There's a physics 'patch' for RC that allows you to alter the co-effs of
friction, etc. I found the brakes to be wildly over-effective (vs. reality,
particularly on muddy roads!!!), so I fixed 'em.
My main objection to RC: it cheats. The numbers are bogus. You can be
going like stink, beating everybody else's time, and still place 32nd
overall. Or v.v. They just didn't do the math. In the end, it hurts to
put your heart and sould into something that rewards mediocrity and punishes
success.
(Also: that lovely frame-rate turns into a slide-show...or a Plato's shadows
on the cave wall...when there's more than one car visible, as in
multiplayer. Maybe that's how the WSC movies look so great--all you see is
one car alone on the track.)

If the framerates would maintain a decent rate thru the whole stage,
I'd like it better tho! Having an awful time trying to come up with a
combo of drivers/settings that will let this game shine!
