Viper Racing--first impressions

OK, I gave on trying to get the TNT card to work for the evening, so I put my ATI rage pro turbo back in. (17 FPS) The track designs are very good, definitely more of a chance to "haul some ass" than on NFS III. Bemidji is a standard oval, with a CHICANE! Brilliant! Dayton is a tri-oval, but it's 3 MILES LONG! MGI did a great job giving us these two tracks which might appeal to NASCAR'ers, but they aren't the run -of-the -mill 12-30 sec/ lap yawn-inducing tracks like the ones in real life. The rest of the tracks are cool, some has some very steep elevation changes, or no guard rails on a cliffside, so you had better be careful. There are five more vehicles available from the hacks folder. There are a coupe, sports sedan, airplane?, an ***, which is Ferrari-like, and one other I can't remember. I didn't drive nay of these. The career mode should be cool. All I did was race the first series of three races, and finished last in all three, so all I won was $75. Everything else seems to be the same as far as handling, sound, graphics, etc. The default setup seemed to be different, though. The manual is very good although there are some grammatical errors, and some of the screenshots are from the first demo. It's 119 pages and it has detailed strategy for each track, including the best racing line and even setup help. Bravo! Great sim/game. Don't really have any major complaints yet. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Peace, love and Monkeemobiles, Galley
