Oh my God! What a game! The tire marks! The pit crews! Running through the mud & snow! I can see why this newsgroup seems to avoid discussing it, though; it really points out some of the flaws in the GPL physics model.

Man, but how do you slow those AI drivers? I've set their rating to 1 and they're still like Schumacher, Senna, Clark & Fangio all rolled into one. They practically lapped me in a 5-lapper.

Yes, I downloaded it a week ago., However, I haven't been able to install it, apparently it requires DirectX 8.1 or something? Or is it that my video card doesn't have enough RAM? No, wait, I just remembered - it's that I've been to busy to install it, just that! ;-) What, they're already in v1.01?
