No way! Most of us are fans of both... well, ok... I like ICR a
***y tiny bit better because I've actually been to some of the
tracks... :) :) :)
Plus, the IndyCar drivers are more competitive than the F1 drivers!!
(flame-bait!) Just kidding... glad we finally got thi group!!!

YES! My next car will be a Race Drivin' machine. :-)
I have gotten a 1:17 on the original track, a :24 on the autocross track,
but I haven't yet finished the last one. :-(
The Autocross is great for learning heel-and-toe...

this way, you dont really have to worry about braking too much, as engine brak-
ing at the end of the stretches will slow you down enough. any input?

The best thing about Race Driving is that you can play for as long as
your talent and stamina will allow. On the super stunt track all one
has to do is run sub 2:30 times and avoid breaks in concentration. I
once played the game for 2 hours strait, scored well over a million,
ran times in the 2:23 range, and quit with over a minute in spare
time. I came away with a newfound understanding of just how tiring
a sport autoracing is. I was covered in sweat and was dog tired and
probably wouldn't have been able to spray champagne had any been
available. I can only wonder how rally and endurance drivers manage
the real thing.

For the best times, I generally use the automatic. In the first turn, I
get it up to about 60, nail the brakes, and trail-brake as I crank
*** the wheel to slide around. I punch it, cut across the grass for
the right-hander and do the same thing. For the last few turns I brake
hard, but don't slide as much.
Remember, just like real racing, brake as late and as hard as you dare!

*kneels* I'm not worthy! :-)
I can't seem to ever get a score over 200,000 on any track. I've gotten
50,000 on the super stunt, 170,000 on the original (140,000 on an old
sit-up Race Drivin' that allowed you to shift without the clutch), and
90,000 on the autocross tracks. I would probably do well on the super
stunt if I could just get over that damn rollercoaster hill. I always
either fall backwards or fly over and spin. How fast do you generally
go over it?

That would do it :-)
You have to "floor" it getting up to the top. (but not go higher than
100mph)
That will rush you up the hill, and have you airbourne for a few seconds.
Take your foot off the gas the instant you are in the air, or even a
second before you get airbourne.
NORMAL games will automatically then have your car rpm fall.
If you don't quite make it to the top, try to get it over with as little
gas as possible. You may also have to shift to 2nd if you screwed up.
If the rpm does not fall while you're airbourne.. you're in big trouble.
complain to your arcade manager.
Anyways.. stay in third, and basically coast over the top. You then have
to wait until the car is pointing practically straight down, and FLOOR IT!
If you do not floor it, you're gonna die.
Ta-daaaa! You're careening towards the tunnel, and a sharp right turn
thereof is imminently neccessary :-)
