Codemasters' Race Driver demo on a magazine cover disc

A demo of Codemasters' TOCA Race Driver appeared on Computer Gaming World's June cover disc, and readers asked for it to be shared. Doug Hook tried it and liked the graphics and physics, but found that controllers had to be reconfigured each time. The thread drifted into NHL playoff banter.

I see there is a demo of this on the June Computer Gaming, has anyone kindly uploaded this for the masses to try? A report on High Gear said a mega PC was needed, but that was running with a Voodoo 5500, has anyone tried it with a T&L card?
Please. can someone put this demo on kaazaa, or other filesharing program? I think its the V5 that isnt so good for new'er games that needs DX8. It would probably run better on geforce.

Considering I was running F1 2001 at 25 fps with my V5 at mid detail and 115 fps with a GF3 Ti 500 at full detail, I'm not too worried about this game on a modern video card. ;0) -- Joe Marques "Andreas Nystrom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0G9z8.4008$[email hidden]... > Please. can someone put this demo on kaazaa, or other filesharing program? > > I think its the V5 that isnt so good for new'er games that needs DX8.

I've searched the internet for such a thing, but I couldn't come up with anything. Could you please post a link to the article you read?

Nope it is in the US. Just picked it up at EB on my way home from work.The magazine has a picture of Mt Rushmore with the Sims characters instead of presidents on the cover. I will install it later and let you guys know what I think. Gotta watch my Bruins beat the Canadiens first. :-) "Andy Atkinson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aakhs0$b8ck9$[email hidden]...

lol yes. I like it and can't wait for the full game to be released. Nice graphics and physics. The demo is kind of a pain . You have to reconfigure your controller every time you want to play it. 4 views( f10,cockpit,hood and bumper)The cockpit view is a little hard because the windshield had kind of a blue tint to it making it hard to see. Damage is the best I have ever seen.The demo gives you a 3 lap race against 5 other cars .All are supra turbos. sounds are excellent too. menus are clean and cool looking. I think this is a big winner.there is a screen that says this demo represents only 60% completion and is dated 2000. Also says June 28 release date. Bring it on.
