UBisoft F1 Racing Demo

I downloaded the 30 MB F1 Racing demo from operation 3dfx. After unzipping the file and clicking on the F1voo.exe, the game asks for the CD to be inserted. What gives?

I downloaded the latest english demo from http://www.f1racingsim.com and i can tell you that it is FANTASTIC . I originally downloaded the "pirate" demo from Avault and can tell you that this version is much better. No slowdown anywhere on my P 200 3DFX Voodoo . Also i tried the running the D3D version and can tell you that new 3DFX D3D 2.14 drivers add very vivid color to the game. The D3D is not that much slower than 3DFX though you miss out on special effects which are excellent. no request for CD on my demo.........cheers Chatham

WAAAAAAAA! I just missed it. Today the demo is pulled from f1racingsim.com (and the france version from o3dfx, too). Is anyone out there nice enough to email me the locale of maybe a private ftp site that I can grab it from or something? I really want the english version! -- The Scripps Research Institute http://www.scripps.edu/~jsmith

Wooooo! I found it! If anyone else needs the english version, send me email, I'll tell you in private where to get it. I don't want to get anybody in trouble by posting it here :-) -- The Scripps Research Institute http://www.scripps.edu/~jsmith
