619.1 | They never have to pit stop!!?????? | SUBSYS::SCHNARE | CHARLIE SCHNARE | Sun Mar 31 1991 12:27 | 8 |
| 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?

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.

| 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.

| I agree with .3.. it's a real dud.
Rent it before buying it and you will congratulate yourself
on avoiding a real turkey...

(after seeing the movie a few million times) in buying the
game. I would like to rent it first.
