As for simulations: IndyCar Racing II and NASCAR1 were ported. They
should run very fine on any iMac, but these are a bit dated. There are
offline leagues on the net (start for example at
http://macracing.simplenet.com/)

As for others: Driver and Pod Racer are available (or will be available).

Sadly, no GPL 8^(

Hello,

If you hang on for just a sec, we will have a cartridge available for
the Mac for use with the ACT LABS RS.

Raymond, care to give us more details about this cartridge? Is for USB
macs or is the cartridge for ADB macs? Any guess when this will be
available? Thanks.

Take care.

Check out http://www.actlab.com/race2.htm
and also read about the "RS Engine Cartridge" at the bottom.

Now THERE's a real surprise! JC -- go check out ACTLABS website and
their interchangeable engine cartridges for different PC and console
platforms. BTW, I see you use caps and at least SOME punctuation in here
-- your recovery is heartening!

Nascar Racing does indeed exist for the Mac, and the graphics are
actually better than the PC version.

However, Nascar Racing Mac is getting a bit old, and I would have to
be concerned about it running under MacOS 9.

Though I haven't personally done this, I would have to think one of
the newer non-FF USB wheels could be made to work as well.

Actually, Nascar Racing Mac is more of a hybrid between N1 and N2.
The graphics are excellent.
