Depending on your graphics card and processor you should be able to run just
about every add-on there is. You should patch to 1.2.0.1 if you have a
processor that runs slower than 1.4GHz and 1.2.0.2 if your CPU is faster.
This patch is essential for online racing and implements force feedback.
There are over 100 add-on tracks, all the cars have been remodelled and
there are a wide range of graphics updates for a lot of the tracks.I suggest
you visit these sites for more info:
