GeForce-2 GTS & Racing Sims

Since I've been fortunate enough to afford the new ELSA GeForce-2 GTS and
I've been coming here for help for years, I thought I'd try to help others
out by posting which racing sims run and which have problems or won't run at
all. I just got the card yesterday so I haven't tried that many yet. As I
re-install and test more sims, I'll post more results. If this is not the
place to do this then by all means just say so. Brief hardware description:
Athlon-800 in a Abit-Ka7, ELSA Gladiac GeForce-2 GTS with stock out of the
box drivers, SBLive +MP3 (liveware 3.0) and WIN98SE w/DX7a.

Here's what runs:

NFS PU (runs really, really well even in 32bit color)
Nascar-3 (not as pretty as Glide and not as fast)
Nascar Legends (same as N3)
F1-2000 (Still a PIG)
GP500 (runs really, really well even in 32bit color)

Here's what doesn't:

TOCA-2 (blue screen of death right after clicking on icon)
Nascar-2000 (starts to load then goes black with hourglass cursor in center
of screen, have to push reset button)

Update on the GeForce-2 GTS:

I have changed drivers! I'm now using reference drivers from NVidia (5.16)
and both TOCA2 and Nascar-2000 work perfectly! Also tried Superbike-2000 and
all I can say is "I'm speechless".
