Is there a reason why on my version of ICR II I'm only running 235 at
Michigan while at my brothers I've run 238 & 239 using the same specs
and weather ? He's using the Dos while I'm running the Mac version of
the game. He came over and ran some laps and we just don't understand
why my car is slower.
Also I'm interested in getting NASCAR for my Mac but I've heard some
rumblings that there are bugs in it. Is that true ?
Please e-mail me with your answers.
Thanks in adavance,
J.Yeager

As far as I know, the DOS/Windows/Mac version of ICR2 are identical (you
can even use DOS carsets and tracks). There should be no difference. On
the other hand, early DOS-versions contain at least one bug which causes
problems for the first 15 minutes the program is running.
Are you playing with keyboard, joystick or wheel? Maybe the input device
behaves a bit different ... with keyboard you are especially lousy at
michigan (because you can't set the wheel lock lower than 5). I can't beat
229 ... 8^(
Another cause could be a different framerate. At higher framerate you can
drive more exactly which results in slightly better lap times.
Nascar for Mac is the same as Nascar1 for PC but adds the 96 season and a
better user interface. If came out _after_ ICR2/Mac and contains in my
opinion less bugs. I also get the feeling that the framerate is slightly
better. Also note that the Nascar/Mac-CD is not hybrid, it only contains
the Mac version.
I am definitely ***ed to both!

Does your brother have the "patched" version of ICR2? There were
changes in the Michigan track that made it much harder to get the same
speeds with the unpatched version. I am assuming that the Mac version
includes the "patched" Michigan. This could explain it.
