ICR or F1 Racing on a 386

I'm just wondering if either ICR I or F1 Racing[er?] will run on a fairly old IBM 386. Does anyone know? I'm not sure of the mhz at this time, but if they won't run on any 386 that would be enough to know. Thanks in advance. -- Chris Carlone http://www2.uwindsor.ca/~carlone

I have an old 386/25 mhz with 8 megs. RAM. F1GP (World Circuit) works absolutely fine with this setup. Even with 4 megs RAM, it worked great (in fact, I can't tell the difference between 4 and 8 megs.). As far as ICR is concerned, I don't know since I don't have it. Hope this helps.

I once tried to run Indycar I on my old 386SX/20, and it did not work. The thing just locked when I tried to go to a race track. I suspect that it might work on a 386DX, but who knows. Later, Matt

It runs OK on the 486 with lot of textures turned off and a reduced number of opponents. The P5 runs it wonderfully at full blast, of course. I'd think running it on a 386 would be unbearable.

I used to have an IBM 386/25mhz w/ 6 meg RAM . . . World Circuit ran fine (although at a less than optimal frame rate), but I couldn't get ICR1 to run acceptably until I got a faster machine. -Brent

ICR worked fine on my 386/33 4MB. I had to turn off ALL detail though and limit the number of cars to like 10. When a race started I'd get like 8 frames per second, after that it'd usually be fine.
