I've been pondering over whether or not I should buy this game... are
the graphics as good (or at least comparable) to those of the
Playstation? I've seen demos that are VGA, is the actual product SVGA?
If so, what are the frame rates like (specifically, on a P-120/16mb
RAM)? Just wondering...

VGA only, unfortunately. Frame rates are fine (P133), but unless you
have a pretty small monitor the graphics seem really lo-res.
I also didn't think the game had much depth. Not many tracks, the
tracks they do have are pretty simple. And the "feel" of the driving
was awful - I had it hooked up to my analog joystick, but it didn't
seem to take advantage of it - it just used it like a d-pad. In my
opinion, the game suffers by being _too_ exact a port from the
Playstation - they didn't take the time to reprogram it to take
advantage of the PCs capabilities (no modem play, for another
example).
It didn't last a day on my hard-drive (I traded it in for IndyCar
Racing II - great racing simulation). Now, if you want a _fantastic_
"arcade" driving game, get Need For Speed. Great graphics (fast in
SVGA on my system, full texture graphics with a good frame rate, at
least 20-25 fps), great tracks, totally realistic driving feel,
different cars, etc.

I have the game and it is fun but I can't get it to work with my
Formula T2 steering wheel. The wheel works fine but i cant get it to
use the pedals and this is a pain. If someone knows how to make this
work i would greatly appreciate knowing how to make it work. Thanks

You cant use the pedals in this game you have to use the buttons on
your dash to go

: The graphics are fine as are the sound effects. However, you can
: only drive from behind the car which restricts your vision and makes
: lining up opponents very very hard. I got bored very very quickly,
I drive from inside the car, kind of a nose view. Just hit F3, or F4, and
it will toggle the different views.

I bought the game around the first of Feb. and two weeks later I
sold it. Everyone has different tastes, but for my son and I this
game didn't have too much appeal. I just feel it lacked in too many
areas, plus the lame menu's setup, a real pain. To sum it up in one
word, BORING.
I suggest you try and find a place that rents computer games and try
it before you buy.
