619.1They never have to pit stop!!??????SUBSYS::SCHNARECHARLIE SCHNARESun Mar 31 1991 12:278
    Here's my problem. 
    I get a pole position or third place in the qualifing round. 
    When thee real race starts so guy manages to out accelerate me and get
    into the lead. Then I am in second and can't get around the guy.
    I run low on fuel, make a 26 second pit stop for tires,fuel etc..
    and lose three to five places.{And of course the other guys never need
    a pit stop. At least I haven't seen one stop.}  What can I do? How do you 
    get by the guy in first?
619.2Did it once not easy!ASABET::D_SWEENEYWed Apr 03 1991 09:5212
    
    I rented this game one night managed to place second twice, and won
    once.  Getting into first is a matter of using your fuel wisely and 
    not going full speed, you've got to get into the "draft" of the lead
    car and try to keep a comfortable speed behind him, usually you can 
    slingshot your way around.  Winning a race is much harder however,
    becouse even after you get in to first you have to make a pit stop
    were as the computer car doesn't.  The one race I manged to win was
    at Dover I think, Which ever one is longest. I pitted early and then
    managed to hang on.

619.3this game sucksSCOAYR::JRAMAGETue May 21 1991 09:099
    Hi There,
            I've played the game and think the best description
            of it was in this months Video&Computer Games Monthly
            the sound is rubbish,graffics are poor compared to other
            games,in general crap but thats just my opinion.
    
                       Regards,

I agree with .3.. it's a real dud.

Rent it before buying it and you will congratulate yourself
on avoiding a real turkey...
