The tracks are real world tracks. Some of its a bot wierd but its really goos u have gotta get it.

Buy this game, this is what we in the Mac community have been waiting for.
The physics model is realistic, the cars each have their own handling characteristics and the tracks require a certain amount of finess attainable with a small practice. The graphics are somewhere between Gran Tourismo 2 and 3. The sound is different for each car and the realism is exciting.
I always found the Formula 1 race from Feral to be a small too hard to guide with out most driving assistants turned on. TIR on the other hand is more forgiving when driver errors knock you off the track. You can still recover and get back in the race with out having the computer help you in braking, turning, etc.
I hope Feral continues to support this game with new tracks and cars. My G5 does sometimes start to drop frames when the action is quick but that’s on a 19″ monitor with 256Mb RAM. Hopefully upgrading the RAM will help.
This is the new standard in Mac racing.

Driving simulations, thanks to today’s quick personal computers are very realistic…but this isn’t one of them. Total Immersion Racing (TIR) is a Mac/PC version of an arcade game and it looks like it and drives like it. Reflect PlayStation and you have the right thought. Try the free download demo version before you buy.
For a much more realistic driving experience (a $55-$100 USB steering wheel and pedals set really is a necessity) try $20 ‘NASCAR Racing Season 2003′ (NASCAR) or $30 ‘F1 Championship Season 2000′ (F1CS2K). Don’t let the dates make you reflect these simulations are ancient-they refer to the tracks, cars and drivers from that year.
NASCAR cars are huge, heavy and powerful. The sim does an incredible job of modeling the feel of drifting and sliding; you really can steer with throttle and weight shift. Instant replays are fun to watch, and the program even includes a limited editor so you can make your own movie with highlights using several different camera angles. The sound of the huge V8s really adds to the fun, and for you hot-rodders out there you can tweak just about everything about the cars to try to scrape another .1 second off your lap time. Online racing against drivers on your LAN or around the world on the Web is also possible too. A downloadable demo is available free from various sites, but they’re huge at 100+ gigabytes, so unless you have DSL or cable modem just let Amazon sell you one. You’ll be glad you did.
F1CS2K cars are small, light, very nimble and very quick. With a force pointer steering wheel you can feel the road better than with NASCAR, indeed you can even feel the rumble strips at the apex of a turn and the wheel gets loose when you’re briefly airborne over a rise. To guide quick you MUST practice, and the drivers’ school, which is very demanding, really helps increase your skill. F1CS2K is, in my opinion more realistic than NASCAR, but it’s also the toughest to guide well and thus-for my cash-the more enjoyable. But I still guide NASCAR periodically, just because the huge cars are fun in their own macho noisy way. Once you’re turning respectable laps on a Grand Prix track (my favorite is Spa in the mountains) try it again in the rain! Very humbling even with the “grip” set-up. LAN and on-line racing also available with dozens of pre-established cars and set ups and thousands of possible combinations, as with NASCAR, if you want to tweak things yourself. You can save a loop of the last 20-120 minutes of driving at each track for instant replays depending on how much disk space you have (min. 500Mb but none required to guide). Free download demo also available on the Web.
My Logitech Momo Racing USB steering wheel and pedals set work very well with TIR, NASCAR, and F1CS2K. If you have an grown-up, slower computer go for the NASCAR sim which has more ‘low end’ graphics options. But with any G4 or G5 Mac both NASCAR and F1CS2K will bring you incredible graphics, realistic handling, lots of fun and, if you delight in them as much as I do, hours of lost sleep.
BTW, if you ever thought a couple of beers doesn’t effect your driving, have a couple and watch what happens to your lap times. Very sobering.
