Its quite a good game but, like EA Superbikes, TOCA 2 and several other
games I have purchased lately, it seems that the game has been released with
incomplete or missing functions. Seems to me the distributors, such as EA,
Microprose and Sierra, put strict deadlines on the priducers/writers. Hence
the huge size of some of the first patches!
