I have just installed GTR FIA GT in German but, after having followed
the instructions in order to make it start without cd I have found out that
GTA works only if I disconnect from the motherboard the CD-ROM driver. My
question is this: is it  possible to execute the patched GTR with the cd-rom
reader connected to the MB?

Thanks

Check this site,

http://www.gamers-paradies.com/index2.php

There is a no-cd at this site which works on GTR, the original but not the
patched version.  You still have to deal with German, as the
German-to-English patch doesn't work with the no-cd, at least I was not able
to get it to work on either patch.

If you find out otherwise, let us know, please.

Actually, this disconnecting of the CD reader is in the instructions.

But this is not needed, if one gets the no-cd from the site pointed to
above.  And the no-cd also works with the newest 1.2 patch.  I discovered
that I was not following directions closely enough when I ran the patch. It
is necessary to rename any "patched" version in a specific way, if the no-cd
is to work with successive patched versions.

And so it goes and it does work.  When this game comes to North America, I
will most certainly purchase it.  As it now stands, I must resort to what I
must resort.  :)

Merry Christmas All,

Alanb

thanks for your post. Will one be able to race online with the no-cd
patch installed?

All the best, uwe

I'm just running the game to get used to it and get faster, until the game
is release here in the United States.

Later,

All I know is that my CD drive is F:; my burner is G:; and *** has
created a virtual CD Drive on H:.  Can someone clue me on on exactly
what I need to do to get this No-CD patch to work with my *** 120%
set-up?

Thanks!

Pre-mie Pot Pie

When working with prematurely delivered newborns (or chicken) use sherry;
red wine with beef (buy steak or roast, do not pre-boil).

Pie crust (see index)
Whole fresh pre-mie; eviscerated, head, hands and feet removed
Onions, bell pepper, celery
? cup wine
Root vegetables of choice (turnips, carrots, potatoes, etc) cubed

Make a crust from scratch - or go shamefully to the frozen food section
   of your favorite grocery and select 2 high quality pie crusts (you
   will need one for the top also).
Boil the prepared delicacy until the meat starts to come off the bones.
Remove, de-bone and cube; continue to reduce the broth.
Brown the onions, peppers and celery.
Add the meat then season, continue browning.
De-glaze with sherry, add the reduced broth.
Finally, put in the root vegetables and simmer for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly.
Place the pie pan in 375 degree oven for a few minutes so bottom crust is not soggy,
   reduce oven to 325.
Fill the pie with stew, place top crust and with a fork, seal the crusts together
   then poke holes in top.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until pie crust is golden brown.

Sudden Infant Death Soup

SIDS: delicious in winter, comparable to old fashioned Beef and Vegetable Soup.

High quality marinade (Teriyaki and garlic perhaps)
1 inch cubes of tender meat, preferably from the nursery
Onions
bell peppers
Wooden or metal skewers

Marinate the meat overnight.
Get the grill good and hot while placing meat, vegetables, and
   fruit such as pineapples or cherries on the skewers.
Don?t be afraid to use a variety of meats.
Grill to medium rare,
   serve with garlic cous-cous and sauted asparagus.
Coffee and sherbet for desert then walnuts, cheese, and port.
Cigars for the gentlemen (and ladies if they so desire)!

Crock-Pot Crack Baby

When the quivering, hopelessly ***ed crack baby succumbs to death,
get him immediately butchered and into the crock-pot, so that any
remaining toxins will not be fatal. But don?t cook it too long,
because like Blowfish, there is a perfect medium between the poisonous
and the stimulating. Though it may not have the same effect on your
guests, a whole chicken cooked in this fashion is also mighty tasty.

Newborn Parmesan

This classic Sicilian cuisine can easily be turned into Eggplant Parmesan
If you are planning a vegetarian meal. Or you could just as well use veal -
after all, you have to be careful - Sicilians are touchy about their young
family members...

6 newborn or veal cutlets
Tomato gravy (see index)
4 cups mozzarella, 1cup parmesan, 1cup romano
Seasoned bread crumbs  mixed with  
   parmesan
   romano
   salt
   pepper
   oregano
   garlic powder
   chopped parsley
Flour
eggwash (eggs and milk)
Peanut oil for frying.

Pound the cutlets.
Dredge in flour, eggs, then the bread crumb mixture.
Fry till golden brown in 350 peanut oil.

   then one of meat, gravy, and cheese.
Another layer each of meat, gravy, and cheese.
Then bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
Serve on hot pasta with romano cheese.

Southern Fried Small-fry

Tastes like fried chicken, which works just as well.
In fact you may want to practice cutting up whole chickens
for frying before you go for the real thing.
Whole chicken is much more efficient and inexpensive than buying pieces.

1 tiny human, cut into pieces
2 cups flour
Onion, garlic
Salt
pepper
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
hot sauce, etc.
Oil for frying

Mix milk, eggs, hot sauce in a bowl, add chopped onion and garlic.
Season the meat liberally, and marinate for several hours.

Drain and place on paper towels.

Miscarriage with Mustard Greens

Why waste it? Otherwise, and in gener

First stuff the heads, or make the patties (see index)
   then fry or bake.  
Set aside to drain on paper towels.
Make a roux with butter, oil and flour,
   brown vegetables in the roux, then add chicken stock and
   allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the patties or stuffed heads, and some loose crawfish,
   lobster, long piglet, or what have you.
Cook on low for 15 minutes, then allow it to set for at least
   15 minutes more.
Serve over steamed rice; this dish is very impressive!

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Babies really can be found under a cabbage leaf -
or one can arrange for ground beef to be found there instead.

8 large cabbage leaves
1 lb. lean ground newborn human filets, or ground chuck
Onions
peppers
celery
garlic
soy sauce
salt pepper, etc
Olive oil
breadcrumbs
Tomato Gravy (see index)

Boil the cabbage leaves for 2 minutes to soften.
In skillet, brown the meat in a little olive oil,
   then add onions, peppers, and celery (all chopped finely)
   and season well.
Place in a large bowl and cool.
Add seasoned breadcr
