I think this demo is just a ploy by Microsoft to convince me to get better
hardware, because my P75 just ain't what it used to be.

1.      I just have a regular 16-bit sound card, but to me these cars sound
like a bunch of vaccuum cleaners.  Now my speakers are fine though.

2.      How do you get the track overlay to appear?  I want to see that
overhead shot of the track so I can better acquaint myself as to where I am on
the track, or is this beyond my machine's capabilities?

3.      I really don't like racing as someone else.  I hope the forthcoming
editor will allow me to create my own car and team.

4.      How do you drive in reverse?  After smoking the wall, I wanted to back
out, but unlike Nascar2/ICR2 I can't specify what control to use in order to
back out.

All-in-all, it looks like it's an improvement on ICR2, but like always,
there's some tradeoffs.

<sigh> Oh well, I guess there's no reason for me to buy this, because my
machine just ain't capable.  Maybe after Christmas.........

I think they sound very good. They have more of the turbo sound.
Use your downshift control. It will go to neutral (0)  then reverse
(-1)

ON a P200 with 3dfx video it is great!
