I've just played the game again with new sounds by HUDSON. Really cool.

BTW, I've just found another 'BUG'/'SHORTCOMING' with regards to the game (not the sound):

1) When wheels lock up, which very rarely does no matter how hard I brake, why doesn't 'smoke' come out from under the tires? Furthermore, when the rear wheels lock up, we should be able to see the 'smoke' on the rear view mirrors.

2) I think it'd be cool to see gradual tire wear as we progress in the race.

Just my two cents.

Great! Url please :)

I lock mine up all the time and there is always some smoke. What graphic
detail setting are you running?

race.

That would be cool, I guess that's how they will get us to by the next
versions ;-)

Yes he did. I tried the sounds but ended up going back to the original
sounds because it was what I was use too.

First, check your difficulty settings....you've to set brake/throttle
assist to off by yourself, the hardest mode still has this set to low.

Second, you can set more things visible in the mirror if you edit
the PLR file, (in the save/playername/settings folder, named
playername.plr) I'm at work now, I can't check if smoke is an option
in there.

I didn't test it yet, but can't you see this on the LCD? The little
green bar above each wheel. (Use the H key (default) to change the
LCD mode)

Nah, old stuff. We had that in Pit Stop many years ago :o)

Wow that's a game I had long forgot about. I guess that was really my first
pc racing game I ever played back on my C64. Ah those good old days of 10
minute load times, a single joystick with one button, and doing it all on
the living room TV :-)
