Is there anyway to upgrade Indycar 2 so that it can support IPX or
TCP\IP network play?

Since ICR2 was an incremental upgrade from the N1 engine, the general
idea was to have the full network capablility built into that as well,
but it never happened. If anyone collects old Software Catalogs like
from Egghead or even Sierra, there are plenty of mentions of racing
against 32 other human opponents a la Hawaii or NROS. However, since
Papy signed an agreement with Nascar NOT to compete with the NRO series,
I think the whole network stuff was left out of ICR2. I am unaware of
any undocumented network compatiblity like N1 had. I think for network
multi play, we'll have to wait for the new CART package due next year.
Til then, in open wheels, the F1RS and CPR titles do have some net
capability.
