I have the original ICR2 and have recently installed a 3D Blaster.
Where can I get the rendition enhanced tracks included with the later
version of ICR2?
You can't, but you can install the Rendition patch located on the
Sierra site (the one that addresses the Cyrix issue). This will at
least give you the faster frame rate.

I bought a 3DBlaster a few months ago. Disappointed with it, but kept
it for N2.
Here's the thing tho', ICR2 is listed as a supported game in the blurb
that came with the card. Not fair.
What I found with the patch was that you get a 'crack' along the horison
and you've got to switch off smoke/dirt (missing all it's lovely
transparency effects) as the framerate drops to what must be well under
5fps if the game has to draw it!
Don't know if you get this with the 'real' versions.
Still worth patching.

Man, that sucks! I have a Screamin' 3D and the Enhanced ICR2. With
ALL graphics on (including hi-res mirrors and drawing the full field
ahead and 5 behind, enhanced graphics, DMA mode) I get about 25fps at
the start (every car in view) and up to 50fps running alone!! There's
an "Optimized Sky" option that may or may not help that line between the
sky and horizon textures. The following page is a huge help for running
the enhanced ICR2...

There's a section titled "INDYCAR RACING II GUIDE". Check it out.
Also, make sure you've got the latest video drivers.

Of course, my system helps too:
Pentium 200
32M SDRAM
Screamin' 3D
You can trade the 3D Blaster in for an Intergraph Intense 3D 100 or the
Sierra Screamin' 3D. =)
