yeah..i've got problem with this game too! it freezes when i try to go
into a RACE...i can practice though...you also need to work on the
PAINTSHOP!! It's VERY hard to use!  It is better in my opinion than
POD.. POD requires a 3D accelerator or an awesome machine! I have a P166
and it was about 5 fps!! at low detail!
