I haven't seen anyone mention all the different views you have while racing
in this fun demo, and the fact that you can watch a replay ANYTIME during
the race...

The 2 key on your keypad will give you 1st person perspective and behind the
bike views...

The 0 key on your keypad will cycle through EVERY view in the demo while
your racing and in replays.  This makes it so much better than being stuck
with only 2 views like Joe said earlier.  I'm not sure if you figured this
out yet Joe...  Try it...

Hitting the spacebar while racing will pull up a Pause/Replay option, so you
can start a replay anywhere during your race and switch views/ etc.  To
resume racing hit spacebar again...

Hope this makes this demo more fun for everyone.  It's amazing what you can
learn in the readme files!  :)

No, I missed that, thanks I'll try it.

Another useful tip...  It's the F9 and F10 buttons that shorten or lengthen
the draw distance (controlling popup).  I can get very good framerates on an
overclocked AMD 225/ Voodoo 1 system at about the middle setting for this.

So, is this an "arcade" game or a "sim"?? The demo is obviously set up to be
running in more or less an "arcade" mode where you can't really crash and
it's fairly easy to operate. However, the bike setup screens indicate that
it's a "simulation" with lots of adjustments to play with. The question is
how well the adjustments translate to differences in feel on the track.

Also, the view when racing is really cool with the screen "leaning" in the
turns and popping up when you do wheelies. OTOH, the scenery looks sort of
arcadish -- not what I would expect to see alongside a real track.
