I don't see whats the big fuss about ICR2, the graphics looks
like space invaders from the early 80's, the cars handling is way to
sloppy, it feels as if you are driving on ice.

Are you sure that it's ICR2 that you bought and not Papyrus' original
"Indianapolis 500"?!! :-)

I think I'll stick with ICR2, over 50 garage settings is to much for
me! Plus, this will probally be one of those games where it eats up all
your memory and then blows up your computer. And can I paint cars?

I really prefare the DirectX version of Icr2 because when you got patches
and things to update win95 bug drivers, it is quik and smooth and responce
is great. Frame rates are awesome too for my cideo card.
