Is the question I am asking, the subject in question is Microproses latest
racing game in the `World Circuit Racing` Series of the PC. For the life
of me, I cant quite remember its name.

>From the box it looks a bit like Fatal Racing from Gremlin, has anybody
out there brought this yet? What do you think of it? It mentions
networking on the box, will this work with just one CD ?

It's called F1GP2 (Formula 1 Grand Prix 2). It's nothing like Fatal
Racing at all, it's a lot more realistic and "techie" - a bit
like...ooh, Terminal Velocity versus TFX: Eurofighter for flight-sims.
But it's good.

Why are you posting that in groups that have nothing to do with Indy
Car Racing?

you mean, erm, well it was going to be called rage racer with it's changing
track system, think it's coded by bethesda softworks (terminator:FS) so it
should be damn fast, and the gfx look pretty good. Besides can't be worse
that Fatal Racing (whiplash) as that was appauling, slow, and poor graphics.
Anyone like Big Red Racing? got the demo last week and it's a right laugh
even in one player mode.

No, wrong game completely. See my follow up. Oh, where'd you get the BRR
demo?

thats not the one he means, sheesh a software company are allowed to release
two racing games aren't they? F1GP2, and this other one, whose name evades
me right now. Was going to be called rage racer.
