Hi, Has anyone tried the above and would like to comment on it. I dug out my old copy after downloading the patch (which allows me to use CH Pedals with my GP1) and I seem to have renewed my interest in this game. The `walls' really hurt the game, but I think it's pretty fun. Certainly the best rally sim/game available now. Are the tracks in X-Miles of greater variety. Any new stuff or bug fixes? Stanley

It helps if you have a wheel and pedals, so you can apply a touch (or a lot) of brakes without letting up on the gas (i.e., driving with two feet). Then depending on speed, track texture, etc., you have some real turning power to do some sliding (though in a fairly realistic way, not too arcady). Joe

I bought and used RC - but grew tired of it in a swish. How are the X-miles? Are there any actual corners that you can`t fly through in 6th? Any places you *really* have to brake? Any stages that the top speed does not reach 150mph? Interested, Matt -- Matthew Birger Knutsen Cheek Racing Cars Flatebyveien 5, N-1792 Norway Fax (+47) 69 19 02 55 Mobile: (+47) 92 44 66 50
