Indianapolis 500: best times

I was recently playing Indianapolis 500, an older game released by Papyrus (although I may be wrong). It's old, but you really get the feel of going 235+ MPH down the straights. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone still plays this game, and if they do, or did, what their best times are. I got a 38:61 a few days ago, and was wondering if that's competitive. Thanks W.Tymowski

i remember getting laps around 237 mph, dont know what the times were. (dont want to pull out the calculator either) | "i give not a ***for thee." andy roesch | -- t.s. #416 (fmoos)

competition to see who could get the fastest lap, I got close but didn't quite beat it. I can't remember the exact figure but I know mine was in the 242+ MPH region. You have to use the buick and an joystick or you don't stand a chance. Chris

Anybody know if you can use a T1 on Indy500? (just curious) I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!? Eldred Pickett

I remember a lap I've complete at 241.1 or 241.2 mph few years ago(I was in an intensive training period of Indy500!). It's just incredible to stay on the track at these speeds! (more than 235 in the corners), with the lola-buick, obviously. -- Benoit PARMENTIER, eleve en deuxieme annee a l'Ecole Centrale de Paris "Mailez-vous de ce qui vous regarde!"
