Mt Rushmore with the Sims characters instead of
presidents on the cover. I will install it later and let you guys know what
I think. Gotta watch my Bruins beat the Canadiens first. :-)

Though you can occasionally find it in really big newsagents in British
cities - try WH Smith in Birmingham, for example.

Come on!  You knew better then that.  It's traditional for Mtl to put the
Bruins out of the play-offs.  :O)

I'm an old Montrealer who can remember the glory days of the 50's and 60's
so please forgive the dig.

I've searched the internet for such a thing, but I couldn't come up with
anything.  Could you please post a link to the article you read?

Thanks,

Jeff

I expect that I'll be joining you in mourning after our (Montreal's) next
series.   :O(

But for now there's always a miracle to count on.   :O)

lol

yes. I like it and can't wait for the full game to be released. Nice
graphics and physics. The demo is kind of a pain . You have to reconfigure
your controller every time you want to play it. 4 views( f10,cockpit,hood
and bumper)The***pit view is a little hard because the windshield had kind
of a blue tint to it making it hard to see. Damage is the best I have ever
seen.The demo gives you a 3 lap race against 5 other cars .All are supra
turbos. sounds are excellent too. menus are clean and cool looking. I think
this is a big winner.there is a screen that says this demo represents only
60% completion and is dated 2000. Also says June 28 release date. Bring it
on.
