You have to buy a video card that has the rendition chip. Some come
with ICR2 rendtion version. Just having the software would be useless. I
don't know if it would actually work but it would probably be something
like running Grand Prix 2 on a 486/SX25.

Yes, that's right.  It comes with all 15 of the original tracks -plus 5 new
true color versions of Road America, Laguna Seca, Michigan, Phoenix, and
Portland.  The original tracks and converted Nascar tracks look better than
they did before, though, because of the Rendition's 3D capabilities.

Personally I go up into the red light for a second or two. You can
here it spinning real hard then. Any longer and nothing happens as the
rev limiter cuts in anyway. The draw back is if you go into the red to
long and to often you run the chance of stuffing your engine..
Take note in the TV views how they do it..

Dont worry about that. Some of the english need to be sorry for there
poor english... :-)

Yo Shane,

You gotta wait till the RED LED Hi-lights.....try deselect all pilots
from the Driver/Team menu, then run a track race....watch the computer
jockeys do there stuff to get the right idea.

Yeah! GP2 is GOOD.....

This also has a tendency to produce poor fuel milage.
