Online racing for two players

Hi, I'm trying to link up with my nephew to race over the internet for a two player game (where I host the game and email him my IP address for him to join the session) Am I right in thinking all of the following games can do this. What kind of performance can we expect. Are there any other racing games that have this feature ? TOCA TOCA2 Ultimate Race Pro Rally masters Viper racing GPL F12001 Thanks, Ian

TBH, Ian, these days it might be quicker to make a list of those that DON'T have this option. GP3, for example...but in reality, most do nowadays.

I've never tried F1 2001 multiplayer (heard it sux), but noticed that you can't race any AI cars. Anyone know if this will change for F1 2002? On Sun, 28 Apr 2002 11:20:06 GMT, "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote:

not that I'm aware of ...since each car 'seems' to need over 100 kbs(unlike papyrus' 21.9), adding AI cars would most likely ruin the multi even further. At least I'll say this about the ISI multi. With SCGT and F1 2000, you all had to wait in a chat lobby before qualifying and racing, there was NO practice. This is one area of improvement, you can now turn laps while waiting for everyone to join, however the little screen hiccups when somebody new joins are pretty tough if you are in a turn. dave henrie "TimW" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Point taken. My list was just a list of those games with multiplayer that I own. I suppose what I should have asked is which games make the best job of it. I've searched the archives but most discussions of multiplayer gaming in this group are for Nascar games or VROC. Thanks, Ian

Papy, Codemasters and Ratbag make the best lag-free games, I think. Rally Masters works, as do others (STCC, etc), but basically CERTAINLY the first two, and mostly the third do good multi. HTH!

Need for Speed/Porsche Unleashed also has this. This game features sprints over road courses that usually take 2 to 4 minutes. The Internet NFS/PU has a nice community. Larry
