ICR Modeling

ICR Modeling

        Well, I broke down and bought IndyCar Racing.  This would not ordinarily
be a big deal except that I don't own no stinking PC, being of the Mac and
Unix persuasion.  I run the game on a friend of mine's 486/50 Compaq.

        Anyway, I spun out at Laguna Seca on the hill leading up to the
corkscrew, and fumble-fingered getting away again.  The car started rolling
down the hill!  I let it run for a while, and it slowly but steadily
accelerated under the "influence" of the incline of the track and gravity.
I sat there bemused about the level of modelling going on, and remained
bemused until Sullivan came around the corner and hit me head-on.

        Having played World Circuit some, I think ICR is the superior product,
but requires a more significant investment in computing hardware to get an
equivalent level of performance to World Circuit.

        Finally, and I almost hate to ask, but where are the ftp sites for the
ICR upgrade?
