Well, it is about 8 months older than GP2, if that gives you some
perspective. :)
The Rendition 3D version was (is) extremely nice, but you have to
have a Rendition video card to enjoy it. It's still a good sim for
those with older machines (ie: Pentium I and no 3D), but those used to
today's sims graphics may be disappointed (just remember, its almost 5
years old and 640x480x8-bit was good back then; Rendition 16-bit color
was outstanding :).

a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
Defintely get a copy. You can buy David Noonan's track converter and convert
almost all of the tracks from CART to GPL! Well worth your $10.

Hey
They CART game from Papyrus is Indycar Racing II (They redid the box because
I think ICR2 was released before the CART/IRL split). Anyhow, this sim was
released before NASCAR Racing 2 (this is actually where the physics engine
for N2 came from, it was quite revolutionary from N1 just like GPL is going
to be for N4.) Anyhow, I'm sure this CART Racing is about $10-$15, I
suggest that for $10-$15 you pick up SportsCar GT by ISI/EA. Excellent fun,
until Friday I imagine it can be called the #1 Offline racing simulation.
The rain/night condition racing is a blast. Plus there are 4 class (GT1,
GT2, GT3, and GTQ.)
Also, you can pickup Dirt Track Racing by Ratbag (or soon Dirt Track Racing:
Sprint Cars) for about $20, excellent sim indeed!

http://simracing.com/alison/sims/icr2.htm looks like Papyrus reissued it as
CART like you wrote. Also It is NFS PU , didn't specify that in my earlier
post.

NFS PU is the best in the NFS series, imo. Well worth getting.

If by CART game you mean any OTHER CART game then Sierra's, RUN AWAY!

The one by Papyrus? It was excellent for it's time. But, to me it
feels very dated now and I can no longer get into it like I used to.

Papyrus's CART Racing, formerly known as IndyCar Racing 2 or ICR2 to for short,
is an older sim, from 1995, that is still pretty popular for its age. It's a
great game, a blast to drive. I advise that you pick it up and join the CORAL
offline racing league (http://members.aol.com/sctracks/coral ) and have some
fun!

yes
Will Indy Car Racing II run on an Athlon 800/GeForce DDR/Windows 98/MSFFW?
I've had that game for years, but I think I remember it 'breaking' somewhere
along the line.
I'd love to play it again if it will work with newer hardware...
