A lot of the drivers in open races are good and clean, but all it takes is one overzealous jerk. Diki, if you find yourself getting addicted (and you will<g>), think about joining a league.

If you think VROC pickup races are nasty, you should try some N4 races online.. You'll love it if you like driving 90% of the race behind a pacecar :) Andre "The physics model in the final version of 4x4 Evolution will me much better than it is in the demo" - David G Fisher
