IndycarRacer on 386/40 ?

Hi all, I have been considering purchasing ICR since its release, but I am afraid that I will be disappointed with the frame rate on my 386/40 since I am used to playing World Circuit F1GP. I would like to hear from some people that are running in a similar setup whether it is worth purchasing or whether I should save the money towards a motherboard upgrade :) I would appreciate any responses, Thanks in advance.

I have a lot of the details turned down and it runs pretty good. I will always turn down detail in return for better game play, so that gives you an idea where I'm coming from. BTW, I have maximum number of cars turned on. -=Dave.

Well, I am running IndyCar on 386/33 w/ 4 Megs and the frame rate is very decent. I switch off all the details except tyre texture, horizon and smoke/dirt. On ovals I can put some trackside objects on. When I'm racing I use similar setup and 15 opponents. The frame rate drops a little but is still very playable. I recommend the game strongly! What a great game! BTW, has anyone done sub 65 secs lap on Portland and if so, what kind of setup are you using? My best so far is 1:05,512 using ACE setup + some modifications on gearratios and some more wing up front. Anyway, all of you doubt: buy the game! Happy New Year -- !
