I got it.. I love it, it is a blast!
On my list of peeves

1. Can't see front tyres from***pit (ala Papyrus)
2. Definitly an ARCADE game, you can hit walls at 100mph with no damage
3. Cannot save wreck replays.. this is PATHETIC.  STUPID!  IRRITATING!
4. Wrecks are less than spectacular
5. No smoke and dust in replays

On my list of MAJOR KUDOS

1. getting VERTICAL!  Amazing program, allowing cars to get big air.
2. Curbs, bounces, sand pits, and FAST super VGA graphics
3. The tracks are beautiful
4. The AI is vastly superiour to Papyrus

Man, I wish we could get a Kaemmer/Crammond joint game, with the
best from both.  Kaemmer is a Physics genius (pheonomenal realistic
driving simulation from a physics point of view), while Crammond
gives em what they want with flying cars, curbs, etc.

True, but my frame rate is bad enough...

Is you damage off? Is this in rookie or ace?

Why can't you? Save a hot lap and replay it.

As compared to? ICR2? Nascar?

Not sure about this one...hafta look...take your word for it.

Agreed x 5

Wait...let me get a new computer 1st.

In my hot lap of Monza, you can see where I got a little throttle happy on
exit from Variante Goodyear and it is accompanied by a nice trail of burnt
*** in the air.  Check your graphics level.

That's a personal thing - I prefer seeing no wheels.

Which gives it flawed damagae, NOT an arcade tag. Switch off da help,
load up a realistic Hockenheim setup (R/F 1:7) and then try a few
laps....

Save them as hotlaps, or simply pause and save the game.

?!?!?!?!? Really? Anyway, isn't that too "arccadeish"

There is if you switch it on.... ;)

Cheers!
John
