is the way computer opponents wait for you to catch up if you are ***
or go into overdrive if you are good (boost). Motocross madness is a
good example of this stupid feature witch totally ruins what could have
been a great game. Moto's programers should not be allowed to make
another racing game. Are they completely mad or just thicko's.

        I thought you could turn this feature off?  I'm pretty sure this
is what Ctrl-A did in the demo.

        But yes, it does suck how I can beat a 512 Testarossa with an
RX-7 in NFS, and vice versa!
