I haven't seen anything in the newsgroup about this sim. The premise looks
very interesting and the few reviews I've read run the gamut.
Any observations?

It isn't anything to write home about.

If it's anything like their TV coverage you'll be thrown straight into
a World-Cup soccer simulation the minute the winner crosses the finish
line, everyone else be damned.

The premise is interesting, true, but the execution isn't very good. The
problems I have noticed....

-Very unstable..crashes almost every time I play it.
-Less than stellar graphically.
-Terrible sound, especially for Midgets and Sprints. They sound like
weedeaters.
-Very poor driving model, at least in my opinion.
-No discernable difference in Midgets, Sprint Cars, or Silver Crown cars, at
least as far as handling and power.

As you can see, I'm less than impressed. The only reason I still have it
around is that it's the only Midget/Sprint game in town, and there is no
better racing on earth IMHO.

Visit my website and answer the poll on the first page....let's beg Papyrus
for a sim with these cars.....

ABC Sports Road to Indy is horrible.  It's a ripoff.  The game sucks and
there are no patches.
