I asked a couple of questions to Rick Genter (from Papyrus) about
icr2 so here it is:

Subject:          Re: Got ICR II, questions to Rick Genter.

1- Where is Jaques ? I can't beleive you would forget to
   include the actual Champion of the serie :). I suppose there
   is just legal stuff behind the fact that he is not represented
   in the game !?
<<<

Licensing.

2- The Paintkit runs in VGA mode. Isn't there a loss of pixels
   when you map the cars in SVGA ? So will there be a SVGA Paintkit
   in the future ? With Win95 perhaps ?
<<<

The VGA paintkit gives you access to every pixel of car texture. You
aren't losing anything. On the other hand, wait until you see the Windows
95/Macintosh paint kits. Breathtaking!

3- The breaking model seems to have included the locking of wheels
   ( if you break too hard, you lock the wheels and slide),
   am i right ?
<<<

Yes and no. The wheels don't actually lock, but you can slide.

4- You talked about a coupon for Windows95 users to get the Win95
   version free (apart from Delivery) when it shipes, there was none
   in my box. Has the policy changed ?
<<<

There was no coupon, but the policy has not changed. DOS purchasers will
be able to obtain the Windows 95 version for a nominal fee when it is
released.

5- Do you have an idea of when the Multiplayer Service at Papyrus
   will be on-line ?
<<<

Nope.
