Phhsss, no way that stuff goes way back.
Hidden speech easter eggs in IndyCar Racing II
Players swapped reports of hidden speech in IndyCar Racing II, chiefly the pace car driver exclaiming after being hit at high speed. Others claimed more easter eggs, such as a spectator in a portable toilet at Cleveland and a man relieving himself at Laguna Seca, some of which turned out to be jokes. Posters noted that digital sound and enough memory were needed to hear the speech.

Heard it on a pace lap at Cleveland. Got a little to close to the
pace car (ok, I hit it) and the little man in the pace car said "What the
hell did you just hit?" Haven't heard anything since.

This was noticed a few days after the demo was available from papyrus
ftp:, posted here by others.

No, it has been mentioned before. As a beta tester, when I got the first
beta, I saw the Winnebagos parked around the inside of Michigan. Mentioned
to papy that it might be nice to have an easter egg such as an attractive
lady sunbathing on the top of one of them (being the dirty gray haired man
that I am). Guess the used a more politically correct and humorous idea..
Has anyone noticed the guy in the "Porta-Potty" looking out the door.
He's at Cleveland.
Has anyone seen the guy at the 'corkscrew' at Laguna yet? Hes taking a
whizz in a field behind a wall. If you go up to him in your car he
says, "Oops, it dribbled down my leg!"

I get the screams from the pace car driver every time I hit
him. I wonder if this has something to do with the sound card
you are running? I've got an AWE32.

move.

If you are running with FM sound or whatever (eg. Typing Indycar -f at the DOS prompt)
then there won't be any speech.

At Loudon you can sometimes hear Tony George crying about all the cars
that got wrecked at Disney Land. :-p
