Is there anywhere out there where I can find an upgrade to version 1.05?? Is
1.05 an add on upgrade or is it a whole new program? Is this something that is
available on the net or not? Any info would be appreciated as I think I am using
v. 1.03 right now. What is the difference in the new version??

v1.05 is a modem update and since v1.03 it contains also some other minor
improvements:
- If you save game in the championship, you won't be able to see race
finishing times and some other stats, after you have loaded the game.
This is a bugfix.
- You can now link your PC (I think you have a PC, because v1.03 was never
released on the Amiga) with another PC (modem/nullmodem link).
- You can now alter the steering lock if you're using a analogue steering
device. So it is now possible to keep on the track with joystick
and traction control and steering help off :)
- You can switch joystick axes for use with pedals.
- The engine and brake sounds have changed (but isn't yet as good as on
the Amiga (IMO).
- The physical tracks differ in colour on different tracks (shades of grey).
- The lap times during a race in Mexico are now slower than the qualifying
session. This is also a bugfix.
- You can press 'G' during a race to see the gap between you and the cars
before and behind you (recorded at the moment you crossed the finish).
Maybe there are more changes, but these are the ones I know of.
V1.05 is not a complete package but an update for v1.03 or v1.04, so you
need the original package of one of those versions. It is available on
the net via ftp:
site: ftp.uml.edu
